New Exhaust System Cost?

[Guest Rockdoctor]

I looked under my Galaxy Mk2 2.3 petrol (always a bad idea) and noticed that the exhaust system had a lot of bubbly rust - I think the whole lot is going to need replacing within a year.

 

Can anyone tell me the bad news on what it's gonna cost me? Can the cat be rescued and reused, or is it an integral part of the whole thing?

 

I vaguely remember being stung

To be honest, I wouldn't worry too much until it starts blowing, or is advised on the MOT. I thought my back box was a bit rough, but they are double skinned and quite heavily made... it was several years later when a large section of the outer skin had rotted away before the box just started to weep.

 

IIRC, I paid around

Thanks, that's very reassuring.

Sounds like the whole thing could come in under
