There is a b being broken on eBay by a breakers in Colchester and I am interested in buying the exhaust (CAT back) depending on the price. I have been in contact with the breaker and they seem to think that it has an after-market Stainless Steel exhaust but cannot be sure, is there anyone on the forum who is local and would be willing to pop along and take a look at the condition and confirm if it a decent after-market (DTR, remus etc)............

If not no worries I will continue saving for a new one but if so it would be handy.................

Not sure, I have copied the picture and zoomed in - looks like it could be a remus as both pipes are totally round and have no angle on the pipe, the FIAT pipes have slightly more space between the pipes and are slightly angled...........happy to be proved wrong though (my wife does this on the hour every hour!!)

Good news on the job front, make sure you pickup a decent camera for your travels in case you come across a 4x4 b in Africa!!

Seriously though, good luck - I hope its all you are wishing for!!

what would i be looking for, will there be a name on the exhaust some where?

chances that the car is still where the pic was taken are slim, usually in the mud with no wheels or stacked with no wheels by the time i get there.
did he give you a price?

This is true, its probably at the bottom of a stack of cars by now..........

There is usually a brand stamp on the exhaust box, the FIAT rear box is quite unique, it is a huge affair with a large box - the replacements are a lot slimmer with a standard looking silencer........this is the FIAT box.....
