They dont have a cat do they?
So is it just a straight through pipe with baffle boxes?
Mine needs replaced, full thing from downpipe. Just looking at prices now.

Hmmmmm
The actual pipe & box section is fine its the hangers that have rotted through.
Looking on GSF now but its not very detailed.

Get rid of it Colin. You won't get anymore for it with a new exhaust on.

I welded one just the other day. Easy enough. The front and centre hangers always break. If your near south east ill do it free.
