Hi all. Just bought a 1998 Subaru Impreza 2-litre Sport (NON-turbo) with lots of goodies! Disaster - just failed MOT because "EXHAUST SYSTEM NOISE IS CLEARLY IN EXCESS OF THAT EMITTED BY A SIMILAR VEHICLE FITTED WITH A STANDARD SILENCER IN AVERAGE CONDITION [7.1.2b] (Apparently the exhaust fitted at the moment is a "straight through"??). The garage told me I will need a new complete full exhaust system including CAT which will cost me approx. £1200!!!!!!! Can anyone please give me some advice as to where I go from here and whether the £1200 quote was realistic or are they trying to rip me off ???!!! Anyway, hope that someone will take pity on me and give me some honest advice.
