Mgf mot'd and back on the road!! Back box is blowing a bit so thinking of changing it, eBay has some new ones at 70 pounds, most garages want 180. Does anyone have any experience of cheap exhausts on eBay ? Or any advice on a cheap way of replacing a back box appreciated . Current box has rusted around where the strap wraps around, I assume a gum gum wrap repair wouldn't work?
Thanks, rich

If the car's a keeper, than the investment in a stainless system will more than pay for itself whilst you have the car - and you'll more than likely get a more enjoyable exhaust note into the bargain ie how the cars should have sounded in the first place  I've no experience of the lower cost units with either first hand experience or by reputation, but if you go down that route, just make certain it's the right one for your particular model (ie F's/TF's are different etc). |

I have the old box off TF hanging up in garage.
If you're prepared to collect, take it away for free

I replaced the exhaust on my TF 160 with a stainless Miltek Super Sport, with upswept DTM style tailpipes.
It's listed for an F only, and Brown & Gammons were insistent that it would'nt fit the TF, but I can assure you IT DOES !
I was inspired by Greyfox, who also had this type on his TF.
Looks and sounds great !
