oh no need new exhaust!
 

What a bummer scooby failed mot! Hole in exhaust apparently need new system. Anyone know a good place to get one in kent?

I agree - it is a bummer. Sorry I can not help. I have joined here today to ask pretty much the same question!
My 1999 WRX STi V5 failed MOT in June this year and had a hole in exhaust repaired by a local garage that has now closed down. Sounds like the hole is back with a vengeance or I have a new hole. Likely I need a new exhaust rather than another patch up job. My scooby is always serviced by Power Engineering in Uxbridge and I know they can supply and fit new exhaust systems so I am going to ask them but I believe they supply only the best parts and charge accordingly so I would like to know any options I might have elsewhere.
I am in south west London/Surrey. Anywhere in or around London would suit me so that includes Kent.

There are plenty of 2nd hand exhausts about, which model do you have?

I'v got a newage exhaust going if you have a 2001+ full cat back 3" if it helps?... not far from kent

I have a 2003 back box with centre section.
PM me if needed.

Sorry guys! its a 1995 import wrx it has a full stainless system on it which i have been told is not detachable at back box , to be honest i havent had it over the pit to have a look will do tonight. Didnt think about second hand so if anyone has one let me no i am willing to travel resonable distance :)

Where are you? I have one on my V2 STI that I'm about to remove :)

Im curious on this one how do you get a hole in a stainless system are they not guarenteed for life

Everything rusts, even galvanised.

Lifetime guarantees tend to be only for the original purchaser, and not transferable.

Any form of carbon steel that attaches itself to stainless by whatever means will start to carrode.

But never the less T304 stainless is a common grade used in exhaust manufacture not the best but far better than carbon steel that older exhaust systems were made from.
I had a custom built back box from a company called auto performance in walsall costing £150 and very good quality too the number is 01922645646.

hope this helps
