basically im after a new exhaust system for my corsa gsi, now, ive heard of top gear in burnley but people at work have told me that they are 'cowboys' and 'bodgers'. someone told me that they took their car into topgear for a system to be put it, costin them summat like 3-400quid, and all they did was cut the original pipe off and weld a piece of pipe they had 'lying around' onto the pipe on the car and shoved a cheap tailpipe on the back. anyone heard anything about this, or has the info ive heard totally inaccurate? cheers, vxtech.

alot of members have had exhaust fitted by them and have had no problem
iain m has just had his engine conversion done by them and they did a great job so cant be that bad
i went up there on friday for a quote and they were very helpful and also very competitivley priced, watched them do a rover coupe at the time and it was a really tidy job

I won't go anywhere else! The boys are sound and the work is spot on. Going to get my car serviced by them too rather than Vauxhall as i know they will look after it and not charge for things they haven't done.

Myself and my mates have always had exhausts fitted by them, from the your average back boxes to the far more specific custom jobs......
Never had a problem with anything they've done and I can genuinely say that about at least a dozen different jobs! Top work lads keep it up!

Aiiii, the lad whos owns it built it. Its for sale if anyone wants it! 
EDIT: Just had another exhaust fitted on my other car, chuffed to bits, exactly what I wanted. It's quieter than the one that was on, fits perfectly and looks the business! Top work Lawrence!
