RobD7 Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 Also, when do we get to see pics of it at ground level? Quote
TT Convert Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 like I said mine isnt off phil, dont want to undercut him or anything, but i Paid around £300 for it inc 'Y' Pipe Quote
RobD7 Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 like I said mine isnt off phil, dont want to undercut him or anything, but i Paid around £300 for it inc 'Y' Pipe Ah sorry I missed that bit when I read earlier - what's your exhaust and why did you go for it? Quote
TT Convert Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 as far as Im aware its the same 1 as phils, but alot cheaper. I did list a thread before with pics and desciptions and everybody agreed its the same one. Bought it off ebay( i know it was a chance, but it worked out good) Like I say , I havent gone on about it much as bigphil is a high respected member and i dont wana upset him, or make him feel Im trying to steel his buissness Quote
ab350z Posted June 28, 2008 Author Posted June 28, 2008 Update - hours driving later (with one bung out cos one is well and truly fudged in there, i fear i might have to Dremmel it out). Its loud, f*cking loud! You know its loud when the shopping trolley Corsa/Clio crew are breaking their necks to look at it and OAPs simply shake their heads. Really need that other bung out though. My ENGINE SERVICE SOON light has just come on. Coincidence or is this the same as engine warning light? Quote
TT Convert Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 I have never had any lights come on? BUT I DO SET A SUPED UP CORSA s alarm off evrytime I fire up the ZED Quote

TT Convert Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 Its a girl in my street , she has a new man, or should I say boy, Everytime I start it up the corsa's light go CRAZY , and he comes to the window, I just pretend I havent noticed :lol::lol: Quote
TT Convert Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 hey people look at this on ebay in america 320266135828 Quote
ab350z Posted June 28, 2008 Author Posted June 28, 2008 Any theories on how to get the bing out? Tried wedging a stanley kife blade in to get some give but no chance. Quote
TT Convert Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 carefull youll scratch it, 2 ways, 1 is soak in wd40 leave for half hour and try again. no 2 (if you dont intend on fitting them bk) screw 2 screws into them then you have something to grab with mold grips and give a good tug! Quote
ab350z Posted June 29, 2008 Author Posted June 29, 2008 Cracking write-up with photos too Ha sorry to disappoint, there was no chance I was managing it in my parents garage with a jack and two axle stands! Quote
ab350z Posted June 29, 2008 Author Posted June 29, 2008 No mate, soaked it in wd40, left it for an hour, had me and a mate tugging at it with pliers and wouldn't budge. think i'd pull the exhaust off before getting the bung out. i'll have another go today but its not looking promising for a clean operation, think i'll have to butcher it.

TT Convert Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 Buthcer the C**T, get it out at all cost,s if you decide you want them bk in (doubt it) you can buy the on ebay Quote
ab350z Posted June 29, 2008 Author Posted June 29, 2008 Thats my job for today, prob just get a hacksaw blade and cut a section out of it. Quote
drewbie Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 One of my bungs was well wedged in. Took Phil's mechanic over 1/2 an hour to get out. In end he attached mole grips and then hit mole grips with hammer - came out eventually, bit by bit. Phil was going to send me a replacement but still waiting. I hardly ever put it back as it's so tight. I have to hammer it in, then mole grip and hammer out. Mole grip and hammer works better than pulling as it's a sharper shock. it will come out bit by bit. took 20 whacks though. Quote
TT Convert Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 would be easier to fill it full of drill hole to weaken it then it will just fold up and out Quote
ab350z Posted June 29, 2008 Author Posted June 29, 2008 Haven't tried the mole grip, i'll give that a bash before butchering it completely then prob just file it down a bit for a looser fit. Quote
RobD7 Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 Forgive my stupidity but why are bungs even there? Is it just to control the noise? e.g. for a MOT??? Quote
GIXXERUK Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 Forgive my stupidity but why are bungs even there? Is it just to control the noise? e.g. for a MOT??? normally for both, the mot and reduce the noise level, they were originally used on bikes so that the same exhaust could be used for road and track Quote

Ekona Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 Nothing to do with the MOT at all, as there's no noise test involved. At least, not for cars. Quote
