The other day i tried to turn my type 85 CQ round in the road in a very tight space as i didn't fancy going down a very icey steep road.
Unfortunately due to the angle my car was at on the 'second' point of reversing, the tail of the exhaust knocked the bank before the bumper did , & it was a little rusty where the pipe enters the rear box and it snapped off.
so the rear silencer is now in the boot of my car. (sorry Matt)
Every cloud has a silver lining tho and i've put together £428 to buy a 'complete' custom auto craft exhaust system.. :mischeif:
I'm just wondering, is this the best way to spend £400? Or would the cash be better spent elsewhere? Either on another company's exhaust system, or do i save my pennys and simply swap the exhaust off my old CQ and spend the £400 (soon to be 500) on some 'other' performance engine mod?
Any ideas/opinions?
Anyway, heres the pipework in question:
