Anybody used this company for exhaust / downpipe / kat?

£650 isn't bad - agreed - but there must be scope for lower cost if its made to be repeatable i.e they don't need to custom make each one for fitment... Just make them as per a tried and tested jig. Dunno at what level the cost and hassle of creating the jigs costs in though. Its definitely worth asking.

£650 is a good price - Do you know if that include flanges or do they butcher your existing DP?

i maybe able to get a few flanges made......to save butchering a DP...

Whoever is going to see these Hayward & Scott guys - it is definitely worth asking about the prices for having them create suitable jigs for a Coupe downpipe & system so that could be amortised over 5, 10 or more customers.

what about avant owners??....

IMHO if I pay good money for a SS exhaust I want to take the stock one home with me complete.

There was no talk of needing to butcher existing downpipes.

Mine is an Avant by the way

Sweet.... let me know how you get on....there maybe some other avant owners that would like to join a potential GB.....

Downpipe and frontal exhaust systems should be common to Coupe, Avant & Sedan... Its the rear where its different.

hayward exhaust

we used them for a cossie powered puma project and all three manifolds went out of shape ,maybe if we had used a turbo cradle it might not have been so bad but they will not carry the turbo unsupported

When dealing with Aelred this is the company he recommended for exhausts, nuff said!

jamo : bingo!!

maniflod

it wont matter who makes it or who recomends it,it will need a turbo support,

not on an S car it doesn't it's only needs a flex pipe at the end of the downpipe/

What do you think of the supersprint downpipe?
It goes a fair distance under the car should it really have a flexy at the bottom bend too?

[garym]

a flexi pipe after the turbo will not stop sag when the manifold gets hot ,the weight of the turbo will make it sag until it either cracks of rests against something,even the works incolnel ones sag if they are not supported

[garym]

just realised its the downpipe and exhaust you are talking about and not the manifold,it was tubuler manifolds they made for us and they went **** down as we did not support the turbo
