or just get a stainless steel performance one it will last longer and give you a nice exhaust note
mongoose or blueflame should see you well
i doubt you will actually get any performance from it but it will last longer as its stainless0 -
OH & I go to Bower Lane Tyres in Barming, & have been for many years. They do very good but cheap exhausts and tyres , all while you wait.
Number is 01622 687466. Might not be quite in your area, but maybe worth a try if you're stuck.

the cars got 130k and probably worth 2-3k so the plan is to run it for a year or two as cheap as possible then px it0 -

normally billions, they charged us £600 for a service and an MOT :mad::mad::mad:
my fault should have checked the price first
it does not appear to be the back box, there's a metallic rattle vibration (most noticeable at ideal) which is coming from the underside back of the engine, it sounds like a heat shield that's flapping about, so it may have to go in to toyota for investigation, mind you the exhaust sensors failed 2 years ago and they still need to be changed :rotfl:0 -

looks like the heat shield moving is fairly common problem, some pics here
