Shocking exhaust prices.

[Robin Hodder]

   Thanks Geraint and others,

	Yup it's a fwd KV 5pot and i'm in northamptonshire.  I forgot about ECP and
have ordered from them, looking back thru my receipts I see that my present
mid box came from them in 1998 , so it has done fairly well, as you say
better than the Flick sh1t solution..

	As the cars a keeper I should really be looking at a custom stainless
system I guess..

	Cheers Rob.

you tried ECP?

I know they have a slightly iffy reputation compared
to GSF, but there we go

http://www.eurocarparts.com/

They are listing a front box for a 2.2 for 18 squids
plus the dreaded.
looks like a mickey mouse part, but then the front box
gets hot and
traps less moisture that the rear. might last a bit
longer than the
statutory 357 "Kwik Fit" "rot out from the inside"
disintegration period.
I assume that it's a 2wd 5pot coupé.

Where in the UK are you?
