Default Exhaust help please

Having a bit of trouble trying to get someone to have a look at my exhaust . Took it to two exhaust places and as soon as they look at it they have both said it's before the turbo we won't touch it . Now is this a general problem or just me lol ?

They must mean the up pipe. its fiddly to get at and easy to break bolts so they prob dont want the hassle. Any performance specialists near you?

Less than an hour away is fb tuning from you. Not just a specialist but the capability to fix/make better and not just replace.

Parts and best advice/solutions from AS performance.

Two phone calls, job done

A local garage that knows what there doing should do it with ease. Mine is in atm as had a slight blow from what we thought was the exhaust, only to find out that the up pipe was rotten

I tried bells first because I know they make custom exhausts I was shocked when they didn't want to know . Think I need to sit down and do a little research cheers guys
