New Exhaust
The tailpipes on my OEM exhaust are rusted and I would like to get a replacement but the budget is a bit tight so looking at around £150.
I was thinking of going stainless to help prevent rusting and have seen this Toyo Sport SS back box on offer for £153...

Any thoughts on it, or anyone got experience of it?
Cheers
Stuart

Re: New Exhaust
The pipe on ebay is for a mk1, the pipe in link2 is for a mk2, they are different, which do you need?

Re: New Exhaust
I recently picked up a brand new toyosport mk1 exhaust from the manufacturers through ebay by making them an offer of £140.
Sorry I can't post a link at the moment as I am mobile in Florence, search on ebay for it.

Re: New Exhaust
Unfortunately I couldn't make Brooklands, but I'm in no major rush so if anyone is near Wincanton and coming east towards Watford then please let me know.colintf wrote:When do you need it?beefio wrote:Near Watford so it's a 4 hour round trip which I just can't do unfortunately...

I'm now thinking of doing a MEMS3 retro fit which would mean I could use a mk2 manifold and back box...

Re: New Exhaust
So I ended up buying this MIJ stainless exhaust for £150 after reading good feedback about them and also as it has oval tail pipes which I really wanted...
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/272619808407
The only thing is they are custom made so I have no idea what the sound is like until it's fitted.
I've brought new bolts and gasket and was going to try and fit it myself, how easier are they to do? Any tips?
