Standard LCR Exhaust - How long did yours last?

[nutter_engineer]

My 55 plate LCR has done 38K and this morning when I started it up I thought the exhaust was partcularly noisy and sounded it had a hole in it. Once it got warmed up, it sounded a bit more normal. Had a look underneath today and the exhaust looks fairly rusty. I'm looking to keep my LCR standard and the thought of paying for a new standard exhaust scares me. Just wondering how long your LCR exhaust last till it fell apart.

When I had my Milltek fitted the car was about 4yrs old and had covered roughly 45,000 miles.
The back box was completely shagged.

Still all original, and on 71k.

Mines comming off soon as its falling apart and was also a MOT advisory at 65k and 5 years old. one of the hangers snapped off miles ago and i realised the previous owner has bodged it with a jubilee clip.

mines just over 3 and a half years old, done 23k and the bracket holding the backbox on has corroded away. the rest of it looks rusted to high heaven as well.

All is well though, as I am going to order a blueflame catback to replace it

How much is just the catback?

I might have mis heard, but the rumour was that blueflame had stopped making the oval pipe for the Mk 1 Leon.

I've tried to order one numerous times today but they never answer their bloody phone! arses'

Wish it was this much of a struggle to give my money away everytime I went to purchase something

 

[Rarpuc]

Approaching 82k and no problems,just passed MOT not bother aswell!

My LC is still on it's original and it's done 110k now, at the last MOT it was mentioned the exhaust bracket is a bit rusty and that is usually the bit the fails first.

My LCR is approaching 55k and still going strong...although that doesn't stop me from upgrading it !
