    I have this really annoying judder/vibration when taking off slowly in my car, most annoying in stop start town traffic when im in first gear a lot. Strange i only sorta noticed it whenever i had to get the exhaust flexi replaced. The exhaust place put on a shorter flexi than what originally...

    Hi I own a saab 93 vector sport 1.9 tid. Recently noticed that the front pipe is blowing at the flexi part and the local garage quoted £300 to fit a new one as the cat is part of it. I found on the net a front pipe only for £38 and it got me thinking as the cat is in good condition would it be...

    My zorst flexi has gone all sooty & generally black...... Should I chop it out & attempt to replace it with a stainless repair item/kit........ Or replace the complete section......? (It's not noisy.....Yet) ...... Anyone attempted this manoeuvre?

    Can anyone advise on a flexi pipe replacement on my 93 TTiD? Is it a whole section including cat or is it just a short section? As you can imagine its either £30 or £300. I'm going to take a punt and guess its the £300 option, just because that's the way things go.

  9. Classic Saab 9-3/GM900 (1994 - 2002)/Conv ( -2003)
    Anyone out there had to change the exhaust section with the flexi joint and cat? Kwik Fit want £420 to change it!! All that's gone is the flexible bit, the cat is fine, and I was wondering if there is a cheaper alternative possible, such as cutting out the flexi bit and welding in a solid pipe...

    My exhaust seems to be dipping around the front flexi pipe and catches on raised tarmac etc. should there be a support bracket somewhere around there as it seem to run from the front pipe and flexi through to the mid section unsupported and as the webbing is getting corroded (and scraped off) I...

    The mesh on the flexipipe under the car is wearing and the pipe is blowing. Does anyone know how much these are. Is it a simple case of pulling the pipe apart and re-inserting a new one?

    Hi-- I'd like to replace this with braided hose as discussed before. Trouble is, I need to complete the swap in a weekend, if possible, so I need to get this hose in advance. But, until I remove the old one, I don't know what I need to get! Catch 22! Can any kind person help me out with...

    The centre section of exhaust that has a flexible section is knackered on my '97 Aero. Is it worth getting a performance section, or just sticking with the standard item. I won't be spending much money on a full sports system or anything like that. The system on mine has the CAT as part of...
