I went to Kwikfit to have a new cat back system fitted on my '91 745. The
rear silencer is fitted upside down and looks terrible. It took 3 visits to
get something done, which included driving back to get them to tighten up
the U clamps which they had forgotten to do etc. etc. and one more to
another Kwikfit to get an answer, which took a while to get. Hopefully
tomorrow they will get it right, when even more hopefully the new parts
arrive to try again.. What a company. Bright side is that the system cost
£80 to fit. But at what a cost in time, inconvenience etc. I've taken a few
shots with my camera just in case.....
Anyone else seen a Volvo 740 with the rear silencer having the S shaped
tailpipe at the top of the silencer at the back? Thought not, LOL.
BTW, first depot even blowtorched the new over axle bit to make it fit the
rear silencer - upside down.....
How much water do you think I could collect in the rear when it can't blow
out? couple of pints I reckon....

Not being judgemental or anything, but I'm not sure I entirely understand
the concept of going out of your way to own a high quality car, then going
to an exhaust outfit so renowned for their low quality products and general
lack of expertise in any form.

Why don't you order a decent exhaust system and make up for the price by
installing it yourself? It's really pretty simple, you only need a few basic
hand tools and some ramps.
