Hi,

 

My Scout is coming up to eleven yrs old. Two years ago the straight pipe connecting the DPF to the rest of the system fell off ! while we were moving at about 50 mph !

Didn't cause any damage and managed to get it replaced for £50.

 

I have been told by a number of people that the exhaust systems are long lasting, but it must be getting near replacement ?  A factory system, I believe, is silly money ! But I have been quoted £450 for a stainless system from DPF back.

 

Anyone had any experience of stainless systems ? Last car was a Subaru Forester which needed a new exhaust system after about six years, again factory system was even sillier money, so that got stainless with no problems.

 

Cheers,

 

Lloyd

My 2008 Scout is now on 178k miles and still on original exhaust. Front pipe snapped last year same as yours but my tame mechanic welded it back together for me and it's still going.
