How long should a modern exhaust last? - Page 2

70k miles and 4 years and the exhaust on my overclocked car shows no signs of falling off.

I would hope a few years. However I got my focus and blew the back box within a few months. Got a new exhaust Jan/Feb and I think thats starting to go :/ Although driving it damn hard (only when hot though) probably doesn't help.

So an original exhaust that's still going strong at nearly six years and over 180,000 isn't bad then?

As a result of this thread, your exhaust will now die. Sods law.

So long as it doesn't do it on the way to Wales in just TWO WEEKS time!

Ford exhaust anyway feek, cheap to replace. I think I have gone through 2 in 166k. One rusted to bits, one I was just unlucky and a particularly spirited drive over an especially vicious speedbump and clouted it one.

The longest I have owned a car before encountering exhaust problems is 3 weeks (all second hand, of course).

First thing I do if I buy a second hand car is check that the local exhaust place has a full range of parts for the exhaust.

It's still going strong, over 7 years old now and done around 215,000 miles.

Of course, posting the thread originally was a risk. Reviving it after all this time is guaranteeing it's going to go pop.
