Greenmamba Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 My 2006 OB exhaust is blowing at the 'y' joint just before the last silencers. Anyone able to recommend a reliable garage or welder to repair, generally nearby Maidstone Kent? I've costed price of OEM parts (centre pipe and silencers, both would need replacing cause the flanges are shot and won't take unbolting) - comes to ridiculous £1100 plus fitting.

Jay762 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Is it worth contacting these people for a SS option? http://www.subaru4you.co.uk/exhaust/legacy.shtml#legacy0413ss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenmamba Posted October 21, 2016 Author Share Posted October 21, 2016 Thanks, appreciated. I was hoping for something a little less costly as the whole car only cost about 3x what these pipes would cost! It may come to that in the end though.

Mr B Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 These are good budget option, better than stuff we get from local motor factors at almost twice price, used them on foresters & old justy . Make an offer .I purchased a few SF & SG foz systems . http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Subaru-Outback-3-0-Subaru-Legacy-3-0R-24V-4x4-exhaust-system-silencer-3528-/321754044440 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 that is well worth a punt at that price! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr B Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 silencers don't sound sweetest (local factors no better though and twice price) but seem last well & is aluminised steel . Worked out good on older subarus as meant we could cost job cheaper than car value :-) and keep older cars affordable & on the road . Forester ones are about £60 to £70 . Just message them car reg be sure right and ask pipe diameter to be sure it not dropping size from oem, you'll get bit cheaper if do offer ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenmamba Posted October 21, 2016 Author Share Posted October 21, 2016 Mr B - thanks, appreciated. Much more affordable than what I've managed to source so far. I'll ping them my reg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
