Rear silencer

[onlinebacon]

Afternoon!

Dreaded MoT day today, car's failed on the rear silencer blowing, does anyone know where I can get a cheap one? I'm struggling to find anything online!

Thanks in advance!

Alternatively, I was thinking of getting an aftermarket exhaust anyways, do you think it'd be worth getting the rear silencer removed instead? Cheaper and may sound a bit better

I looked all over for one for mine but ended up buying a genuine one,not cheap but you can see why they cost so much.[emoji51]

They are a big unit.  £200 from TPS

Bad times! I'm thinking of a universal back box, any experience with them at all?

If anyone else reads this, managed to source a second hand one with a one month warranty for 40 quid plus shipping off of a breaker site, so happy!

Not for years, but my experince with universal boxes is that they never fit properly, with the exit at an odd angle usually or needs major bodging to make it straight and not stick out too far

I did this with mine. Was short on cash when mine fell apart. Found a local stainless exhaust company to remove rear silencer and replace with 2.5" stainless pipe with a tailpipe welded on. Doesn't sound terrible at all, in fact just the opposite.

That's the thing, I thought it'd sound alright, there's already a silencer in the middle isn't there?

Yes, there's a centre silencer aswell. Its each to there own I suppose but I like the way mine sounds.

Ended up with a fairly cheap universal backbox, going to see what it sounds like, if it's rubbish I'll try to just see what a pipes like!

Can you pop a recording on here? My back box is also beginning to show signs of age so thinking of what to do! Especially as funds are low!

Again, a sound recording would be good to hear if you can!

Will try and pop one up in the next couple of days m8.
