Thinking hard about replacing an aging system with a stainless one.Looked at Earl,Rimmers(15% discount just now) and CW.(supplies with fitting kit and still the cheapest-just) Is there any difference in them,do they all come from the same source,does no-one work" for pound notes " any more. Keeping in mind P & P charges,what are the preferences? Help please.Bill.

I've got a couple of spares for sale if you are interested though they are still on cars.

I prefer to use the CW ones, they fit first time

Bonus if they are cheaper too

I wouldn't normally 'name & shame' in public, and it's a long while ago now (11 or 12 years), but I had terrible problems with a stainless steel exhaust from Rimmers (in both material spec and profile) and was extremely unhappy with the way they handled this.

I haven't had an exhaust system from CW but trust his products above the others.

I have had a CW exhaust on mine for many years - probably 7 years - without problems. It's an auto exhaust fitted, which means we can drop the gearbox without having to take out the exhaust!!

After a couple of bad experiences with other suppliers I now only use CW for exhausts. Super quality and they actually fit.

The stuff Chris Witor sells, made by Pheonix, is good.
So good in fact that I bought a T2000 (mark one) sports box to use on my Dolomite

.

On a 2000 or 2500, in my experience, it is also worth investing in the Superflex exhaust hanger for the N/S back subframe that Chris sells.
