What about a stainless system built on to the car by the likes of powerflow etc? or get a 2litre one and adjust it to fit :)

have been quoted 134 for 2nd hand 2ltr exhaust, not sure how compatable they are ? from the net it looks like a different mid section is required.

Yeah, IIRC you need to cut the flange off the mid section, rotate it and then re-weld it back on... Any exhaust fabricators should be able to do that for you :)
