urS6 Exhaust

[lune]

Just been quoted for my new Stainless system from a local specialist. 3” From turbo back in mandrel bent 304 including sports CAT for £720. In a dilemma on what to do with downpipe as for £100 less I can leave the existing Y piece that connects wastegate pipe to exhaust or can go the whole hog and have the full pipe made up. I think I am going to get the full downpipe manufactured, as I’m concerned about the step up to 3” as I’m gathering the existing pipe must be smaller. Was just wondering if anyone had any opinions and what do people think of the price? The place seems to produce high standard systems as most of his work is for motorsport applications, he only had a Corvette, Mitsubishi 300GT and a Duratec-R engined kit car in his workshop, no signs of a Corsa/Saxo anywhere! Anyway, I have my car booked in for couple of week’s time and my dads taking in his Supra turbo for the same treatment the next day. Therefore, we should get some idea of how good the place is and hopefully I can recommend the place to fellow Northerners that sometimes struggle to find a high quality exhaust gig.
I will keep you updated.

Sounds a lot of dough to me.

Sounds very reasonable to me!! I've just been quoted £630 for a downpipe back system inc sport cat and I'd definately be prepared to pay £100 for a downpipe! Other's on here have been quoted £250+ for the downpipe alone! Longlife want a grand to do a 3" turbo back system for me and that was without a cat!! Which company are you dealing with?

I was in there yesterday Ben. Nice chap. (spent an hour looking under my car for the mystery vibration I'm getting.)
He has a good reputation.

Very very very cheap, I had looked into getting a system made for my S6.
Miltek wanted more than that for the prototype, others I asked for quotes wanted nearly twice that.
3" turbo back with sports cat for £720 in 304ss. deal...

Was actually Friday I was in Jas. Thought it was strange when the bloke was saying I've just been looking at a Blue S2! Now if he had said purple I would have guessed Here's me asking the bloke about the S2 he'd just looked at saying I'm sure I would know him if he was local Sure enough it's bl**dy Jason! Did you guess from the cars I mentioned that it must have been the same place? Reassuring that he has a good reputation
Right anyway the place is called Advanced Automotive Systems Ltd (A.A.S) and the bloke I spoke to was called Stuart. They are situated on Bells Close Ind Estate off Scotswood Rd in Newcastle. Tel No. 01912673718
My exhaust should be fitted in roughly 3 weeks and I will report back with photies etc. Hopefully jobs a good un
PS Should rely keep the "cheap" comment on the QT as the bloke keeps an eye on the forums and may well end up doubling his prices

Must have just missed you matey. Yeah, as soon as I read "Corvette" Mitsu" and that kit car thing with the biggest rear tyres I ever seen, I knew it must be the same place.
I was pointed in his direction by Paulgo as he used him for a cat bypass.
Still didn't get to the bottom of my mystery vibe under the car, and wasn't wholey convinced at the diagnosis of a goosed wheel bearing (which it's not) but I was very impressed with his setup. And his quote of making a new downpipe in 3" SS is bloody good :mischeif:
He really does have a good rep, does loads of stuff for competion cars and the like.

Catch you soon Ben.

Sounds like it'd almost be worth the trip to Newcastle just to get mine done! Well maybe not but I reckon that some of the guys on here, myself included would be very interested in a cheap stainless downpipe! Ask him if he'd be prepared to make a batch from your template. Group buy anyone??

[Paulgo]

Hi Ben!

Was actually Friday I was in Jas.

I was back in to AAS on Saturday getting my UR back box put back on (the box I got from Mik will by on the bay soon ) and a slight blow on my car replacement pipe sorted - Stuart said he'd just had an s4 in - I even said I had a mate with one and never twigged

Im getting the middle section of my zorst done in SS soon - really good bunch in there and good prices!

cheers

Sod that more like trader discount

[Ross]

Sounds like a good deal to me, if that's inclusive of a sports cat too!

Any downpipe solution, I'm interested, as Longlife are really f**king me off with their lack of enthusiasm to finish the job.

[lune]

Yep price included Sports CAT, I will see how he gets on with my downpipe and ask him what kind of deal he could do on a batch If longlife are being arsey about making downpipes it's obvious that they don't want our business and I would go elsewhere I would have thought that people from the forums etc. have thrown them god knows how much work, you would have thought they would be a little more enthusiastic Maybe they need to be made aware that there is some competition out there, besides bloomin Powerflow! I have to admit I was nearly travelling to Leeds branch to have my system done until my dad mentioned he had spotted this place hidden away. I also would have been knarked if they had turned their nose up at downpipe work.
Just my 2p

[Paulgo]

Ask him if he'd be prepared to make a batch from your template.

Thats shouldnt be a problem I reckon - when I had the cat replacement pipe made for the cq20v I left the orginal at AAS as a template for this purpose so for anyone else wanting one done so it could just be run off .

Incidently they also have stainless fuel lines

cheers
