Default 17% off - Carparts4less

Seemed like a good deal to me. Their normal prices are good with free delivery so 17% off is a bonus.

https://www.carparts4less.co.uk/

Just stocked up on service parts but have a good range....

I usually wait for one of their more generous sales and then stock up on engine oil, and just have.

Question Klarius exhaust - any good?

A Klarius exhaust (for 75 KV6 saloon) works out at £106.50 - but is it any good?

This is from the cat back.

https://www.carparts4less.co.uk/search/704750431

https://www.carparts4less.co.uk/cp4l...bb80cb1&000536

Total cost £88.39 with the 17% discount.

The equivalent parts are £369.27 from Rimmers.

Yes their prices seem very good but then after ordering you actually get it ...

Not a big fan of the rear silencer, prefer Walker even if it costs more.

Do you think the mix-up at the warehouse was a one-off or is it commonplace for them?

What's the difference between the Walker and the Klarius?

I have been ordering from carparts4less for over 10 years and never had an issue with "warehousing problems" or any other problem.

Judging by the comment from MSS rare, but the cover-up and lies didn't do much for their reputation.

The Klarius type I've fitted had a couple of welded on hooks whereas the Walker had a strap all the way around it.

I bought a Bosal 278 987 back box which is a combination of both - it has 2 hooks welded to a 2-piece strap that goes all the way round. I never fitted it because I couldn't get the middle section to go with it.

(That could be 278 967)

After playing around with getting the exhaust rubber hangers in place with the Klarius box I thought the Walker was much easier: took the strap off the box, mounted the strap first and slid the silencer in place, tightened it up. Took half the time and much less effort.

The strap comes off the Bosal too - so fitting it would be the same as your Walker. See 251-960 in diagram.
