Possible eBay bargain??
« on: May 24, 2015, 08:44:15 pm »
Just after some advice and opinions please. I found this exhaust on eBay which is ridiculously cheap and I'm wondering if it's too good to be true. I'm thinking of going stage 2 but I'm saving for a house so trying to keep costs down but every week I'm still finding things to do on the car.

That's extremely cheap I paid £225 just for my sports cat alone. Ignore @bigeyd just live in the car  :laugh:

Well 14 sold and 79,000 items sold at 99% positive feedback they seller must be doing something right!
Does seem silly cheap but if only needs a bit of fettling to get a decent fit and the 200 cell cat id what he says then could deffinately be a bargain here

yes that's how mine is. The pipe that connects after the cat steps down to 2.5 inch and bolts straight up to the original pipework. I will upload a few pics once my phone has been fixed tomorrow with any luck

Does this effect the sound/power of the car much?
