Saab 93 Exhaust.

Well the good news, apart from wiper blades and a bit of welding to the exhaust my car flew through its mot, however they have said that I will need a new exhaust before long, I have been quoted roughly £250 plus fitting, is this a good price or should I be going elsewhere?

Traci, shop around, phone a few different places and see what the average price is.

Thanks Tony, this is with the independent garage who looks after my car, don't want to go to any of the chains, but will do.

Exhaust prices vary hugely depending on make and size of car etc. The only way to know if this is a fair price is to ask for three quotes from three different suppliers.

Exhausts come in sections - you may not need a complete exhaust system. If that's a full exhaust from the downpipe from the engine all the way to the rear that sounds a good price.

Put in your reg and click exhaust parts you'll see what I mean.

When the time comes don't be afraid to ask them whether it needs a full or part system and to show you where it needs replacing - If they're staright up they'll be more than happy to do so

Thanks to all. Jake it is the full system, they showed it to hubby today when they had it on the ramps, mind you they told us the same thing last year, I will say though, it is quieter after the bit of welding they've done today, didn't notice the noise before.

Traci, regards the Exhaust, if you get is from a Exhaust Unit it will be Warranted, bye it from a scrap yard, the time it takes to remove it, take your own off & you might find that the used one has Internal Baffle problems ( More work & more FFFFFFFFFFFing from your OH, but as said, search around, but do not use K.F. Unless you want a new engine.
