They don't always modify exhausts, have you checked if its standard Ducato or not:thumb:

I went for a vortex exhaust systen. Full stainless steel plus extra silencer to make it quieter. The silencers are performance versions and the vortex unit is supposed to give better performance and economy. I get around 10% better economy and change down from 5th gear less.

Bare in mind it is a fully tig welded system custom built for the van, not an off the peg stainless steel system.

If you search the forum I did a thread about it, I am extremly satisfied with tje system. The system is not cheap but if you are planning keeping your van a few years it is well worth considering.

You would need to contact vortex. I have no connection with them I'm just a customer who is seriously impressed.
A lot of people think just because an exhaust system is sold as stainless steel it is good. There are a lot of rubbish stainless steel systems about.

True but £90 for a few years is to me better than £900

Not if it drops off while your in France. I also save £10 per tank and the cab is quieter, the drive is vastly improved making driving a lot more comfortable.
If you keep your van long enough the system pays for it self.
Money well spent.

Ive just worked out my savings since I had the system fitted by the mileage Ive driven and I have saved approximately £500.00 Although I my main reason for fitting the exhaust wasnt to save on the fuel its good to look back and see how much Ive saved. I used to struggle to do certain return trips on a tank of diesel but can get home without refilling.

I'm ok with my mpg
If my exhaust drops off France is the best place to be as it is LHD

You've obviously never tried to get a spare part in France. The Spanish are bad enough but the french take poor service to a new level.
Besides that I would rather spend my holidays relaxing rather than searching for a garage and alll the hassle involved.
Especially when you always happen to have things like this happen on a national holiday day.

It's not going to happen though is it
I'll replace it before that dib dib dib

The corrosion is always inside a welded joint and looks fine until you put a bit of pressure on it. So give it a good shake at each joint and you may get a surprise.

I would be very cautious about buying cheapo imported exhausts off eBay. There's usually a reason why there cheap.
