Exhaust - recommendations?

[kidsinister]

My C2 2.5 is going to need a new (ahem) "'zorst" soon. Actually it needs one now, but...

It currently has a standard 325i exhaust on (3-piece), any recommendations for a replacement gratefully received, also advice on where to get hold of them - Manchester area.

Off you go...

We are currently working on a new exhaust with a very reputable company (not BTB- who are excellent).

Just hang on for a little while or find a cheap 2nd hand exhaust in the mean time.

i've got a complete 320 exhaust going for free if that will do to tide you over for a couple of weeks?

its not too far from you neither in Huddersfield

The magic of Halfords Exhaust repair bandage is my temporary solution - hoping that will suffice for now (thanks anyway Simon).

It's having a new fuel tank fitted tomorrow, so all depends on what outargeous labour charges I get stuck with.

I'll keep my eye on the Zone shop for that, Mr. Pilot Sir.

M5pilot just wondered if you have any rough idea of when the system will be ready for sale? and how much cause my system is falling apart

[M5pilot]

Very quickly - I will know in 2 days.

Brilliant pay days looming...

Well, that failed miserably.

Incidentally, it seems to be a 2-piece job (which was 88> I believe...) does it matter (car is pre-facelift)?

Whats this exhaust then sal? Would it be worth getting over what you said yesterday if you decide to sell it on the shop?

[M5pilot]

Let me find out a bit more about these exhausts first. I dont even know what they are going to cost.

I'll probably test one out on a car, see what its like and sounds like and then get the opinions of a few people who are very analytical about these things.

Hopefully give you guys an update tommorrow.

If you're replacing the whole system (apart from the manifold), you can swap between 2 & 3 piece systems with no problems. The only thing to be aware of is that there are 2 sizes of manifold flange, so you need to make sure your front section will fit your manifold.
