Re: NEWBIE alert
What about a stainless system built on to the car by the likes of powerflow etc? or get a 2litre one and adjust it to fitscummerlou wrote:Don't to sell, but a finding a new exhaust system is proving a nightmareZS wrote:Selling the V6 then?scummerlou wrote:hi, newbie here....been driving a coupe for 18 mths now, and liking it!!! not happy with the V6 round town, drinks fuel, but love it out on the roads . looking at a newer model as we speak, due to dodgy exhaust on current coupe :-(

Re: NEWBIE alert
have been quoted 134 for 2nd hand 2ltr exhaust, not sure how compatable they are ? from the net it looks like a different mid section is required.

Re: NEWBIE alert
Yeah, IIRC you need to cut the flange off the mid section, rotate it and then re-weld it back on... Any exhaust fabricators should be able to do that for youscummerlou wrote:have been quoted 134 for 2nd hand 2ltr exhaust, not sure how compatable they are ? from the net it looks like a different mid section is required.
