GT Exhausts CDTi
My car is now approaching 160k and I know a new exhaust is fast approaching.
I did read on here that 'GT Exhausts' were worth looking at but cannot trace where. Anyway, I did find their web and found that all Rovers are well catered for. Therefore, has anyone any feed back on their quality?, or is there a high quality alternative available elsewhere? please and thanks |

How'do John
I fitted a GT backbox to my 1.8t a tad over 2 years ago - I paid £54 delivered I wasn't expecting anything special quality wise - I had to get one quick for MOT at the time - it fits the Car well and sounds Good - no drone or excessive noise the only issue I had - the connection end had not been flared, so I had to buy a coupler No big deal IMO. I'm sure it will last another 2 years minimum - so represents Good Value for my Money Paul. |

Thanks
Thanks for responding - much appreciated - nice to have some feed back on non OE parts. Keeping up to date with the reliability of our now 14 years plus cars, at 160K I start each long journey wondering - The in tank fuel pump and Exhaust are original - Clutch - on my third (believe in pre maintenance so changed at approx 60k). Like most of us - I've spent thousands but it's a labour of love and 'her in doors' keeps nagging to replace. (the car, of course) Off to Southampton tomorrow am and again, fingers crossed.

It's a fair bit louder than an OEM exhaust and I guess for someone who wants the car as OEM as possible it's a bit loud. No issue for me as I've had sport exhaust across most of my cars and my 75 isn't being used as a gentlemans car. I also had issue with the fitting and the sleve listed didn't work either, they ended up just welding it on. |
