Colin M Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Hello I'm shortly to acquire a 2004 legacy 3.0 auto saloon from my mum who is giving up driving at the age of 85. My dad had the car from about 6 months old but he died a few years back. It needs a new exhaust urgently but I don't want a noisy one and she's been quoted around £1200 for a Subaru one. I've seen that there are much cheaper after market ones e.g. Gerlach but they only seem to be for the estate models. Does anyone know a good place to get either a cheaper steel one for this car or a quiet stainless one? The car is currently in North Yorkshire near Skipton. I plan to keep it for many years, less than 50k on the clock at present but I'm a bit intimidated by the likely fuel consumption...is converting to lpg or to a manual gearbox a sensible consideration?

david1972 Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 You need to be doing big miles to make LPG worthwhile. Plenty of stainless exhaust specialists who will do you a full cat back system for under 500; Longlife for one Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizmo Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Forget LPG, as that seems to be going out of fashion. BP are removing LPG pumps from their own filling stations, and where they lead, others are bound to follow. Plenty of stainless steel exhaust manufacturers about.

tom_gr7 Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Yeah Longlife or powerflow will make you a stainless exhaust for about 500 quid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
