Another thing to consider is stainless steel clamps as you will then have many years of trouble free motoring as far as the exhaust is concerned.My stainless steel exhaust that I fitted to my es in 1982 lasted till 2006 before it needed attention because of the innards of the silencers were rattling.
The other advantage of a complete system is you can cut any clamps or pipes that are provimg difficult to remove. Good luck with rest of the jobs that need attention.

I take your point Gavin, but it isn't my car and the owner wants me to have a go at fixing what is there.
If the choice was mine I'd probably get a new stainless system now, which might well outlast the car - and me!
