Mot today on our 07 Active and I have an advisory!
Rusty back box, there is a slight hiss if you block up the tail pipe, so it's leaking a little as well.
The main pipe looks pretty flaky as well, so as the factory one hasn't done that well and a Kwik Fit tin foil one is out the question.
Anyone have one of these fitted?

our 2004 1.1 active , needed a back box after 4 years.. too many short journeys..,
so I just got one of the German ones from Ebay ( £26 delivered IIRC) , VIA Cheshire!
it's slightly louder ,but ABSOLUTELY identical to look at, and thats holding up OK,
no noticable gains or losses , but all done and fitted for less than £30 = ideal.

our forward pipe is pretty scabby but sound , and at 7 years old and 70K ,
I'm happy,
Charlie

Cheers Charlie,
I spotted the Ebay silencers from Germany, but dismissed them as baking foil!

Interesting to here your front pipe has lasted, though scabby, sounds the same as mine.

I heard back from MIJ, £254.99 for a custom made cat back system in stainless, built and fitted while I wait, life time guarantee.
That's not much more than buying the genuine Fiat items and fitting them myself (with a 4 minute guarantee)
Tempting, as a full hand built stainless for my Alfa Spider was near a grand!!

Meh, can't sit back and watch you trying to spend all that money! Why not try these guys?

My way of thinking is that these pattern systems don't last, just a waste of money, Bakofoil is better quality.
The genuine one lasted four years, I'd have hoped for another year, but it's only used as a short trip town car.

If I replace with a cheapo, I'll get 3 years or so for £250 ish fitted.
If I replace with genuine, I'll get 4 years or so for £250 ish plus fitting.
If I replace with a stainless, it'll last a life time, guaranteed. For £255 fitted.

The stainless on my Alfa has been on nearly 5 years and it looks as good as the day it when on, the factory fitted stainless on my Jag is 7 years old and flake free.

I've just convinced myself
No brainer really.

Not forgetting the stainless should be declared to insurance and needs to be inspected annually normally with the lifetime guarantees.
