Title: Need a rear exhaust section
Post by: mrtibbs on May 17, 2012, 09:58:18 PM: Hi guys
I looked under our new (to us) 2002 Jeep Cherokee KJ 3.7 Ltd today and found the rear box looking very shabby and the pipe looks as though it won't go on many more miles. Does anyone know of a supplier that doesn't charge the earth for a new exhaust, or better still anyone near Kettering, Northants that can fit one for a reasonable sum?
Thanks in advance

Keith

To be honest, I hadn't considered Kwik Fit, I will give them a go though.
Thanks

Post by: mrtibbs on May 18, 2012, 12:11:01 PM: I got a SS price of £345, so I figured that we would get a mild steel one for now :icon_winkle: I have had prices of £290, £185+VAT and £147.20 fitted and inc VAT, bet you can't guess where we are going on Monday to have a new exhaust fitted? :icon_biggrin:
The best price came from a local garage that we have used to do odd jobs on our cars and MOT them and I am amazed that he can beat the "big boys" on price, great deal I think.
Thanks for that advice chaps, great help.
