E24 back box

My '89 635 needs a new back box.

I believe there was an exhaust specialist around Birmingham that made custom stainless systems.

Does anyone know their name?

 

Thanks Rob.

James S put me on to MIJ. Although there's a place just outside Newcastle they were asking £280 for a back box & £860 for the full system. When I spoke to MIJ their prices were £249/£549. A £300 saving was not to be sniffed at. The std BMW box alone was £700!

So I battled snow storms, road works & traffic on Friday to drive down to Walsall.

They gave me 10% discount for being a BMWCC member although there's a 2.5% surcharge for credit cards. It's probably cost me around £75 petrol so a pretty good result financially speaking.

I went for the quiet system & it's no louder than the standard although there is a little more resonance when opening the throttle. This is a feature of s/s v mild steel but it's by no means intrusive. Probably won't notice it after a couple of weeks. I also went for the std size 55mm pipes. There were some very nice alternatives but they were all 3"/75mm & that would have meant cutting the rear valance slightly. I've just had it refurbished so I've stayed stock. MIJ put a slash cut on the tail pipes so they look good. I believe I can still get the black chrome covers but they're about £20 each! Maybe smooth black Hammerite?

Now I just need to wash all the salt & muck off the Six!
