Are replacement exhausts becoming difficult to get?

Post by p in phcas »

It's been nearly 5 years since I had to replace my backbox. It's finally succumbed to British winters and now it's time to get a new one. It seems the GSF are the only one to list, but at £70 - prices seen to have rocketed. ECP don't even mention exhausts in any size or shape for mime. Are consumables like exhausts becoming rarer as manufacturers stop product for 'older cars'?

What other suppliers might do them? I'm not looking for tuned/Jetex options - just a backbox that won't go brown and crumbly as soon as it's unwrapped!

I got mine for under £50 by just taking it to Motosave.
