Fred i have a whistle noise and so does the user Jezza Mc.
Both of us have MK1 Yozza's , is it this join thats causing them ?
Yes, but it's not the exhausts fault as it does it with all exhausts that have this join. It's Renaults shitty design of the cat.
This is on the to do list for the whistling yozza, any recommendations near Leeds?
F31 35d, Berlingo Na
I got mine sleeved at Fred's last year. Fantastic welding and fabricating of the steel pipe.
I'll grab a picture tomorrow because I'm jacking it up anyway

£10-20 for 1.5 hours work plus materials? Is that why he's only there for another 10 days?
He's an aquaintance of mine. He made my solid boost pipes on my last car for free.
Still, if you want to go and spend an extra £40-50 quid then so be it. Just trying to help and save OP money.
He's only there for 10 more days as he's opening his own place up rather than working for Longlife. He's one of the good ones btw
This!
Though i've gotta get my cat-fitting kit redone as mine is whistling again (should have got new exhaust mounts when i had it done as mine were fucked and i think its now fucked the fitting kit)
My Yozza does this too. Drives me nuts lol.

Guessing you cut both flanges off, weld on a bit of pipe then just use a sleeve joint over each end?

Think I'm going to try and pick up a second hand cat and give it a shot at modifying it myself Marc, will let you know how I get on when I get around to doing it!
Quick update: I had the work done today by Danmar exhausts in Orrell, Wigan.
It cost me £70 and I also had the centre silencer chopped out. He basically cut the olive join off the cat, welded a massive straight pipe between that and the end of the centre silencer! Not exactly what I wanted (as I won't be able to remove the cat, not that I wanted to...) but it definitely does the job and I'm pleased with the work. It certainly won't be blowing any time soon anyway!

The exhaust shouldnt need to be welded at all.
When Fred did mine, he chopped the olive join off my yozza, and welded some metal onto the Cat (chopped the end off the cat too), the sleeve is slightly larger than the yozza pipe, so it works without having to touch the exhaust really.
(or its done the other way, i cant remember, either way not much is changed).

I was having the centre silencer removed too so he just did it all in one.
Depends on the system. Piper and janspeed are easiest as they are sleeved as standard. I had to weld a new piece on a scorpion last week to achieve the same

Dan, is this the part on mine you needed to adjust last time I was there? Might get that done when I next come over.
Will be ringing in the next week to book in for the rear exhaust mounts anyway.
Any exhaust that still utilises the olive joint to connect cat to centre section most likely will whistle at some point.
So you actually weld a flange(?) to each end and bolt them together, rather than welding on a bit of pipe and using a connector so sleeve over each end.
Presume he can do either, mine was done with the latter
Fred fitted new exhaust mounts for me as part of a service yesterday and I have 0 whistling now
It's the cat that is the problem. A Milltek with a decat, or cat with the mod in this thread fitted would be fine.
Whats happened?
why what's happened??
depends what mood i'm in LOL, not a huge fan of sleeve joints, have done some with a sleeve it just depends what time of day it is, 6pm on a friday i want s**t done = sleeve
I didn't know you offered that kind of service :dapprove:should've come to me in the first place
