Just got a quote from a local auto shop for a magnaflow exhaust :shock:

£334.00 +17.5% vat. Why oh why do us brits get ripped off for everything???

I don't know Jimmy....neither did I know there was a magnaflow for the CRD?

I thought I'd buy some shock absorbers that go with my lift localy, I found some....108€ EACH :shock:

I can get the same ones for $19,99 in the US....

It's a magnaflow 15870 designed for the 3.7 but fits perfectly.But it's a bit dear for what it is.

Jimmy: you think this magnaflow will do any good on our cars? ( to get back on topic ) Maybe getting rid of the catalic converter will boost preformance at lower cost?

Brian: ( to get back of topic ) she just cannot stand frozen car windows and stuff like that so...and she's not a USA fanatic like I am...#52

Tony - Colorado's beautiful - you can get a house on the flat side looking at the mountains - 300 days of sunshine - yeah you'll get snow but it gets cleared in a day. (up in the mountains is different - but most of the jobs are in the Front Range)

post a note over in the Rockies section and ask for opinions/data -

(I was in Colorado for 3 years and if I could get a job there I'd go back)

know the story tony,been there

wouldnt it not pass road test if you remove the converter

tonycrd · **Posted:** Thu Jan 31, 2008 9:09 pm

Probably wouldn't pass the gas test. But maybe it does!

If we go we need to go to Denver ( he, I could see the Broncos game!), don't know if that's in the mountains?

The 15870 is not the full exhaust its just the back box and tail end section.But apparently it fits really easily .It wont free up the exhaust completley because its not the full system ,but people who have fitted them say that the engine seems more resonsive ,coasts better and doesn't sound too different fro stock.My days of exhausts that sound like the world is ending are over.A few owners on here have just removed the rear back box and put a 3" straight through pipe on ,or fitted a glasspack smaller rear box with good results. I would just like an easy option for myself as if you get it wrong making up your own design combination exhaust mpg and drivability can really suffer.But the cost is way to dear,Unless Tony crd would like to hold an Ebay auction for his cojones that his wife is going to remove is he gets a frankenlift to fund my exhaust.

No way. jose :lol:

And I just red a post on Rusty exhausts on the main forum, those are cheaper but I'm still wondering how much you'll get back for your investment. I'd rather have a nice bling bling something first. Like your bullbar.

:wink:
