Author Topic: Exhaust issue (Read 2683 times)

Driving home today, I noticed my exhaust sounded very loud. When I checked it, the pipe is hanging off.

Any ideas on how much this is going to cost me, and best place to get it done?

I replaced my rear exhaust box for £57

I would ring around to find a local garage with a good reputation, ring a couple of places for quotes then take it to the one that has been recommended by friends /colleagues.
Don't get talked into and its needs x and y as well. Get the invoice to state the guarantee period from x date to y date.

Getting the old silencer off can be a faff on the driveway - I allow 45mins removal & fitting. Bosal are an established maker of exhausts the OE Honda parts runs around £120 but they should last 5/6 years

E Bay lists these to give you an idea,

ah, thanks. I kind of hoping that its just a clamp that holds it on or semthing,. as opposed to needing a whole new exhaust.

Best to take it to your fav mechanic - if its a clamp then 15mins to repair.
Best to fix rather than be pulled overe for noise
Let the forum know how you get on.

Hi all, ok, I went to a local independant, recommended Honda garage.

They replaced the exhaust back box, the rear section, and a sealing ring. Total cost (including VAT) £84.00.

Comes with a 2 year guarantee so all in all, it wasnt too painful.

Pleasant blokes too, seem to want to culitivate my business, and for now, they will have it.

Great , now you can take the Jazz for servicing ask them to quote and then check £ savings with Honda dealer.
Remember you can supply Honda parts and oil and just have the garage charge for labour - I've been doing this for 12 years.
