Even if you buy replacement exhausts from the main dealer they still never last like the original.

You car is now a shade too old to bother, but for future reference if you shop about you can get a custom made stainless system made up and fitted for approx £300, and it comes with a lifetime warranty.

The previous Subaru exhaust was impossible to find aftermarket and main dealer price would have been some £1000, we got a full system made and fitted on site at MIJ exhausts Walsall for £299 all in, and with a lifetime warranty...for future reference ask for a quiet system (unless you want noise) and be prepared to be on site for a long time, possibly 6 or more if they are busy, so the town/cinema/whatever is the order of the day....otherwise a very well made exhaust and i will use them again, other stainless specialists quoted twice that price though no doubt there are other companies dotted about as good, unfortunately Northants and surrounds doesn't have the best selection of such car services.

I suspect they occasionally last the life of the car these days. Our 2000 petrol Focus 132,000miles, is original, although I paid a tenner to have a bracket welded back on 2 yrs ago. The Rimmer stainless steel exhaust I had fitted to my 1980 TR7 in 1992 (got fed up of replacing three year guarantee tailboxes every three years and two days) is still intact.
