seriously?

Thats the worst pile of shit ive ever seen.

a butchered stock system thats rotten and a scabby end can for 120 quid?

Even if you get it you will need to post it to somebody if you cant do it yourself to have those collars cut off and new ones welded on.

So your looking around 30 quid for postage to somebody plus parts and labour.

All in I reckon thats going to cost you over 200 quid.

This is only 10 quid, sure it needs and end-can but doesnt look as bad as that other one.

Personally if it were me id put up some adverts on here, for that kind of money you should be able to get a nice system that doesnt need faffing around with

If you've got a welder why not just weld it up yourself and save the 120 quid? Even if you just weld a bit of mild steel pipe on (it'll prob last for years) for now, I'm sure you could scavange some bits of old pipe from a garage or exhaust fitters?

yeah I was looking at adding some bits in but so much of it is rotten that there really isn't much there to save or work from. i haven't got the time to build a full system lol and with a mig welder it wouldn't be the neatest lol


Thanks for the link on that exhaust. For some reason the one posted was the only one i could find on the bay. Ive got a good endpipe
