S40 cat trouble.

tinnyuk75 · May 2nd, 2016, 14:31

So part of my MOT fail was exhaust insecure. Couple of welds on a bracket. Exhaust place kindly did that as a Freeby but also told me the cat is away. £198:00 for a new one. Eeek I don't have that with the money MOT is costing already. Is that the right price or too much? I will fit one myself on the driveway and have seen them online at around £70.
Any ideas anyone?

Why don't you just gut the cat and weld it back up but make sure the seam is smooth and up the top facing the floor pan.
