850 T5 Tailpipe required
Eyup me darlin' ducks!
My dad's car, an 850 T5 Estate, needs a new tailpipe. Apparently just the 12"-18" long section at the very back, but his mechanic and himself are struggling to find any for sale. Have had a look and Scandix have some (https://www.skandix.de/en/search/?q=...tailpipe&k=479) but not the usual suspects PFS and ECP Know of any other decent sources? Thanks |

Original T5 tailpipes are like rocking horse poo. I went to my local exhaust fabricator and he welded a stainless steel tailpipe onto my original tailpipe

Thanks. will either of those fit anyway?
Dad's car is far from mint, but good mechanical condition, we're not too critical on what the tailpipe looks like. |

In that case, measure the OD of the pipe it's going to fit onto, add 1/8" or 3mm and buy a short piece the right length from ebay. Cut slits in one end, buy a "U" clamp and mate the three together. If you really want a bit of bling on the actual tip, buy a cheap chrome trim to slide over the end.

Rather than chrome which will rust why not get something in stainless steel

Hi, Try "every exhaust part." in the uk. They sell on ebay. I purchased a tail box for my 1998 V70 and very impressed with it.
