was sat outside maccy d's and herd a we rasp. went to mcconechys to see what was up. front y pipe is blowing from the fron flex joint £300 quid plus vat!
and its blowing from the y piece at the back between the 2 boxes. thats ok tho reson to get a stainless! but is 300 quid the going rate for a front y pipe?

Yeah dealer only part is the front section mate. Although i was quoted nearer £400 for it. Take it to an exhaust shop this is what everyone does when the flexi goes, it cost me £60 for a new flexi section supplied and fitted. Old one cut out new one welded in.

Dont worry about it mate, i know where your coming from though its just stressful. I let mine blow till i had time off work and got it done at simons in east kilbride, someone will come along and hopefully recomend some where to get it done nearer you.

just seems to be 1 thing after another, wifes just had about enough, and unfortunatly my pockets aint lined with gold i had a grand budget for all my mods. but seems repairs and servicing are gonna have to take center stage.

gonna way up the 2, turriff tyres - powerflow or simons exhausts. sure both will sort out my system. just go for the full stainless hog! and my repair, gonna prob be 500 quid lighter tho

I recommend Turriff Tyres had quite a few exhausts done with them! Had a quote from them for flexy and it was£80 my old man did it for £20 but he retired at Xmas

I've used RJM & sons in Glenrothes, they seemed very efficient and made a tidy job when adapting my Irmscher box.

They even painted the stainless section that they put on so it would match the irmy box

I went to the one in Glenrothes and they were about £400 more than turf Tyres for the same system and they told me they could only make it a tiny bit louder than standard! They quoted£600 for exhaust, £350 for down pipes and to replace the flex for Mot as a temp job £180 turf Tyres £620 including temp repair of flexi

i got a quote from simons exhausts just before xmas. and he was gonna do me a quad exhaust catback for 375. and if i wanted to get rid of the cat 450. he said he would replace it with a flex joint. think thats a good price like. but prob gonna keep ma cat cos the wife is worried its gonna break windaes we out it lol
