Title: Exhaust places in Swindon Post by: Samdy Gray on Sunday, February 3, 2008, 20:34:49 Anyone know of anywhere that's fairly cheap? The only places I can think of are Kwik Fit and Autospeed.
Bloody clamp on the exhaust broke this evening so the backbox took a bit of a battering. I've had the shittest day ever. Title: Exhaust places in Swindon Post by: yeo on Sunday, February 3, 2008, 20:42:47 Bells in Old Town are usually pretty cheap and will beat any quote for Kwik Fit etc I believe..
Or do it yourself but to be honest thats not really worth the hassle for the price of most back boxes .If you get a quote and it seems alot of money send me a PM, I know a few people in the trade who will do me a deal on the box,might be able to get it wacked on by one of the apprentices at work if needed.

Title: Exhaust places in Swindon Post by: Samdy Gray on Sunday, February 3, 2008, 20:46:39 I've looked online and found that the backbox should be about £35-£40. If the mid-pipe needs replaceing thats about £20, but I don't think it should need replacing.

Obviously you have to beware as the exhaust places will try and tell you you "need" more than what you actually do.If they do make sure they show you why. Title: Exhaust places in Swindon Post by: Samdy Gray on Sunday, February 3, 2008, 20:51:32 This is the system I found: http://www.buypartsby.co.uk/exhausts_details.php?recordID=2159

Title: Exhaust places in Swindon Post by: Samdy Gray on Sunday, February 3, 2008, 21:01:19 At least if Kwik Fit tell me it's £60 for the box I know I they're wrong and can tell them to get fucked 8)
Title: Exhaust places in Swindon Post by: yeo on Sunday, February 3, 2008, 21:02:16 Theres Vat on those prices though I expect?
Title: Exhaust places in Swindon Post by: Samdy Gray on Sunday, February 3, 2008, 21:02:58 Yep, but that'll only make it around £40-£45.
