Peco exhausts?

[MGZRod]

Update: Went for a cybox S/S cat back off eBay, £210 brand new and looks decent! Arrived first thing at work yesterday morning:





I need a new exhaust for my car, and they are coming up cheaper than competition by a good £50>

From what i've been reading they are a lot better than they used to be. gone are the days of slapping tehm on novas and escorts etc etc.

My friend had one on a Corsa, ill fitting piece of st. Ended up wearing a hole in the fuel tank it rubbed against it so much. Peco dealer said thats how it's meant to sit.

As you said may be better now though

Seriously bad. Chav tat to the max.

[MGZRod]

Either that or a piper by the looks of it. Any views taken! Good to hear bad stuff to, when was that skene?

[retrorider]

Buy cheap buy twice...;)

[MGZRod]

Very true, Anyone had experiences of Piper? Heard good things about all their products, It would be a mild steel/SS cat back.

A quick youtubing suggests these are cheap, coarse, toneless tat. If volume is all you want, you might as well drill a hole in your downpipe.

[MGZRod]

It's already split in the join from midpipe to backbox, beyond welding, cheap rover tat. Just after something for the MOT that I won't mind having on the car. without spending a stupid amount or going custom.

Piper are mild steel aren't they?

His Peco was fitted just over 3 years ago Rod...

Thats just a combination of poor fitting and stupid friend. His exhaust was rubbing against the fuel tank so he... left it until it wore through.

I remember selling some of the bigbore 4 peco way back in my car parts days. Hopeless really and usually rusted to bits in 6 months. The stainless stuff seemed OK, I thought Peco had gone bust years ago?

Still trading by the looks of it.

Had a Peco badboy back in the day on the XR2, loved it

Of course, it fell off all the time often meaning I was driving along with it supported at the middle only seesawing away and bouncing off the road with a pretty shower of sparks. Also remember once whilst out and about having to tie it on with one of my shoelaces, which surprisingly worked well. The long term bodge was with steel wire.

Sounded good to my 19yr old ears and gave the car a lovely backfire when you came off the gas suddenly.

Didn't these come as standard fit on Nova SR's! Lovely sound on the one way system round town back in the day!

[petrolsniffer]

Try sportex they're a decent budget brand

[andy-xr]

Fit about as well as an Ashley, I'm sure a scaffold pipe would be easier to match and less hassle in the long run

[ShampooEfficient]

Have a look here - http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Eternalcar/Exhaust-pipes-... - had one fitted to my old Omega, for the price you can't fault it. Perfect welds on mine.

[aka_kerrly]

rubbish fit and rubbish sound - end of.

[MGZRod]

Anyone got recommendations for a mild steel/stainless cutback then for a sensible price?

Looking at piper, they say decent, get what you buy things. Just after a bit of fun whilst replacing the knackered standard unit.

Ah the Peco Big Bore

Them were the days.
