Hi all
i need to replace teh back box on my exhaust, from what \i can gather by searching the internet the HPi has a different part (and more expensive)

Anyone advise?

Ah yes, 'twas many years back. At the time the exhaust for the HPi was a dealer only part, middle £110, back £240 (+ fitting), mine had gone right on the joint so needed both bits. Custom built stainless full system (CAT back) £350 from www.longlife.co.uk with a lifetime warranty. Guess which option I chose

OMG

240 for back . for my XUD its £34 for back

I went with a Powerflow exhaust for £350 (parts, labour, and VAT included, plus the free lifetime warranty) because all the quotes I'd been given from exhaust places for a mild steel replacement for my old 1.8 saloon were around the £450 mark.

For something that will rust through within a few years, I figured "stuff that" and went for the cheaper, rust-free solution.

Don't do what I did though - TELL YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY before you go and fit a stainless system. Make sure you know how much your premium will be affected, as it may be significant enough a difference to make you think twice. Bloody bastards.

Hi fella's
You were right, but lady luck must be on my side!
Tried 6 companies - nothing, some said parts next Wednesday ???
Went to Alan Campbell in Ladybank - a small local business - one call - part in 3pm today! (Good Friday in more ways than one)

Turns out it's the centre section and like yours Dai, the flange has gone the rest was ok
Best News - £100 fitted cash! plus a wee dram of course

May look at a stainless steel in time, seems like the best long term option.

Once again thanks for your help guys superb as usual

Have a great Bank Holiday weekend

Turns out I wasn't so lucky - the part came and was the wrong size
New one coming today - fingers crossed otherwise a welding job and a new one when I get back down south?
