                I wish I could weld... Thats nice enough for a home brew Mr nip...

                I think there is a niche market for this here. Now that you have the jig made up, couldn't you cut a deal with a good exhaust place that is setup to make them in batches of 5 or 10 at a time ? They could make some money - so could you...

                IMHO it would need to include the flexi sections and I'd also MUCH prefer the 3rd bung for wideband O2 to be towards bottom / flat section of downpipe.

                Could you / would you get these priced up in stainless ?

                          Cool - and if you and your pal want to make more money - look at a modular exhaust system in stainless - for the Coupe for now...

                          One that does away with the y-pipes

                          Can accomodate a sports CAT (or not)

                          Can incorporate an optional centre box

                          Keep it 3" (76mm) as far down the car as possible... with a reducing section to 70mm before it routes over the rear driveshaft and into the back box. That will be the easiest for everyone to fit. Should be able to avoid 3B vs ABY variants.

                          The Avant / Sedan guys can easily have 3" all the way.

                          The price for full custom system is generally quite high. The price for something like Supersprint is also very high for what it is... I think its suffering from strength of Euro - imported from Italia.... Hence there is a market in the UK for a somewhat generic zorst upgrade on the S2 - but the quality must be right - fitment must be top notch and modularity with options for CAT is required also. What do you think ?
