need a s/s exhaust doing

[tiggy]

hi, i am looking for a cat back s/s exhaust making for my alfa spider, been on the isle of wight i don't have many options so wondered if anyone has had one made in the hampshire area who could recommend.
was looking at the quad system that is advertised on ebay think its jmi but they are 3 hours drive away in walsall so hope to find somewhere localer.

cheers tiggy

Have you done a search in the Gtv and Spider section? you might find more information in there. The back box fell off my Gtv a few months ago and I went to MIJ in Walsall (the people you are thinking of) to get it repaired.

If you're buying a bespoke system then they'd be good, if you're just having a little work done, look elsewhere, or make sure you haggle over the price.

thanks for reply, i want from the cat back system, looked at JMI who seem to have a good reputation its just with it been 3 hours away any problems would be expensive to sort out. there are already posts on the other forum but all the companys they have mentioned all seem to be in the midlands was just wondering if there was a more local company.

Again thxs for reply

Powerflow in totton did mine, very impressed, and nor too far from the ferry.

[tiggy]

thanks, what sort of price did they charge for your system and what did you have done?

[Marko Le Rosso]

Not on a GTV, but had a stainless stee system fitted to my 145 last year. I used Exhaust - Stainless Steel Car Exhaust Systems - Longlife Exhausts

[tiggy]

thanks, just sent the one in bridport an email. do you remember how much they charged?

[Marko Le Rosso]

£300 for the 145 exhaust, from the CAT back.

[Captain Slow]

245 quid for a stainless back box. I purchased a raggazon center section for 110 quid.

Any luck?

[tiggy]

Ok upto now, found a company in shanklin on the isle of wight who will do a cat back system with single backbox for £423 sent an email via the powerflow website to 2 garages one bridport and can't remember other but neither have responded.
Spoke to JMl (or is it midlands exhausts now?) in walsall who can do me a quad system cat back for £350 and if i want a sports cat added is another £150 so £500 all in.
Think i will save the money up and make the trip up there, just got to get wifey to understand why i want to spend (our) money on an exhaust thats 4-5 hours traveling. Maybe take her with me and pretend its a holiday

will let you know what happens.
