Hey, as this is my first ever post, i thought id be nice and give you a problem. recently the cat pipe has started blowing on my Mk 2 saxo VTR and after a (failed) attempt at fixing it, it is still blowing. took it to a trusted garage near me, and since ive tried to patch it up with exhaust wrap, and due to the size of the crack, a weld is out of the question. heres the problem. they quoted me a new cat at 249.50 inc fitting obv, but after doing some research ive found ones on the web (seems a trustworthy site?) for 69.91. now im slightly mechanically sound at normal jobs on the car, so if this cat is decent, should i save on the labour costs? what is also pursuading me this way is that im ready to order a full supersprint system (50mm pipe) and fitting kit when there back in stock, so would be under the car anyway.

heres the link http://www.cats2go.co.uk/Default.asp...ID=15&CartID=1

all advice welcome!! cheers!
