mk2 abf manifold, downpipe, exhaust or something, not sure...

Hello everybody!

We have a track mk2 golf with a 2.0l 16v abf engine.

We're trying to replace a cracked exhaust manifold (we're not going to weld it... again) and a cut downpipe (which incorporated a silencer - which is beyond repair) that was mated to a standard midsection then the rest of the exhaust.

We had a friend weld the absolute hell out of it. Pretty it wasn't but it held for quite a while.

Now we just want simple. We've looked around to try to find someone selling stuff off the shelf but the only exhausts we've found are so expensive (000's)

We want to replace the mid section for a stainless pipe and, for the manifold and downpipe, we are open to ideas.

Any ideas and where would we get the bits from?

Thanks for any ideas.
