Was driving along yesterday and heard a scrape as i went over a pothole and though nothing of it. on return journey the exhaust note was getting louder and louder and louder. i know what it was as i have had this happen a few years back on another car.
the exhaust was so rotten the bump mustve spilt the exhaust. as its completely perished between the back of the cat and mid section (see below) - the scrape mustve been the mud flap being ripped off ¬_¬
my car is a phase 1 106 5 door with 1.4 petrol engine. i was wondering if an exhaust from a 1.6 106 gti will fit?
at the moment ive just tied the exhaust up to the under body so at least its not dragging on the road but still sounds like a boy racer lol.
the other option is buy new. someone is selling a whole exhaust brand including clamps, rubbers etc for £189. is it worth forking out on that? looks as if the whole exhaust is around the same age.
Or could someone recommend any where that could supply a new exhaust cheaper?
Thanks
Scott
