Best stainless exhause system

My exhaust has begun to crumble, despite it being only 3 years old [put on by the previous owner]
No doubt it was some cheapo thing to get it through the mot or something, but I think stainless is the way forward. Has anyone done any research on who does the best one for their money?
1.9 DG petrol btw ...
Many thanks

Heard rave reviews about JP Exhausts. They are custom made in house and they will fit it too! Thinking of going there myself.

A new merged system (4-2-1) might be available shortly, suitable for 2wd and Syncro 1.9 and 2.1 wbx..

early or late DG? (late has two hangers supporting your silencer....)
Mines an early - used the Speedshop system - really pleased. Do check out the detailed thread I had running on this very question...

I have a late 1.9DG and fitted the 'Speedshop' system - very pleased with it for the price (very easy to fit) and it accepts a Lambda probe - bit louder than the standard one but acceptable and hardly noticeable to me. The Push Rod protection covers had to be shortened by about 20/30mm on mine in order to re-fit them.

I have their system and given the improved options available now I would go to Brickwerks. That being said the JP system itself is fine but it's let down by the fasteners and clamps supplied with it, customer service is faultless though.
