Hi All
My exhaust has just started to blow on my 04 JCW, I haven't been able to get underneath, but it appears to be close to the engine, possibly the flexi pipe, any suggestions which type of exhaust to replace it with, i.e. stainless sports which retains the cat ?
Thanks for your help

Keep the JCW from the cat-back and replace the manifold (Janspeed) with a detachable cat. Only replace the cat-back if you suspect one of the backboxes have gone or if you fancy a change (noise)

Hi thanks for the reply, the pipe has become detached from the cat, so requires a manifold to downpipe, it looks tight to get the out with the body heatshields in place

Fiddly but do able, you'll swear it's too big to fit though the gap then it'll just drop into place, janspeed with decats sound brill and pop and flame for fun, there's usually a few standard ones on eBay too if not.
