Hi 

 

New to the forum and this is my first post so go easy.

Back box is blowing and the car is going in for its mot on Tuesday. I took the car in  to have it replaced (Hawleys in Sheffield) and they say they can not get hold of one from any of there suppliers, but they did offer to make up a stainless system for £500 (which i can not afford at the moment).

 

The exhaust looks like its in one piece from a centre sleeve to the back box,up and over the rear axle. Thinking of cancelling the mot until i can source something, just lost as what to do next if anyone has any suggestions. I have been searching online but everything is out of stock.

 

I had this problem and ended up having to source an after market one from Europe (pre brexit so wasn’t an issue). 
 

Its a nightmare,really don`t want to butcher the system and put some universal back box on. I did see them on a Czechoslovakian website but they do not ship over here.

Scrappy.

I  got through the mot with just an advisory for a slight exhaust leak. After a lot of searching on the web i will be going for a custom stainless 304 system,it might be overkill on a car that has done 216,000 miles but the old girl still pulls strong as a train and i am aiming for 300,000 miles next with a little luck (touch wood).
