   hi everyone, my middle part of my exhaust and backbox needs replacing as its badly rusted and theres quite a big hole in it.
   I got quoted 90 pound to replace the parts mentioned without labour cost should i do it or should i buy one elsewhere. They are a good garage and do a good job but would like peoples opinions on what to do.

   buy one off ebay if its standard, and fit it yourself, you can get a whole new exhaust for under 100 pound, fair do's the quality isnt exactly ferrari standard, but does the job
   
   if not try a scrappy, i got my backbox from there for a tenner, still had barcode sticker on it

   iv got a furio mate and yes they are, make sure youve got the right year as some have cats under the car and some are on the manifold.

    Be sure that if you need a downpipe that it is the same as your current one
    I've bought one and it's about 5mm too high
    Any idea how to get a down pipe lower?
    If so, then you won't have a problem !
