well if you needed to get your rear exhaust done by then (unless you had a freak acident in chich case there are many diff situations...ur at fault or there at fault. if you had comprehensive cover or not) your car would be out of warranty and you wouldnt have to worry about aftermarket ones. due to the fact that going down to your local service centre you can get an exhaust system for alot cheaper than 344. especially if its nothing special and theres no real work involved.i.e. getting a resonator or sumthing special like a bog stock exhaust.
