standard gti exhaust is around £120 for the 3 bits you need..and fitting should be around £40...
if your calling around make sure they quote you on the twin back box as some Slow-fit places try sell the 1.8 back box (single) to make the price cheaper!!

I have a singel atm, maybe the last owner got mugged like this. Hmm its definetly something to think about. As i done hundreds of miles this weeked (spent £60 on fuel!) and my exhaust sounds worse with every mile.

theres nothin i want more than an awesome exhaust from the cat backwards, but i got lots of other bills to pay on it, so i can afford to sink lots into the exhaust, but it will fail the mot in april on this. So yeah, i need ideas really.

I was under the understanding that it had the twin steel box, and the 1.8 had the single.
