Exhaust Rear Silencer

rstoughy · 22-04-2010, 12:56 PM

Have noticed that the rear silencer on my car has seen better days.

has a snapped flange and TBH looks pretty groggy round the welds etc.
Now my car has 60+K on it so for an original i think it has done not to bad.

Question now though,

Replace flange with new one and a little bit of welding on a pretty tatty rear box?

Pick up 2nd hand one from the likes of Ebay and take the chance it's better than what i have?

Buy one of these: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/M3-E46-BACK-BO...item4cecd5ff91

Never heard of them before (MTK) but have bought Scorpion's from Roadrunner in the past for previous RS's.

Not wanting to spend a fortune TBH as i was quite happy with the std set up but if i can go SS for only a couple of hundred quid more then i probably should.

Anyone know what they are like and if they are loud or not?
I have a track day coming up at Croft with a very strict noise limit of 95db so need to pass this.

Cheers,
