MOT and exhaust issues

[pjeaton]

Hello All,

My MOT is due this month and it appears my exhaust has started blowing just at the wrong time :-(

I haven't actually got underneath the car for a look yet, but I have a couple of questions anyway:

Is there anything special about the Supra exhaust? It's a 1993 and I've had the car for 8 years and I'm still on the original exhaust (50,000 miles).

Is it stainless steel?

Can I buy the blowing part in a section, or do I need to buy the whole lot?

Can I take it into Kwik-fit and get it fixed? If not, where would be a good place, either local'ish to St Albans or Northamptonshire?

How much is it all going to cost me?

Is welding it advisable/worth it?

All thoughts appreciated!

Many Thanks,
Phillip Eaton

right mate.

it's not stainless steel if it's a standard exhaust.

three options for you:

first and cheapest option is to source a cheap replacement stock exhaust from on here if you can (not much if anything at all cost wise as no-one really wants them)

second option is to buy the replacement section from toyota (that's even if they'd sell you that section rather than the whole thing which i highly doubt)

third option is to get yourself a stainless steel cat back exhaust from one of the traders on here. you'll be able to get one from about £350 upwards but generally speaking you get what you pay for (most cost around the £500-£600 mark)
