Exhaust Problems - Overpriced Parts

Hi,

Hi,

Thanks for your help. I'm not that good with cars & I was wondering if I have to get a specific back box to fit the lacetti or will they modify the back box to fit the car?

 

Cheers

there is a backbox on ebay for 60 odd quid . they are easy to fit. a garage will probably charge 20 quid to fit.

if your buying 2nd hand , shake th silencer and if you hear rattling or a noise like there is sand inside then it will be no good. if the baffles have gone in your exhaust give the silencers a bang with your hand (not when its hot though ), you will hear the sounds i have described . also you can get a hollow sound when you bang them if the baffles have gone .just search for lacetti centre section (for the middle bit) and back box or rear silencer for the back. you can not fix the baffles you need to replace the part thats gone. most cars have 3 or 4 sections to the exhaust .the lacetti has 4 not including the manifold which is attached to the engine, 1st is the catalytic converter ,2nd front pipe ,3rd centre section and 4th back box.

looking for  certain cheap parts for cars like this exhaust takes time especially if you want to save a lot. An effort and time is a must to be delivered to find the perfect part.  Well, there is a universe of exhaust dealer out there you can buy out or ask some friends for help.
