Got a 5000K journey coming up, before I depart I want to a few things sorted.
I've managed a good deal on sorting my tires and brakes, but i'm not having any luck finding a cheap-ish exhaust mob. $900 - $1000 seems the range i've been quoted for a full exhaust replacement from exhaust manifold to tailpipe... still seems like a crappy deal to me.
Can anyone in Brisbane recommend a cheap exhaust installer/business? Although I want cheap I don't want shoddy, so if there's businesses to steer clear of let me know also

I think I paid $460 for a 2" system from the extractors back, including cat at Valley Mufflers. Extractors were a red hot deal from a fellow member

Yeah - i'll need extractors too. I had some spare extractors when I bought the car, but not the right clearances to suit a leafy 1990 Sierra (must be off a 1L or a coily Sierra maybe). Anyway I sold them a few weeks ago to a bloke who bought all my spares when I moved.
Might buy MPH's off ebay - they're $100 cheaper than most exhaust shops charge for a set of extractors, and i've heard nothing but good things. Brand doesn't matter to me, but quality has to be there.
I'll do what I can to keep it on the cheap, but I'm parking on the streets and don't have a shed or garage at the moment to tinker in.
