    If your not fitting it yourself and your not buying the parts from a factor for a friend to fit, give Kwik Fit a call and get a quote for the part and whole exhaust. This can either act as a baseline when you are calling round the local guys, or you might be surprised at how much they knock out high volume things like this.

    only the trade fit cheap exhausts made of balsa wood and a one year guarantee
    punters fit quality so the exhaust doesnt drive them crackers with the booming it makes

    Easy job to don't even need to jack car up to change, if you dont mind getting dirty/ ask a good friend.

    You've never tried get off the back box, from over the beam axle, after the clamp had rusted on for 8 years, and the centre pipe has siezed into the back pipe so you've had to chisel round it?
    Whilst lying on your back under a car you haven't jacked up?
  • maybe worth mentioning that its not a good idea NOT to jack it up, chock front wheels up whilst car is on level ground, jack up and axel stand the rear. there you will have access and room you need, rather than straining your kneck, not seeing what your doing properly.

    get exhaust paste and apply small bead, before slipping on the new on and tightening the clamp, ensures there no leaks in the joint.
