Hey everyone i got a 2 1/2 inch cat back mandrel bend exhaust , Its been on the car and has only travel about 500 kms with it.
I took it back today, to get a tip put on it and also mentioned it has a rattle around 2500rpm, They have ordered a new muffler and im going back there saturday morning. But they said it could be my catalact converter has **** it and shoot **** into the muffler.If so that means there is no warranty on the muffler Can a cat just do that. I just wanted to get your opinions on this before/if i have to waste more money on it. regards Craig |

well the cat doesnt have a standard age where it goes it just goes whenever it wants to but the fact it went after u got the exhuast fitted is pretty dodge other ppl may disagree but worst comes to worst buy a highflow cat urself and just get em to fit it for free there gona be doing ur muffler anyway seems like a fair deal
