I didn't know that. We looked at them, from afar, but tbh we do a lot
of off-road stuff and I've gone through about three exhausts, rear [1]
and middle [2] sections ... which would be a tad expensive with an SS
one.

[1] The rear seems to bend behind the silencer box (not that it makes
much difference sound wise.) and/or fill up with mud/slurry/shite which
solidifies and is a b'stard to clean out and/or get it's rear end
closed up and folded over, which isn't oo much trouble as it usually
falls off anyway .. ;)

[2] The middle seems to be affected mostly when the rear gets folded
back on itself, and is squashed or similarly creased so it's nigh on
impossible for Kwik-Fit [3] to fit anything.

[3] Cheapest round here for exhausts .. about £30 IIRC
