Title: fabricating stainless exhausts/pipes...
Post by: ngrainqey on 09 July 2010, 15:11:47
does anybody know companies that can fabricate such as sections of exhausts or "pipes/tubing" besides exhausts uk in south yorks?

im wanting to swap my backbox for a straight through pipe because i'm hard like that lol i can sort the mounting out, im just interested in the pipe to match my backbox's flow path/diametre if you get me like straight bit, bend, small straight, other way bend then out of the bumper

thanks

No personal experience but appear to be well regarded in kit car circles.

Is there a longlife dealer nearby?

Other option is that various places sell ready-made bends, adaptors, straight sections, etc. Weld them together to do what you want. Won't be that pretty but it'll be under the car anyway.

I dare not consider a price, because I think alot of companies overcharge for the exhausts in the 1st place, same a tyre companies.(seems price reflects cost of storage as no one wants to go back to places where they have no stock)

Geuss is cost of length of pipe, £10 to bend it and £10 to flange it then double the price and multiply by the dogs age.  £60

Here you go.  Saw this company this morning, have had tyres fitted by them years ago (same company as Matbly tyres and exhausts - Maltby is more exspensive though) allways busy but quite organised, seems they now do stainless exhausts, not sure if malby does (But just heard he may well be going on holiday - care of the VAT office if he doesnt play catch up)
