So I went on a impulse drive last night and pulling away from a stop what appeared to be quite a bad exhaust blow appeared. Limped back home and went to a garage this morning to get it up in the air and have a look at the situation. Turns out my cat is cracked by the turbo so fun times!
Advice would now be much appreciated on the next steps, obviously it needs replacing but which route I do not know
Currently got a blueflame suitcase delete with the middle silencer removed and one hell of a crack
It's either shell out for a full system with a sports cat but am I right in thinking I would need to go stage 2? Which opens up another can of worms as I'd have to buy a new clutch as well. I don't really wanna do this as I have every intention of saving my pennies to try and move to an edition 30 before I do any serious modding.
Or de cat but I would then need to install a silencer somewhere in the system as it would be way too loud for my liking as a daily driver
Or finally replace OEM but run the risk of it happening again, I know it may be unlikely but I'd only go used and I imagine it's the boost pressure from the remap that has caused the problem?
Cheers in advance someone please try and brighten up my other wise poxy day
