I have just cut off the rear silencer from my T5 as it has disintegrated! 29126

The car sounds lovely with it off but on the motorway its like 10 Howitzers going off so looking for a straight on replacement that will bolt on and muffle it SLIGHTLY and look a bit better poking out the back :biggrin:

Any suggestions please, something like a cherry bomb sound or similar pel-ease

(just spotted a Jetex system but its £600 simoleans) eeeek :c

I'm assuming you have a P1, from your avatar. I have the old one off my C70 you can have, if you have a S or V70 it may not go straight on as I think they're longer at the back, but it has a (rusty) clamp at the back, so it may be extendable. You'll need one of these as I had to cut the hanger off to get it out.

It's in reasonable nick, though obviously well used. The one on the right.

Cheers Stribo ahhh. Ive actually got a P1 and P2 and its the V70 estate that needs the box. I had a look under the C70 and its like yours. Otherwise I would have been down to B'stoke to grab it! Mind you I wonder with a bit of welding if that can be converted to fit the estate?

That doesn't help!! Which is it? The P1 V70 or the P2 V70?
