Rear Silencer

[Mart_in_MCR]

Good morning,

Noticed a blowing noise from the exhaust on Friday and unfortunately my back box has corroded leading to a whole forming.

I can obviously go down the route of sourcing an OEM rear silencer which will be the cheapest option however I also think it might be worth considering investing in a SS option. On my ZR I had the Xpower/Janspeed catback system and was really happy with it. From doing some reading it seems people on here either go for the Janspeed or Piper system? Are there any other option worth considering?

Cheers

How about custom exhausts like Powerflow?

I had a Janspeed catback on mine and it was very good.

I appear to have a random universal backbox welded onto mine....

Looking to change that in the near future, I'll probarly go Janspeed to be perfectly honest.

I have an unbranded stainless steel backbox for a MK2 Saloon in my shed... If you collect it you can have it

But, Alan looks like he is closer and can sort your issue out quickly for you

<edit> That backbox in my shed is now spoken for, sorry! </edit>

I hadn't really thought of a custom option, how do prices compare to off the shelf? I imagine more expensive?

Hi Alan, that's very kind of you! Is it for a Mark 1 or 2? I believe the Mark 2 ones are slightly longer to accommodate for the longer rear bumper?

Thanks Alan, in that case I believe it would be a bit short for the Mark 2 as the bumper extended further out?

I had a powerflow duplex made for my mk1, it's now on my mk2 and if you didn't knowyou wouldn't realise it's "too" short.
