Can anyone help me to locate a cheap source for a standard exhaust for a 1988 E30 Cabriolet? I need the system, not the manifold.

Thanks,

Jason.

P.S I am based in the Essex area.

There is a company based in Grays, Essex who seem to be constantly breaking E30s and other old school style cars and punting the bits on Ebay. Obviously if you turn up without them having to incur ebay / paypal costs you might get a deal. Search on E30 parts on the bay and look at ones however far Grays is from you if this catches your fancy, I would suggest.
If it ain't broke, fix it till it is
