New stainless exhaust on my 940
Yesterday I had my new stainless exhaust fitted on my 940 at Longlife in Bredbury/Stockport, the system is from the front pipe back, no cat because I'm running on LPG (so not required) two silencer boxes and twin tailpipes, because of my wife's illness I could not leave her, so Longlife very kindly came and collected the car at 9.15am and returned it job done at 2.30pm, I think they have done a excellent job and I'm very pleased with it, it is not loud in fact noise wise not a great deal of difference, I would recommend them to anyone, best of all its British and done by British craftsmen !
Total cost £479. |

That's a really good price, especially with "collect and return", as well as a really shiny system.
It makes me think about an LPG conversion for the Valdez, but I'd need to do the arithmetic on cost/fuel consumption.

Ball park figure is LPG is generally half or less the cost of normal unleaded. You'll get slightly less mpg on LPG but given the cost is less than half the price of unleaded, generally this isn't a problem and removing the cat usually restores that lost mpg plus a little more. Rough maths says if you use secondhand kit, total cost £450 and you currently spend £100/month on fuel, payback time will be ~9 months.

Wow David that looks like a brilliant bit of kit and a very good price too! I really need to get the welds redone on the stainless exhaust I bought as they're a bit pidgeon poo especially compared to those amazing looking welds!

Thanks Luke for your comments, I'm very pleased with it and like you say the price was not too bad, It took me a while to get my welding with the mig to a fair standard when I used to do jobs, never tried stainless though, this reminds me to put my mig up for sale as it never get used anymore. David.
