Hi all,
I'm bagpuss22 and I am new to this forum.
Recently aquired a 2000 (X) 406 2.2 SRi and I am over the moon with it.
96K with a full Peugeot history and all the receipts, what a great car.
Question:
Rear Silencer, where is the best place to get these? £240 from Peugeot is
quite a bit if I have too!!!
Thanks.
Russ P.

Re: ANother newie
don't go to kwik-sh*t (over 5 attempts to get an exhaust fitted right) and don't go for the dirt cheap ones you can find online, else you'll end up with a badly-fitting pile of crap that'll melt your bumper, like mine did... 
<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang

Hello Bagpuss, welcome 
Dunno about the exhaust, last one I bought was a bosal one from my local indepentant place, but that was some time ago. I got a stainless system on my 406

A couple of the retailers I have been to have said "Peugeot ONLY" on this model
and as for "kwik*(*(&(" we all know how much they care about the work they do!

Welcome bagpuss!

They only came in that flavour for some reason (cobalt blue? I think?)
Eggsauce wise try and get a Bosal back box. If you state whre abouts you are hen maybe some of us can suggest a few places to try

Re: ANother newie
Hi all,
Thanks for the replies!
I am down in Hastings, and yep the car is a lovely metallic blue.
If I could fit a stainless exhaust for a similar price I would go for it but
everywhere I go seems to throw up the same problem, my car is not listed!
Anyway....
Bit of a story on buying this car as I managed to get if from "ebay" !
The car was based in Durham and so after lengthy conversation with the
owner and loads of photo's I took the train to Durham (£135!!!). I have to
admit it's one of the better cars I have owned.....
regards

Nicely fitted and looking sweet
