Stainless exhaust

[Al Housman]

It's time for a new exhaust for my syncro doka. It's got the AAZ conversion and, having just spent a couple of hours blowing more holes in the exhaust pipe than I repaired, I'm thinking that stainless may well be the way forward.

I've just had a conversation with a pleasant chap from MIJ exhausts in Walsall who will make and fit a full system in about 2 1/2 hours with lifetime warranty for about £300 inc vat.

Does anybody have experience of MIJ and their exhausts? Sounds a good deal if the quality is ok.

Cheers

Not bad but a full new standard exhaust set up inc J pipe (back box is a straight through system made by Eberspacher so good quality) Is well under £100 from GSF if I remember correctly and will last you over ten years. Depends how much you like shiny things but if you bought the GSF one you could off set the £200 against something else you always wanted

Thanks.That's a fair point. I have to admit that I didn't realise that a complete system was that reasonable. And of course it's likely to be a stock item,important given that I need the pickup for work. I'll investigate after the weekend.

Glad it was useful

Now what to spend the £200 I've saved on?!....... ( I wish!)

FYI.
GSF only do the early TD systems, they don't do the late systems.

IMO if you need a steel 'late' style system, you could do worse than get an Ernst one (Made in Germany). JK sell them. However they DON'T sell the iron sealing ring.

Phoned GSF. Only had silencer in stock-about £80!

Courier has just arrived with a new J pipe from BW. That's what you call service!
