just dropped off.. yay!

Any pointers to watch out for when getting it fixed/replaced?

When ours first failed I got the four sections (ours had the winter pack) from Iezura (an eBay seller). Only problem was getting someone to fit it, normal National chains don't want to know and even a couple of local independents clearly didn't want to touch it. In the end I got the one section that was defective fitted for £20.00 by a mechanic doing a bit of moonlighting.

When one of the remaining three sections then failed, bearing in mind the above difficulty in getting it fitted, I stumbled across MIJ Performance in Walsall, their stainless systems were good value (about £220 at the time) and it was the same price either delivered or fitted. They'll do the back box for any 'loudness' you want (quiet, midsport, full sport etc) and it's a much lighter system than the original with only one silencer box. Ok, you have to drive to Walsall but there's a good chippy on the A454 just after you get off the M6.

Gazillions of miles later, I've no regrets

Or if you have an IKEA card then between 9.30am .. 11.00am a decent brekky at IKEA and as much 'free' .. tea ..coffee .. chocolate as you can drink ..

IKEA is only a few minutes from the Pleck Road / Rollingmills street .. just off junction 9 or 10 M6 ..

Hi

What, an IKEA exhaust?

Hi
...Nah...MIJ...I doubt the mechanic would have enough time to assemble a cardboard flat-pack exhaust!

Cheers everyone

I have ended up going down a bespoke stainless steel route, will be replacing the full 4 sections as first two (counting from the back) were knackered and the third was showing ominous non IKEA salvageable rust so decided to bite the bullet ..

Getting it done by a garage in St Annes on Monday so will miss the Sunday meet bah!

Bums. Surely you can just walk round to the meet - we'll make you a brew

Lol well, we will be at daughters swimming lesson first so in the vicinity.. we will be in the M&M (Fiat) so will see what the weather is like.. too much wind =Blown away Fiat 500

New exhaust fitted, looks very nice and bespoke .. cost £450! (eep), but better than the £600 I was quoted by ADS in Preston.

Really nice job done

Had mine done there two 4years ago great job n no problems
Well worth every penny
I was looked after really well coffee not bad either
