Exhaust probs :(

Stu just bite the bullet and get a new one made up, it wont cost that much, there arent many bends and its a simple layout. I bet you havent had a qoute? even if it costs ya a couple of hundred you still havent paid much for a vert have you!?

Thay Y piece looks a great deal like a hurley one I had before I knew any better.

 What I would do is tart to get together all the bits you need to make the system up from the down pipe back. (From your pics the down pipe looks pretty solid?)
 Back boxes can be had for about £20 from fleabay and stainless tube can be brought direct from a supplier.  Take all this to a fabrication shop WITH your old exhasut and ask them to weld all the new bits up to the same shape as the old one.  You may have to mess around a bit when it comes to fitting time, but I bet it works out pretty cheaply.

You could even go up to bosal on walton summit an buy just the box. Have a look in the yellow pages for mild steel tube suppliers and make your own exhaust if your on a really tight budget. The y-pipe could be made by slitting a pipe at an angle and welding it back together !

Urm, I had an exhaust made up for me and it wasn\'y cheap!! £550 but it was a while ago and by JP Exhausts in stainless.

I have also made an exhaust myself and in bits it was over £150 then i had to make it and its harder than it looks getting the angles right. I supose it would be a diffrent story if you did a single exit? But be carefull of cheep box\'s there usaly Very loud.

I know moneys tight but if you are looking at buying a new one the best deal i\'ve seen for a while on exhausts was the one Brett has just bought, Maybe an Option?

there is no way im gonan get an exhaust made up or try and do one myself - its just not in me to do that !

well i got the remains of the back boxes off - and the Y pipe is looking in very good nick ( just very slight surface rust )

the centre box looks solidly welded on aswell

i just need to get the down pipe shields off to see what its like under there

i might just throw on a pair of back boxes to be honest - if push comes to shove and i do need a full system - i just need one with no back boxes !! LOL

and spending 270 on an exhaust really isnt in my budget at this moment intime  - that would get me 1/2 a brand new roof !
