I can supply complete stainless systems for manual and Auto trans options. There are options on bore size and tail pipes with what I build. All are made in the best quality 304 stainless and thick gauge so that they last

I did replace most of the system (except the downpipe) with NOS sections 4 years ago when I recommissoned the old girl (one of the silencers was a genuine Volvo one too!) but I noticed the link pipe between the silencers had a small hole so had to sort it for its MOT. I removed the rear section and got a good cup full of water out of the back box when I tipped it up, so I guess it collects in there and that explains why the one's I took off when I got her were rotten on the bottom but still had their stickers on as if they had just been fitted.

Anymore input is welcomed though please!
