I got a phonecall of Tilly last night asking if i had a spare exhaust for her GTE, i asked where it was blowing from.

Then said to go to an exhaust fitter and get them to put on ramps etc to see where damage was.

Got a phonecall today from her to say that it was the middle section and they wanted ?180 for this!

I rang a local place to me and they quoted ?59.99 fitted.

Rang Tilly back and told her to ring around a bit and see what they could do, Ended up with one for ?62.10.

Just goes to show what robbing bastards they are.

It wasnt as easy as that dicko. I'd completley blown the down pipe apart from the middle section. LOL
They tell me i will need a down pipe very soon but thats only ?40.
It must of been going for a while cause when i boot it now (which isnt often :lol: ) shes so much more responsive and it sounds like she has more grunt
