Default ZT - CDTI exhaust woes

This week, I have replaced all the back brakes except back plates which were delivered yesterday and ready to fit this week, plus a rear wheel bearing (cap was missing and the inner bearing race seized itself to the shaft) I find that there are 3 decent sized holes in the rear silencer, plus the outer skin rotted years ago so at 19 years old and 150k miles it's not done too bad.
Has anyone found a good make that fits as it should, or can anyone personally recommend a decent stainless exhaust place around the Midlands?
I have had some stainless quotes but from places I don't know and when you read the reviews they were all bad.

Any help or guidance would be great.

Thanks, Steve


Just an add-on, I did strip the other rear bearing off to check that was okay, the grease was all dry and cake like, no wear on the races so I cleaned out all the bad grease then re-greased and refitted.

MIJ Exhaust, Pleck Road. Had a stainless back exhaust box fitted to the V6 in March. £195 fitted.. Going to have one fitted to the diesel later this year.

Thanks, I was going to have the lot done, well, from the cat back. I will give them a call.

If the slight increase in noise does not bother you, then for the one off price you will pay , for the cat back system , its a no brainer. You will save money in the long term and hassle free , is a big incentive. If done well and you dont mind a little extra noise ( it wont be as quiet as the original set up ) as marinabrian once remarked , it should outlive the life of the car . Fair comment.

As well a lot of other components we fit to these cars now, new back plates for example or the rear arms.
