having a nightmare finding standard exhaust

[James D1]

as title suggests im having trouble sourcing a new exhaust. i only require a backbox but nowhere seems to have the correct one? and cheapest i been quoted (tried about 6 places only one quoted) is 120 quid for a backbox!!!!!

just wanna get it done so i can tidy and sell the car, unfortunatley i cant keep her =(

Don't think you'll find a 2nd hand one as most people cut them off when removing as the only way to get them off unless you drop the rear axle.

 

[James D1]

are they a one piece unit? if people are cutting them off im assuming its a hard job to fit the thing? i have an lc180 btw

 

[xDaNx]

Oh not sure about the Cupra but on my LCR it bolts to the cat in the middle of the car and from there it's 1 piece to the backbox.

Yes its a one piece unit, and needs to be cut to be removed.......Or the axle taken out.

Can't you get a cheep on off flee bay? You can get crappy uni ones for £40.

No, just no.


Whats actually up with your OP? Replacement stock eggsauces do seem t cost a small fortune. I could never work out why.

I have the same problem and I have a fr tdi

 

[cupraslayer]

No, just no.

I do agree with you , but no ones going to buy it without an exhaust . At least it will have something on there that hasn't cost a arm and leg.
Just a easy fix to get shot.

No, just no.

maybe a dumb question but what is OP?

thanks for all replies i will try and source a part and get it fitted. id prefer a genuine one as i would just get a piece of pipe a weld extension to length of car if i wanted this annoying low rpm hum!!!

I had exactly this problem when looking for a back box last month. The simple answer is that it is a dealer only part. I tried all the fast fit type places and they all said the same. I tried Online Automotive and although there is a part listed it does not fit. I know because I went to Online Automotive in Northampton to have it fitted and when they came to do it they said it was a different part. Mine is a 2003 facelift 1.8t AUQ that still had the original backbox on. In the end I bought a stainless cat back system as it was cheaper then an OEM backbox from Seat.

i had thought that myself as a friend of mine got a stainless catback for £230 (custom made). gotta make some descisions, not nice ones haha.

would do full system if i could keep the car but insurance has gone up over £700 so i cant afford to run my baby beastie

Wow £700 that makes me wince. Mine is £250 but I am an old fart at 33...

i would be happy with £700 haha. i meant its actually going up 700 to 2200 for no reason so new car it is. ideally a more economical one haha

If this post was up 5days ago I would have had a full system! Gone the scrapper now

Holy cow £2200?! I feel sorry for you young un's I really do.
