Hi folks after getting my immobiliser by passed i now want to replace the exhaust from the cat back due to corrosion and hence can any one point me in the direction of an affordable system either in S/S or M/S i've looked at a few prices but don't want to break the bank given the current situation

Thanks

I'd normally recommend a custom system from a Powerflo outlet (Ant at ARO exhausts us my go to guy - great work and dirt cheap).
Not sure they're open at present.

Many thanks, i've looked at replacement OEM and there not that easy to obtain and also not cheap either. I was offered a cat back system by another company that had a good review on the forum but they wanted £950 + VAT + delivery and then i still need to get it fitted.

Unfortunately the car has done 153k so is never going to be worth a fortune. Spending out £1200 on an item that you cant see won't improve the car's value that much so its hard to justify given the current situation.

You'd probably get Ant to sort it for £600-800 fitted.

thanks guys , ive contacted both. I'm also going to keep a look out for a good 2nd hand system as i'd rather spend the money on getting the bodywork improved as that does tend to add value.
