Rimmer 75-silencer quality
Hello folks!
I need to replace the end silencer on my v6-75, and have been quoted one from Rimmer. How do you rate the quality of the product? Regards from Leif (the Viking) |

I have fitted a couple of these, very good quality though not as good as the original ones fitted in the factory.

As far as I am aware they sell good quality parts. Having just replaced the back box on my V6 with a cheaper version off EBay I have no complaints with it but it is a bit louder than the original box. You get what you pay for. I was in a bit of a rush to get mine as we were due to get a ferry to Ireland on the Tuesday afternoon and it arrived Monday morning!
£40 including delivery from a Germany. Will put a top quality one on when I am flush again.

I have a note that the factory fitted boxes were by Bosal. Does anyone know if that's right?

Yes, the originals were made by Bosal who unfortunately no longer exist

Bosal Exhaust
So who is the company at www.bosal.com who say they have been in business since 1923 and sell, amongst other things, exhaust systems??
