Mk1 Exhaust Sections

Post by josh7 »

Hello!

I own a Ford Capri Mk1 1.6 Pinto (1972), and I am after both a rear exhaust section, and mid exhaust section.

Been scouring ebay for a new exhaust, although there doesn't seem to be a lot around for the mk1.

Any recommendations for where I can purchase these exhaust sections (or if anyone has them for sale themselves), would be much appreciated!

Cheers,

Josh

Have you thought about a custom made stainless steel system?

That is some sound advice, certainly something to consider. Heard some rumblings that custom stainless exhausts are on the pricy side though. Anyone have any previous experience?

Maybe contact your local centre https://www.longlife.co.uk/

My local centre in Devon did my old Honda CRX and my sons Audi A3 exhaust 4/5 years ago for just under £400 per car.

In theory you never need buy another, so any expense may be worth it?

For an exhaust that will last a lifetime, that sounds like a very reasonable investment.

I will look into LongLife exhausts and find my local centre.

Thanks very much for your help!
