Where to buy a standard exhaust?

Can anyone suggest a supplier for a standard exhaust for my late model Sportline GTI other than Eurocarparts or GSF?
Struggling to find any others and don't particularly want to go aftermarket.
Thanks

Ses autoparts for bosal.. whereabouts south are you? 

TPS - they supply OE VW but you need a trade account or someone that has access to one.

Thanks I'll give them a ring in the morning.
I'm in the Gloucester/Cheltenham area.

Ask for mike. 

i know its ebay but theres a few genuine VAG exhausts being sold on there at the moment as ive been trying to source one!

Failing all of that would CQ do them as well??

I really want to keep an as original exhaust note as possible.
Is there much difference with the longlife?

You can get the sound that u want.

Also the choice of tailpipes from standard to ridiculous.

I went for 3" inward rolled tailpipe iirc with mid sport sound which is raspy and louder than standard but u can get it much quieter.

I went for stainless as I'm keeping the car for yrs and it has a 10yr warranty and at £300 fitted custom made I thought it was well worth it.

There is pics of the system on my project thread incl shots from under the car.

Is that £300 for the center and rear box or complete system including exhaust manifold?

Not the manifold but I have heard too many stories about stainless manifolds cracking as they are not flexible enough, so it put me off.

I was going to do the manifold at first and change the engine mounts to poly but people were telling me that it causes too many rattles in the cabin etc.

As I'm a novice it put me off.

I'm delighted with my exhaust prob the best thing I've done.

I've got a complete centre box and back box of my sportline you can have £25 and I'm close to you.

Good to read about Longlife, I'm off to get a complete new system in the morning. A like for like copy only in stainless, no noise and a standard, straight, 50mm tailpipe. The only change was that i was thinking of reducing it's length by around 50-75mm and having it as a straight exit rather than the standard angle towards the left rear corner. 

I got a straight exit on mine, the only little prob was it sits slightly lower because if the inner valance and outer big bumper as its obviously meant to be at an angle.

I am delighted with mine.

Heritage Vw (aka big boys toys) sell two OEM exhaust parts for 1.8 GTI.
The middle section and rear section are by ERNST ltd.
The front downpipe is by a Scandinavian company, can't remember the company name.

Just bought the whole lots from them.
Can't get the new downpipe to slip over the roll bar.
Have I got to dismount the anti roll bar to fit my new downpipe. The old came off easy cuz the bit that joins the middle section had rusted and broke off.

hi rear silencer was available from vw hertiage which i got mine from but not cheap and front silencer sold out keep checking ebay I have seen two geniune which I bought one.

I've used http://www.leisureshack.co.uk for our Polos exhaust, they're a Bosal supplier and were much cheaper than anyone else I could find.
