·I'm currently looking at getting at least part of my exhaust (rear section inc. backbox) replaced and as you know I can't exactly pop along to Kwik-Fit for it!
Instead of shelling out and waiting for some Jap kit to arrive, I've been investigating getting a custom section made, with a view to replacing the whole lot sometime. Trouble is I don't know how much I should be looking at. I've phoned 2 places that can make up stainless systems and without looking at the car one has quoted ~£170, the other nearer £300. I fully follow the theory that you get what you pay for but both these companies come with at least one good recommendation.
I have also considered getting the full system replaced by a good treated mild steel system, figuring that if it's significantly cheaper then I'd save money, especially as the place that can do this for me (with an impeccable rep) is much closer (1 mile as opposed to 30 odd).
I'm wondering how much have others paid for rear sections of exhaust, off-the-shelf Jap, UK or custom made?
