And yet another Exhaust question
« on: 03 January 2017, 15:42:31 »

simple question really, but bound to get  a few conflicting answers ( I hope)
As my health is crap, and have to rely on garages, is it best to get an exhaust supplied and fitted at my garage, taking into account the cock up they made last year of a rear ball joint, 3 hours? took them 3 chuffing days :-X OR go to an "exhaust" place, and just get them to do it, what would they do, just get a "genuine" part(s)

I was in your position last year, so got the exhaust from Poland and got my trusted mechanic to fit it. He said it was a doddle to fit, there are trusted places out there you know, you just have to look. :y

Last time I looked on e-bay[last week when I was looking for rear silencer prices]an eternal one was listed at just over £66 for a cat back system-including fittings-a back box alone was over £37 :o

this is what I mean. I just want some one to say you want this, and a serial number(s) and then I can just order it. I am the person who booked a flight 2 years ago, and even cocked that up, when putting my CC number in, it cost to change it :(
