Just a word of warning to you all really.
I have a pd130 with a CAT and just the backbox removed.
Went to In-N-Out saturday morning for my cars second MOT. (with the mufflerectomy system fitted). Had a phone call a hour later saying that the car has failed.
*No backbox fitted
*Car sounds louder than standard
I spoke to a few mechanics i know, each have driven the car and they couldnt believe it.
I went to the garage, asking to speak to the mechanic, as he approached, i knew he would be an ar*e so i started by shaking his hand, then went on to ask why he had failed my car. I told him that all the usual lack, i dont need a backbox... and the exhaust system is quiet. He wasnt having any of it got real sarcastic and unprofessional with me. (by this time my blood was boiling). I then went on to add how do you pass all these boy racer cars which have universal systems which are way over the top. He went on to add ''yes, but they sound like normal because they have a rear silencer'' haha. Then i went on to say ''if i put my standard system back on will you pass it'', he basically said, ah well that depends.
I couldnt see the point in any of this, it would cost them 45 minutes of their time to retest the vehicle for free.
Anyway... I thought bugger it... afterwards i took my car to another random garage and guess what... the car passed straight through no problems at all. I told them what had previously happened and they said that the guy who MOT'd before needs a good slap, the exhaust system is apsolutely acceptable.
(my friend had a MR2 with a 3'' system which would shake houses, and that passed the MOT every time).
So i am £50.00 down and the customer service was pants!
Dont get your car MOT'd and In n Out in bristol cribbs! I dont even think i stand a chance of claiming my money back either...
Long a** rant... over
