I've read it's best to replace all of it. If one bit goes the rest is likely to follow?OD Girls On TourBarcelona 2008 - Dublin 20090

Have a look at the link below for a guide on what you can get the parts alone for:

Exhaust Systems >> Citroen >> Saxo etc...
[EDIT] One thing, it is really worth getting a copy of the local paper and ringing around LOTS of garages and exhaust fitters - when I was getting prices for getting the back-box changed on my car I got quotes varying from £50 all the way upto £130!
And in typical sods law fashion after having it fitted, someone at work recommended a local garage that would have done it for a even less :-(0 -

The bit connected to the engine (manifold) tends to last the longest, the pipes and back-box underneath the car usually blow first. One of the "good guys" I've found were STS - had the back-box replaced as it failed inside the 2 year guarantee period, no quibble at all.0

I was hoping to get it done asap but not sure I can afford that right now. I have New Year planned 50 miles away - is it ok to drive that far with it? Once there I know someone who could patch it up (if that's all it needs). This will give me time to phone around as well.
Should the guys doing my MoT 3 weeks ago have spotted that? Would have been nice if they warned me.OD Girls On TourBarcelona 2008 - Dublin 20090 -

It depends on how bad it is. Just a hole should be ok (although illegal - sorry officer I didn't notice, it must have just happened) but if the pipe is cracked or hanging down, it is potentially very dangerous as the pipe can drop, dig into the road and try and 'pole-vault' the car, causing damage to the bodywork and a potential accident if it catches you by surprise.0
