Cool Shiny, shiny exhaust from Tony Banks

Today I went down to Leeds to visit Tony Banks. He has fitted a very nice stainless exhaust that is all very shiny. His setup was all very efficient, professional and was all done within three hours.

The visit went well. I hopped onto a bus into Leeds to have a mooch around before returning to collect the car.

I never liked the old exhaust that was on the car. When I bought the car, I had to buy the the exhaust in a hurry to get the car through a MOT. It had a big ugly silencer that hung very low and the exhaust tips protruded and fouled the rear bumper. Although it was sold as a Rover 75 system, it would have been better suited to the MGZT. I decided at the last MOT that it would have to go because one of the silencer supports was breaking free and I reinforced it with a strip of builders band to keep me going. This bodge was very successful and there was still plenty of life in it.

I have no qualms about replacing it though. I have a lifetime guarantee on the new one, so I'll never need to worry about replacing it again. I think the cost at £250 before VAT was very reasonable for a full cat-back system with silencer in stainless steel.

The drive home was an effortless cruise up the motorway. The new exhaust is very quiet and discrete, hidden behind the bumper, as the Rover exhaust should be.

I am happy to recommend Tony Banks to anyone in the club who needs an exhaust. For those who want blingy tips he has a big range for you to choose.
