Hi all,
Not entirely sure what I'm asking here but just a research post really.
My G needs a new exhaust. It's got the original one on there and it's pretty rotten!
Want to keep it standard so just waiting on a price from VW. Is this the best way to go about buying a new one or can you just get a standard one made up from somewhere?
Also, although I want to keep it standard would you recommend getting a standard exhaust or would it be happier with something different?
All comments welcome!
Many thanks
Gemma

well if you go to somewhere like a Longlife dealer I'm sure they'll make you one up that is basically standard spec but nice stainless steel. I'd have thought it'd be more expensive than a standard system though so I'd wait and see what price that is first. I know Pete recently bought some standard exhaust bits (a back box section at least...) so he'll probably shed more light on this!

standard back boxes are about £140 and £70 for mid box i think

I got a patern (copy) no-brand back box for £80 off a mate in the trade. It's done 5k in 6 months and is OK. The supplier is somebody up in Newcastle, I can find out who if anybody is interested.

you can get pattern ones on ebay for £26+post in this country OK quality, dont expect anything that good though

Thanks guys :) Useful info ....
Trying to get as much as I can that is VW so will go with their option for around £200 fo the whole thing. I need to get it done soon as it's an embarrasment with either a rusty broken off tailpipe or a barry stick on one to cover it!
Just had to turn down a VW battery though as it was double other ones!
