Exhaust replacement with standard type chrome tail pipe

[JamesLewis]

Hello all,

Newbie here, just wanted some advice - recently bought an X reg 1.7. Exhaust back box has a hole and is blowing, so I need to fix this.

Looking for a new exhaust close to the standard look/type with the same chrome tailpipe etc. I visited Ford, they had a backbox for £96+vat and it did not have the chrome tail pipe, so it seemed a bit expensive!

I then ordered a back box and middle section from ebay, but back box seems cheap and nasty, doesn't have a chrome tail and the outlet looks awful, it's massive.

Has anyone any advice on replacing the exhaust with a standard type with the chrome tail pipe?

Thanks
James

Cherie went to Ford and got a Chrome sort of look one:

Or just get a tip from Halfords or something if you want it shiny k:

Has anyone tried this one from Pumabuild? I can't work out if it has a stainless/chrome end? In the picture the end is black??

probably a black painted end. it says the box is aluminised mild steel so I would doubt if they would put a stainless or chrome exit on it (especially not stainless)

I could be wrong though

I picked an after market back box and middle section up from Hall Green Spares in Birmingham for £40. Delivery is £9.99 if you're not in the midlands area.

i was quoted £180 for the chrome tipped exhaust from kwikfit which is only made from mild steel so i paid an extra £20 and had a custom stainless steel exhuast with lifetime quarantee which will never need changing ever again
