  1. Ah, I know you! I drive past you everyday on my way to work! I only just managed to get off the hardgate when I finished work then got trapped for 10 minutes on willow bank road. I then got stranded on a roundabout on union Grove, 2 people required to push me. A hundred yards later, I got stuck approaching the roundabout in the drive, caused a massive hold up, but eventually 4 angry people pushed me free Haha! It wasn't then 45 just to get over the drive to bucksburn! Amazingly, I seen 3 other zeds on the drive this morning, I don't usually see any! I just had no grip on my falken 453s,whereas my old RE040s with no tread ate up the snow around Xmas! Did you go out at all today?
  2. Another brave soul out in the snow! I hope you didn't see me stuck on union Grove?! It took 4 people to push me out! How did you get on today? Cheers for the toot, got my eyes back on the road again!
  3. Thanks for your response mate. I did have a rattle caused by vibrations at the heat shields, bending the heat shields slightly was enough to solve this. I have another rattle somewhere around the centre of the car and it's only when I drive over rougher ground that I can hear it. Since the roads are so bad, that's pretty much every road I drive on! The garage talked about blasting it with a torch to bend the pipe, bit this won't stop the excessive movement and any future blows I would imagine. I guess I'll just have to get booked in again and see how it goes!
  4. Hey folks, Recently got a cobra cat back and y-pipe installed and had no issues. I then got a pair of cobra decats fitted which I only kept for a week because they were too loud! During that week, I did notice a rattle coming from around the centre of the car. This rattle continued when I swapped the cobra decats for an unbranded silenced decats. I've been back to the garage twice now but the rattle continues. The second time I went was because there was a significant blow coming from the front right decat and where the y-pipe meets the cat back. The blow was fixed but this proved to be only temporarily and I have a feeling this is being caused by the rattle. The garage told me there's no a lot they can do and is likely because if the lack of support from the decats. I'm not convinced and want this sorted out for good. I was going to suggest to the garage to take the exhaust off and start from scratch but was hoping others have had similar experiences and can share some advice. Not only is this annoying, it's also a bit embarrassing! Thanks

    Silenced Decats

    They came in a horsham developments box, covered in horsham development wrapping and tape, so I don't think so... i was referring to the ones that went for £70. they looked like japspeed And it was me that bought them for £82.50 delivered. I'm not sure if they were japspeed but they were certainly unbranded. I personally would have preferred to have went for these and paid a but extra because I've already been back to the garage twice since fitting as at first I had a rattle against the heat shield then a leak! I am by no means complaining against the seller in case anyone thinks I am as I knew they were cheap replacements, just letting people know you get what you pay for!
  6. Now sold. Mods - please close thread, thanks.
  7. I just removed my cobra decats after 200 miles with a set of silenced ones I bought off the forum. Paired with a cobra ypipe and back box, I genuinly damaged my hearing. For over a week now my hearing is all muffled and I have a major case of tinnitus! I absolutely loved the sound driving round town and it seriously turned heads. I actually liked the raspy tone the decats gave but I just couldn't live with the drone at motorway speeds, it gave me a headache after 10 minutes! The cheap silenced decats I got have just turned the car back to normal, its as if i've put the cats back in. I now have to drive with the window down to really enjoy the sound. In saying that, ive only done about 7 miles so far with the silenced decats so im sure the tone will change with time! For the record, I was charged 1.5 hours labour (£72) when replacing the cats and then an hours labour for changing the decats with silenced ones (£40 cash in hand!).
  8. Now sold, will be posted Monday/Tuesday. Mods please close, thanks.
