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

Got a link to GSF?
The JK rig is not stainless and seeing as this will be the third exhaust the van's had I would like to make it the last.

The GSF one isnt stainless either... he was just saying that h GFS do the same parts as JK...
There are a couple of stainless manufacturers.. JP and Bluebird.. but they aint cheap...

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

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.
