Just wondering if anyone can recommend a decent place that can make up a custom system?

Ive recently put an SBD manifold on and had to do a bit of a bodge on the old magnex system to get it to fit. So after a proper system now to match the manifold.

Any ideas? i dont mind travelling as long as its going to be good.

Only place so far i have thought of is blue flame, think its in manchester. Andy b had his turbo exhaust done there.

Many thanks. karl

Karl go to JP exhausts in Macclesfield 01625619916 they have madeloads of nova exhausts like, mine, beasties, nick caros, howels old car, bretts, Joffs etc. They are very good, ask to speak to Big Rick and say the magic cash word and they would sort you out. Rick

Cheers guys for the suggestions, dont suppose you have the phone numbers for those companies do you?

Any idea rick on a average cost for manifold back?

As for the mods i had to do on the current GSI system, had to make a pipe up and cut one of the silencers out so i could mate it to the new manifold. Never been happy with it.

Thanks again :)

Also Karl i forgot to mention JP make exhaust sections for TVR and Lotus from what i am lead to believe. They had a Ferrari F40 in a few months back making a manifold for it! Rick

Nick Caro was raving to me about JP exhausts at Billing this year, he seemed well chuffed with them. Also ask _Ben_ what Tony Law are like, as I believe his valver has one on.

BTB are probably the best, but you have to pay big ?? for a system. I'm sure they make the the SBD manifolds for them....

Longlife exhausts in cardiff are good, im sure theres other longlife places around the country
( www.exhaustsuk.com) or something like that! could have a - between exhausts and uk!
they do a lifetime guarantee! and their work is good, and stainless steel BTW!
