PKAT Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 hiya My 4 year old 350 is blowing like a good 'un. THe dealer reckons he needs to replace not only the central bit (the bit that's doing an impression of a tractor) but also the back bit as he doesn't think he can separate it. Comments? Stainless steel do you think? Lin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmac Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Thankfully you have several options. Lots of owners on here have upgraded so you will be able to pick up a second hand one for a good price. If you want to upgrade Envy are doing a good price on a Nismo at the moment. There are also a lot of other good buys from the traders on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M13KYF Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 the pipe breaks as it joins the rear box. Known problem with age. Around 4 years. You can get it welded. Buy a second hand one of a member here. There will be a couple or buy a replacement aftermarket system. Scorpion is a good place to start in terms of price (cheaper then OEM). CS a trader here sells them. Their are plenty of other alternatives to suit taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PKAT Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 It all sounds great, but I don't know anyone around here really, so don't have a local mechanic type mate!! What do we think of magnaflow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I think one member got Kwik Fit to fit theirs. Where are you based. Members will recommend a good place to go to have the exhaust fitted in your area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andlid Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 fyi, getting two magnaflow end mufflers fitted later on today to my custom exhaust. The lads in the US like them, well priced and come with some sort of paper to warrant flow etc etc and 5k+hp ( ) Anyway mine went to loud and got them at a good price considering they need to weld them onto the stainless exhaust.
