Hi cosmic,

Just had same problem the flange holding tail-pipe broke clean off and garages wanted between £200-£300 to replace middle and rear section, this was down in the cotswolds last week, so I went to a local scrap-yard and took a decent middle box off a Mav and fitted myself for £20.00,I used my existing rear section, took me about 1hr total.

Been quoted £110 fully fitted by my m8 just for the middle,but there is some confusion!
He looked up the year of my motor and it seems i have the old exhaust system with two middle boxes and flange fittings either side,when that year should have one box and only one flange fitting at the front!
I was going to tackle this myself but looking at the flange bolts,think it may be better to get someone with the tools to do it!
Will keep looking around though :wink:
Never know,i may even phone Kwikfit!! :lol: :lol:

Ho again,

Mine has two boxes 1997 and no cat, the flange bolts are not to bad to undo after a squirt of WD40 and a 17mm socketand ring spanner, the flange nearest the front has a metal piece joining each bolt together so that they do not turn when trying to undo or replace.

exhuast replacement

When my exhuast goes I am going to have a stainless steel one made up. I have a stainless system - cat back on my Mini Cooper and a local firm did it & fitted it with lifetime warranty for less than the BMW part.

I use PD Gough based in Watnall in Nottinghamshire who advertise in some of the classic mags and they have done two previous systems for me and they are excellent and its a heavy guage stainless not these cheap tinfoil jobs that the likes of Halfords sell.

Added bonus is they sound brilliant and you can have a choice of sporty tail pipe finishes as well .You decide on what size drainpipe you want and they will build it !!
