Another box ticked

Noooooo might mean more expensive trips to the garage.
When Andy checked my flat battery issues he spotted my diff bush looked a little tatty
I have bought a diff poly bush but it's not been fitted yet as it means a trip to the garage again.
More expense.
Good idea for those who can fix there car but could be expensive for us non mechanical people.

:racecar:
 
It will take a while but after a few hundred miles the exhaust will get quieter and less boomy (is that even a word :o ) as the soot builds up, I was surprised to see that your 2.8 has a single pipe most of the way where mine was a twin and made mine twice as expensive as it needed to be also I guess i'd have saved quite a bit more weight by just having the one though the old exhaust was so heavy it took 2 people to take it off the car!
 
My pre facelift 2.8 has the same exhaust system as a 1.9. When I bought my car it had a boy racer exhaust that made long journeys impossible to bear.

I bought a cheap cat back system off Ebay, think it only cost £130. It's not loud but it does have a nice tone to it.
 
Looks great i had a two box system done i wouldn't want it any louder its just a nice balance for me :thumbsup:

Mine has the 2 pipes coming from the engine then go in to the cat then into a small resonator, there was no splits or joins in the exhaust and it looked like a bigger back box to other 2.8 cars .. It also had the vacuum valve in the open position.. Don't get me wrong it sounds nice but I think it will sound better with the small resonator out.. But going to get it made with 2 flanges so if I want to put back on I can.

Very kind offer @Axelf feeling the warmth from further north of the UK your not the first in your part of the country.Oh only if I was closer.
Many thanks very generous offer.
 
Well I will see how it goes with the small box off ... Think it will be great but don't know about the drone when driving...........
 
Well had a look tonight and deffo no crack in the wheel... The diff bush has no play but looks crap so ordered the polyflex bush , hopefully it will be changed this week

Hi, when Gaz and Lee changed the diff bush on my Z, the difference was very noticeable. Gear changes were much smoother and the lag in changing had disappeared.
