Hi All, I am a 1990, lhd, lwb, 9 str, pet, 2 ltr mitsubishi minibus imported
from Germany. I need either a complete exhaust pipe, a back end, (after the
cat converter) or the where-a-bouts of a flexible exhaust hose to assemble
and insert to replace a very old and very worn original. Any information
gratefully appreciated.

While we are it a rear bumper would be good as well.

Cheers

Mitzi.

Flexible is expensive and prone to quick breakage. Just take the van to your
local exhaust shop and have them bend up a replacement system. Make sure
that they use approx 1.2-1.35 mm wall tube. Some places use 1mm that rusts
out in 12-18 months (good for them, bad for you). Its also advisable, once
the the system is bent up and fits, and BEFORE its bolted back on the van,
to give it a coat or 2 of hi temp aluminised paint to stall the rust for a
while.
