I snapped my exhaust.... ??

[Bloodyaussie]

Went out to do a small shake down and just get out of the house and on my return home I noticed a noise but could not pick it, I then had to brake hard as I nearly missed a turn and as I went to go back on the power the car sounded like a tractor.....

Limped home 30km and then started the process of figuring out how bad it was and could I get out of it on the cheap, I have decided to go with a full system at 2.5 for $1000 using my old CAT including labor.

Cant be done till Saturday so I will spend the last couple of days from my holiday at home???

Bloody bugger, my daughters birthday on Friday and now I have to stuff around so I have a car for the day!!!!!!

At $1000 you're getting ripped... I got my 2.5" exhaust made and installed for $600
Just remember, it's a commercial vehicle on LPG so does not require a cat cobvertor

Unless you're getting extractors a that cost too then you're doing well

[Bloodyaussie]

Full system mate from front to back!!!!!!!!!!

[Winnie]

So yes that includes extractors?

Did you get to test the new winch out man, bugger sorry to here that if you need a hand I am only a msg away man even if you just want that man cuddle.

[Bloodyaussie]

I need a fricking car as my wife has her bosses over from China and it is going to be to hard to drive her to work and drop off kids....... looks like she is out of a job sooner than she thought!!!!!!!!

[krbrooking]

Far out man sorry to here that, if I had a spare car I would not hesitate to lend it to you, if there is anything else you need let me know.

[Bloodyaussie]

Yeah be here early Saturday Morning so the boss can get some satisfaction ??????

Jonathan is have a stock GQ exhaust sitting in my shed doing nothing, it's yours if you want it. It came off my car when I put the new one on so should fit yours no problem at all!! I can take it to Work with me in Warragul so it's a bit closer for you?
I completely forgot I had this!

dosnt matter what its of so long as it fits and quiet

[krbrooking]

do you mean the exhaust is getting there on sat morn or do you want me to come down to yours early sat, if the latter let me know what time you want me there.

[threedogs]

yo BA where did your exhaust break? gota theory on these.

[Bloodyaussie]

No all good guys and thanks for the offers.

It is booked in and will be done right the first time with no patch jobs on Saturday morning.

I liked my car being quiet but did want that bit more power and maybe a touch better on fuel... we'll see!!

[threedogs]

yeah but where did it crack/ break??

[Winnie]

Honestly you won't notice a difference in power and economy... I didn't anyway

[Bloodyaussie]

It snapped below the headers just after the bend as it heads for the back of the car... bloke I said he has seen a number of GQ's snap there??

I have another donor car here but the system on that is in the same condition as mine and I am not going through all the trouble of taking off both systems then installing one on to my car and having it do the same thing in the near future.

[threedogs]

mine did the same in under one year. go figure

[BigRAWesty]

Does it have a flex joint on it??

Wow, it must have been thin to snap off like that......my brakes aren't that good....

[Bloodyaussie]

Factory system that is covered in heat shield which hides how old and rusted the system actually is.... eventually we all get old and rust, right John!!!!
