More pictures of the exhausts confirm a decent condition and repair was via a specialist exhaust company adding confidence.
Seems these don't come to the market that often so did not want to pass up and others seem to be flogging them at more like this price for a single box, will report back in a few weeks once fitted :thumb:
Nice one. You don't seem them too often so you should have lots of options. Might weren't so bad but once off the car a little more corrosion was obvious. I wasn't aware the the sticky flap. Much like you I had kept the car garaged and the boxes hadn't got much (if any) worse over that period so it was a job I kept putting off. Got peeved when OPC Swindon did a service and remarked the exhaust was 'broken'. I pointed out to be broken it needed to not be working (which is was) but then again I guess they wanted to sell me a lovely new one for £££. Tech that did the service was very complimentary other than that, said he saw quite a few terrible condition 996's over the years but less and less go to OPC's these days.
