Fitting a stainless steel exhaust

[Griffalo]

Hi

Has anyone fitted a Stainless Steel Exhaust from mijperformance?

My back box fell off a week ago (it is currently held in place with a tin can and lots of exhaust putty!!) and I have seen one on ebay from mij but I was wondering how difficult it is to fit.

I live in Poole so a factory fit is not that convenient. I have also looked into longlife - they have a workshop closer but still over 2 hours away and want to see the bongo first to give me a quote.

Thanks in advance.

I got a local garage to fit mine. AFAIK there was no problems at all, although they did not come with gaskets. It came with the standard tail pipe, which I have pimped a little

heres a picture of them:-



Been more than happy so far with the exhaust, and the service given by the company was brill.

Hi we had ours fitted at long-life in Leeds full system with a chunky tailpipe 275.00 all stainless steel lovely job,and they did not want to see it first.

brorabongo - out of interest how much did they charge to fit and was that including extra parts / gaskets / etc?

heatherpetch - I assume that was a longlife garage - I would have thought that if the one in Bridgwater could speak to the fitters you went to they would not need two visits - do you have their number?

cheers

Hi Griff the number is 01132 798944 yes it is longlife and life time gurantee.

That sounds cheap - not worth the hassel of doing it myself at that price. Did that include gaskets, etc and how long did they take? Now I just have to find one down here that will match that!

By the way are you happy with the exhaust system sent by mij?

Thanks for the link liggy but I have noticed that the flexi hose bit is also looking a bit tired so may as well go for the full replacement option.

Thanks heatherpetch, I will contact the fitters in Bridgewater to see if they can give me a quote without a visit and perhaps pass on that number to them.

Do you like your new exhaust? worth the money?

Cheers

Was not a big job, or specialist job at that, and gaskets were included. I just left my bongo at the garage in the morning and sometime in the afternoon it was dropped off. The mechanic would off worked on other cars during that time aswell. I am delighted with it so far, although there are rust spots discolouring, but whos looking underneath?

Hi

Got Mine Made At MIJ PERFORMANCE.COM A Year Ago Made To Measure While I Waited Brilliant Job By A Great Bunch Of Guys. If The Are Now Selling One Made Ring Them It Should Fit Perfectly The Hardest Bit Will Be Getting Yours Off From That First Flange. Or Just Go And Have A Day Out As They Make It Cat Back And Do Away With That Horrible First Box It Makes It A Lot Better System. They Used To Offer Your Fuel Costs But I Dont Know If They Still Can Afford To Pay For Gordon Browns Villa So Ring & Check

Hi everyone, yesterday went down to Leeds after booking in with Longlife Exhausts left Bongo with them for a couple of hours, they gave me a courtesy car so called in to see family in Adel. I cannot reccomend them enough, the staff take the time to explain, are very professional, and as a result have a great sounding Exhaust. I went for twin tail pipes/mild sport which is a bit louder than normal but hey that no bad thing. Cost £324 in total but never have to worry about it again. Mind you as the one fitted had been on for over 4 years I do think the standard exhaust's last well.
