Found dual exit exhuast from Accord at breakers

[valkia]

So i've been looking around for a dual exit exhaust. This one needs a good clean and I've been talking to my local fabricator and he says it will be able to fit, even if it needs a tad bit of welding. Apparently it was custom made for a 2.2 diesel and they'll let it go for £100 which is very tempting due to pricing being in the £450+ range for a new one. Any advice or anything to look out for before I go ahead and purchase? It's only £100 so if it does come down to be being terrible, I can get over that without it being too costly.

looks good to me mate. Like you said only £100 so not a massive loss worst case

Looks like a real bargin...but try to see what grade steel its made from and any rust spots etc...

 

[shab_the_man]

Is yours a petrol model?

 

[bacardi]

[Accord-Brit]

Yeah, I'm going to thoroughly check it over for anything that could be rusting and damage. Will take the guy who will fit it also so i'll have a second opinion too.

Is yours a petrol model?

Yeah, 2.0L petrol

They are made from stainless steel so should be fine.

Wow! That's loud ain't it. Wicked B) .

 

[shab_the_man]

Wow nice sound pal. Looks very nice too. So did you go for the one from the breakers yard?

 

[valkia]

I did indeed. Polished it up a bit, the guy had to cut sections down in order to fit properly. Had my eibachs fitted to.

 

[shab_the_man]

Get some pics up dude. I want to see how it sits.

Looks very nice indeed. Do like the type s wheels. Sits perfect pal.
How does the exhaust sound now its been driven a little?

Wow, that looks very nice. Sounds great too, but a little loud for my liking I do like the rasp but can imagine this being quite noisey when cruising. Let us know how it sounds now that it has been worn in.
