ben1191 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Bought a car and previous MOT advisary was about the exhaust,had a look underneath and the center box has a hole in it,although its not blowing and drives ok,was told these had 2 "skins".Got the car at a good price and a center box doesnt cost much,just wondered how long it had left at that condition? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vince_13 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Ive had a box that had a hole for 2 years (sounded mint on a 1.1 haha ) it eventually grew and in the end split and my back box dropped off(which made it sound better haha Just make sure that its secure so that if it does drop then it won't be left in the path of the car behind you 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
