SS exhaust - recommendations please
So my downpipe needs replacing, so i thought what the heck, buy a full stainless steel system, the full shabang, manifold to tip. UK 5th gen 2.2vti auto.
Who has one, who can recommend a good dealer?
Just looking for easy fit straight out of the box, shiny durable goodness, not too loud, cheaper the better and more concerned with fuel economy than bhp/torq.
Thanks in advance

@nitin
Solid fabrications in South London? I'm in Manchester and with a downpipe that's almost ready for dropping off not sure I could make the trip, cost of juice, time to make it would mean needing to stop over there and a day or two off work. Or could he make and post one? I guess I'd have to call him and ask the question but he does have stunning reviews online.
@Lude-dude
Yeah i figured that with the egay ones, £180 for a catback including postage, tax etc from the states
As for the modified dc sports one, which one did you get and what sort of modification did it need?
@Merlin As for budget, I was hoping £500 would cover it.
As a side note, I think I need a separate decat pipe so I can put the cat back on for the mot although I've read there are ways around this - ecu remap to lower emissions? bribe a friendly mot guy?
And finally how do i edit my profile to show my location and add a picture?
Thanks

I have a solid fab manifold/downpipe which he made and sent out to me. It is very
but that cost your budget on it's own TBH.
The rest of mine is all Powerflow - They seem to vary (in quality) in terms of which dealer you go to, but in St Albans we were lucky enough to have one of the 'good' guys. Mine was £300, lifetime guarantee. That was about 8 or 9 years ago and it's still spot on, no issues whatsoever. Oh and fairly quiet around town, nice rasp at full chat

The PLM header I had from the states was pretty good. You'll need to notch your sub frame for clearance but may work with your budget. Mine worked out at around £300 delivered.
Cat back, my vote is for a used greddy evo2 if you can find it
