A journey to the inlaws in Northern Ireland.Ferry from Stranraer.
Should have left at 6am this morning.Alarm didnt go off.Woke up at 6, left at 6.50.Stress number 1.
Pushing the Carly quite hard.....stress number 1 no more
!!
But,...pulling out to overtake a lorry, 3rd gear, slightly damp road, massive wheelspin(dear old carly has performed well recently!!
)...
5mins later, I sound like a tractor. A very old tractor. Pull in, as I thought the flexi hose has cracked. A new downpipe needed. The overrun noise was lovely (burbles and pops....richard burns here i come.....)I realise I should have stopped and towed the car away,but had to make the ferry, so continued. Not big,not clever, just hope I havent damaged anything by driving like this. (but the pops and splutters on overrun make up for any damage!!)
Now, I need a new downpipe.
Which one?
I fancy getting a cat bypass pipe while Im at it.
So a performance downpipe, and through pipe, this will be a different size to the back end of the exhaust?Can i do this,or do i need a new full system?Will a jt3inch downpipe and bypass fit onto the standard exhaust from cat back?
Options?
Cheers
