AHHHHH!!! Stainless steel exhaust in East Sussex!!!

Post by HappyHooligan » Sat Feb 19, 2011 1:02 pm

Hello again all,
My problem is getting my exhaust sorted. Is there anywhere not too far from me that does stainless steel exhausts? I did contact the next nearest Powerflow franchise (who sounded a lot more professional) but they are in Redhill and the cost went up to £565!

Pleeeeeeeeeeease help!!!

Looks like I was a naughty boy :evil: and named and shamed the company I was having trouble with, sorry about that!!!
Anyway my original post was about a Powerflow system which I was quoted £430, the company I chose which was the closest to me couldn't deliver the goods due to lack of brain cells so now I'm looking at another Powerflow franchise in Redhill which is a little bit further away from Eastbourne (where I am) and a little more expensive but hopefully a lot more professional?
I just wanted to know if there are any other places near or any other options for a good stainless steel exhaust?
I have since been on eBay and sent this guy an email... http://tonybanks.co.uk. The exhaust gets sent to me and I get my mechanic to fit it. Has anyone dealt with this guy or purchased an exhaust from him?

Any advice appreciated guys,
Thanks :)

I bought a stainless exhaust from them and fitted it myself, it's an excellent bit of kit.

Well I ended up phoning the guy off eBay who forwarded me to Lifelong Exhausts in Ashford. It was a bit of a trek but Matt who owns the place was very professional and they got it done in just over 3 hours. £400 from the cat back inc choice of tailpipe and lifetime guarantee, it looks and sounds great.
