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.

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.

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.

Thats not alot of money.
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.

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  |

Yep, but that'll only make it around £40-£45.

Actually, I think I know someone who works at eurocarparts. Might give him a bell in the morning.
