Just lost the exhaust off my c900

Driving home from work last night and I was overcome with an almighty roar
and a grinding noise.
Looked under the car and the exhaust was hanging off from the box just under
the drivers seat.
My local friendy mechanic is coming ut to have a look for me, so hopefully
he'll be able to effect a repair.
If he does have to replace it, what sort of price are we likely to be
looking at for an exhaust from a 1989 saab 900i in the UK?

Update,
Just got the car back from our good friend Davy who has done an amazing
repair job for us.
He replaced one of the silencer boxes by welding in a part from a Nissan,
and patched up a few other small blow holes in it for us.

IIRC (and it's three or fours years back), I had a whole C900i exhaust from
the manifold back done for under 200 quid. I tell you what, it sounded
really nice with brand new metal all the way from the engine

Take a look at Parts for SAABs, Elkparts, German, Swedish & French online
for a rough guide. PFS & Elkparts both re-sell genuine SAAB.

Well, that's a result! Cost effective
Never mind ... Brand new metal next time, eh?
