ZT - CDTI exhaust woes
This week, I have replaced all the back brakes except back plates which were delivered yesterday and ready to fit this week, plus a rear wheel bearing (cap was missing and the inner bearing race seized itself to the shaft) I find that there are 3 decent sized holes in the rear silencer, plus the outer skin rotted years ago so at 19 years old and 150k miles it's not done too bad.
Has anyone found a good make that fits as it should, or can anyone personally recommend a decent stainless exhaust place around the Midlands? I have had some stainless quotes but from places I don't know and when you read the reviews they were all bad. Any help or guidance would be great. Thanks, Steve Just an add-on, I did strip the other rear bearing off to check that was okay, the grease was all dry and cake like, no wear on the races so I cleaned out all the bad grease then re-greased and refitted. |

MIJ Exhaust, Pleck Road. Had a stainless back exhaust box fitted to the V6 in March. £195 fitted.. Going to have one fitted to the diesel later this year.

If the slight increase in noise does not bother you, then for the one off price you will pay , for the cat back system , its a no brainer. You will save money in the long term and hassle free , is a big incentive. If done well and you dont mind a little extra noise ( it wont be as quiet as the original set up ) as marinabrian once remarked , it should outlive the life of the car . Fair comment.
