HELP!~Cheap exhaust mid-pipe in Vancouver?
Posted: May 27th, 2005, 7:49 pm
First off, my ride is 94' MX-3 RS...
I got an A'PEXi N1(N/A version) but the pipe before it is all rusted up, and exhaust gas is leaking through some rusted hole between the pipe and the muffler...it happened before that the muffler actually disconnected from the pipe due to the heavy rust a year ago, and i think it's time for me to replace the pipe...and the sound of exhaust is getting uncomfortably loud, along with poorer performance and wasting gas(and $$ too)...
I went to a garage I usually visit, they quoted $198 for some kind of bolt-on replacement pipe exactly for my car. I wonder if anyone knows anywhere cheaper that can get the job done. The thing is, my N1 muffler isn't bolt-on, so having the $198 bolt-on is a bit expensive if I'll be cutting the end off to weld the N1 muffler on...(or am I wrong about this fact?)
Looking through other posts regarding pipe sizes, I am thinking about 2" pipe(i think the N1 has 2.36" inlet), however 1.75" is ok too if the price is good...hope someone is able to help me out here...best if the price includes labour cost, to get an idea how much total it'll be...
Thanks for any recommendations!!
