Any old longlife exhaust place should be able to do it for you

An exhaust specialist rather than just a Kwik Fit.

It's just replacing a flexi, normal cars have them too :) Not a complex job so any competant exhaust place should be able to do it.

See http://www.imoc.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=151059 for example

I have the same exhaust as you...I bought a stainless flexi from ebay for £30 and got a local welder to do it for a score :thumleft: he tacked a couple of bars to the exhaust section so when the flexi was cut of, it retained it's form.

Hi, as Toxo says...I got mine sorted really cheap. I talked nicely to the boys and they said £30 so try some 'nice talking' and hope for the best! :D Good luck!
