Is Just Kampers the best place to get a complete exhaust unit for a 1.9 watercooled (1989). It's £269 on their site and I paid shed loads more than that to have one fitted 6 years ago.

I bought mine off GSF and I think they might be all from the same manufacturer
I'm told stainless is the way to go and they do seem to be coming down in price

er yeah
thanks tooanytoys I didn't make that clear at all
no not cheap agreed, but a longer life to be sure. it's that initial emptying of the bank balance that is the shocker

My last JK exhaust lasted a marvellous 2 and a half years.
Just fitted a JP Exhaust, sounds lovely, full stainless steel and the deal maker for me... A lifetime guarantee!
The initial outlay stung a bit, but I'll never have to pay for an exhaust again

From JP Exhausts in Macclesfield
http://www.jpexhausts.co.uk/
They do runs of them, so sometimes have them on the shelf, other times you have to wait a bit.
I paid approx £500 including carriage and that was for a 1.9DG. A lot of money, but it looks a top bit of kit. Bit louder than the standard pipes though.
