Scotia - Have you tried C+C custom exhausts in hillington?

These guys are Good, not the RS but I had my ST220 flexi replaced there before, and I'll be taking the RS in soon as I need some sleeves made up for Milltek backboxes, they are good and know what they're doing, worth a visit to ask

Cheers chaps
its one of those jobs that looks like it should be easy but a real pain in the arse like a lot of things on these cars

Just had both mine done and the garage said straight away that they could be replaced in situ so not necessary to upset anything. I used a place in Darlington so no good for you though, this was my post.

Yes, let us know how you get on mate

Well I just got them done today , had to go somewhere local as just not got the time to go further afield at the minute.

Well the exhaust blowing has stopped but the flexi seems to make a bit of a whistling noise at full throttle . Any thoughts as to why it would be doing that?

Sounds like a weld isnt sealing , or one or both of the flexi's could be leaking. They have matched the size of the originals or bigger haven't they ? . A restriction could also whistle I guess

Wee update managed to get both Flexis replaced by C&C custom stainless exhausts in hillington Glasgow £288 very happy no need for engine removal , big thanks to foxmeister for recommending them , anyhow put it through mot failed on suspension bushes got that sorted drove home yesterday gave it a good 50 mile drive parked up in drive and found big oil puddle under car this morning black and could smell the fuel from it so it’s engine oil and it’s a big leak any pointers would be appreciated guys .
