Find a Panda in a quiet car park and have at it with your socket set.


Well, you did ask for the cheapest way

I had the same thought, but then I realised that the OP wants a new exhaust, so maybe better to find a Fiat dealer's car park and pick an unregistered one....

Have you tried euro car parts. Exhausts a simple to fit you can have the part delivered for free to your nearest garage.

The last time I needed an exhaust I was looking at the Bosal website at work. The exhaust was in 3 sections with 2 joints and 5 mounting points. I was googling the cheapest one. A colleague came and told me I was a lunatic fitting my own exhausts. He told me to phone around fast fit places. I phoned one that was cheaper fitted than I could buy the pipe for. I thought of economies of scale etc so went there. The bloke came out with a pipe muttering something like 'I get all the great jobs'. He then blowtorched the pipe and bent it a few times. After a few minutes he told me to pay. I asked to check it first. The whole pipe was hanging on by one clamp at the back. The old exhaust had massive silencers and the new one was tiny. We had a big argument in the office and then they took the pipe off and I drove off without an exhaust. I ended up buying my own pipe and fitting it properly.

Last time I replaced an exhaust (middle and back boxes on an Astra) the result was -

KwikFit £240
Halfords £180
Small indy place £120

£120 well spent!

Panda you say, Scrappage scheme special I bet?

Always a 10-reg one on the road on the way to work nearly every morning making full stops at dead roundabouts. Usually overtake it.

I would call round the local fast -fits, exhausts and tyres are what they do well and have the best discounts on for volume cars. Your local friendly indie sometimes finds the cost of the parts (Bosal/Viking/etc.) plus ramp time equals a not very competitive price.
