this is a long, long shot...
my rear silencer went yesturday and i took it off and it seems my exhaust is made up of 3 bodged peices.
im going to be welding and using a flexible exhaust joint at some point i guess, but if anyone has already gone before and can remember what bits they used for fabricating one up it might save alot of ball ache.
part numbers would be great - if improbable !
the engine in mines a 2.3 petrol - bs447 i think...
cheers,
Joe

i think that the engine code is B23, from the info that i have gathered from different sources the exaust is normaly made up from bits and peices, (made to work) this guy in sweden is very helpfull and still makes the convershion parts if needed, he speeks perfect english and is very helpfull. i am looking at this engine and the exaust needs some thinking about, i have seen some very nice ones but they had been made up from scratch and nicely tusked out of the way,

oh forgot to say those exausts that i have seen pics of, are compleate new ones from the manifold, which means big money i am afraid.
