Missing: Has anyone seen this exhaust

[Dr_Insanity]

So I took my Astro for it's first MOT under new ownership this weekend, and apart from the things I knew about - a couple of busted bulbs, braking efficiency a bit off, there was something a little more surprising... Apparently half of my exhaust system has gone. Not as in it's fubar, but it's actually gone, as in not there!

Unsurprisingly, it's not a piece of pipe that most of your everyday stockists in this country would hold. Where do you guys get exhausts from? Do you recommend importing, or are there some local specialists who can knock something together?

Thanks,

Matt

Oh no, thats surprising, I wonder if someone pinched it. Someone pinched the one off my opel manta, but I guess that had more chance of fitting something else.

There has been a recent thread about exhausts. I brought my exhaust in from the States, but there are places that can custom make one to fit.

There will probably be a guy that makes custom exhausts or sections near Basingstoke. Best thing to do is ask a motor factors that sell the actual exhaust pipe as they should be able to give you a few contact numbers.

They should be able to match up a piece of pipe for you.

Found the replacement tailpipe for ?10 ish, with ?30 from the states on RockAuto Parts Catalog - has anyone else used these guys and are they any good? prices seem very cheap!

Rockauto? Yes, use them often and have nothing bad to say about them. Good luck.
