Having just had a good scour of both google UK and yell.co.uk, I haven't been able to find anything funky that sticks out in Cumbria

Maybe it's not so far for you to book yourself in for a day with PECO in Liverpool, or ASCAR in Sheffield?

As for costs - depends what you want and want to pay...

Had this reply from quicksilver, id have to fit it myself tho.

Is this expensive for a stainless system?

"Yes, we manufacture a stainless system from the catalytic convertor for your Volvo 480 for Â£ 385.00 Pounds including VAT and delivery.

This is an accurate replica of the original system with the same performance, fit, sound and appearance.

This system is currently in stock.

All our exhaust systems are manufactured entirely from type 304 austenitic stainless steel and come with our Twenty Five Year Corrosion Guarantee and are designed to fit properly, look right and sound authentic - we have been here since 1973.

Quite expensive but not overly so. I paid Â£300 for my powerflow system, which sounds similar to theirs, but if they use better quality materials than powerflow, it might well be worth the extra Â£85. Have they got any you can see, or is this strictly mail order?
