S2 Exhaust Flexi Pipe

[DeanB]

Are these unique to Lotus or an MGF part?

I need one. Mine is cracked, and, as ever, the budget is stretched......

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks in advance...........

Dean, there must be loads in garages from upgrades. Try a wanted post on SELOC.

I seem to remember reading over on seloc that its is different from a mgf

At the risk of being flamed you could try UK lotus centre on 0121 561 5454. He did me a good deal when I needed a drive shaft.

 

Oh and if he does have one offer him 2/3 of what he asks. He expects a haggle !!

Thanks guys. The ebay link looked the most promising (brand new for £60 odd) but it is for an s1 and won't fit.

 

The oem one at Deroure is £198

 

Eliseshop have a stainless one for about £170 which seems decent, but I haven't got a spare £170!

 

May have to try and find a decent second hand one.

There were others on eBay search try Hill salvage

Up north second hand job .

Mine also went a couple of years back and I think I put a Janspeed flexi on which is a straight swap for OEM, PTP has them on their tinternet site,

 

I actualy got the same flexi cheaper from a Lotus specialist, will look for the invoice, might be an option.

 

Brook Kensington - with vat and delivery it was £140

 

STANDARD DOWNPIPE AND FLEX - STAINLESS STEEL SS999DP2 Elise MK2 £ 104.75

Thanks for your help guys - you have saved me a few quid again.

Uk lotus could help, but you never know with a second hand flexi so I went for a new stainless one. Brook kensington did me one for £156 inc vat and postage after I pleaded (genuine) poverty. Very decent of them too I thought.

 

Gav should fit it tomorrow.

I had this on my S1, for future reference there's a place called RSJ (I think it used to be called Mr Exhaust) in Wolverhampton who sold me a K-series one for about £52. Very nice they were too. And there's a cat who greets you when you turn up, but I think he may have been from somewhere else :-)

DeanB, did you manage to find a flexi downpipe?

 

I too, need a replacement.

[DeanB]

I did. I will dig out the receipt as I can't remember where from. It was a stainless one and was about £160.
