Exhaust modify

[Stealth1]

Hi, Do anyone know where i can get the pipe work to the two bolt flange on the cat as i want to get a stylish looking back box for the car but the back box i want to get don't come with the extra pipe work. the one on the car now is a silly 2 part exhaust, one part is the cat and the rest is the rear of the car, non-detachable so its not possible to buy it in parts.
any ideas where i can get the pipe work for the "middle" section? im in the uk

Have you tried Boots?
Better yet, how about the Internet?

In the US you can buy a muffler you like then take it to an exhaust shop and have them fab up the parts between the flange on the front pipe to the muffler.

Doesn't that guy Leepu live by you? You could see if he can do it.

I did go into boots but they said the lipstick tubes would melt as the engine got hot, that got me confused.

i did go into a exhaust specialist and they told me it would cost more money in labour costs then it would to buy a original bmw exhaust.

The internet, of cause i looked there but i ain't going to pay £200 for a little bit of pipe work, didn't know if any of you guys had any quick ideas or CHEAP places i could look. maybe get someone to weld a scaffold pole in its place.

if not I'll just stick with original.

it shouldn't be too much labor to just have them chop the muffler off and weld a new one onto the original pipe

Seriously... Most people here will go for a Stromung or Ansa Sport or Stock Catback exhaust. Stromungs are loud, but Ansa Sport is mellow sounding. Both look cool. I got a Racing Dynamics exhaust on my car, It's a dead ringer for supersprint. But I don't think these are available anymore for the ti.

I didn't do the usual "what the community does", I did a custom DTM style muffler. Great sound and at highway cruising VERY quiet.
