Yes, I will consider this if I can be sure the company can do it properly.
My recent experience was 3 years ago when the Rickman needed a new piece of
pipe - I went to a recommended place in Norwich who clearly wanted to
maximise his margins. "You'll need a new silencer as well,...... if it's too
noisy we can just add another.... back pressure doesn't matter". He did a
very good job of the pipe he put an accurate double bend in, and welded a
hanger on. The work was first class, but he was clearly used to the
go-faster/noisier customers he was aiming the product at.
I want to know the system will be correctly matched and low volume before I
commit, otherwise I'm happy to go with a mild steel system because although
it will perish in time, it's likely to be low noise.

Martin,
Wouldn't it be worth having a custom exhaust built for the car? Yes, a
stainless system like this will be expensive to fit, but work out to be
great value in the long run. Plus having something custom built will allow
you to tailor the sound to suit.
Regards,
Steve

Got a burble from the 5 year -old exhaust (OE Ford one) which has split
on 2nd bend in front of box, so rang the exhaust place to be told
"discontinued/unobtainable" This local exhaust place unfortunately can't
be bothered with any 'challenge' - there was a time when you could take
a car into a local exhaust place who would say "discontinued" but then
have a look through their parts to find one similar which they could
adapt. Ok, the back-pressure may not be spot on, but at least it's
better than a holed exhaust. Anyway, the local factors can get one for
£51 inc Vat, which is the whole system from 'feet to back' which seems
about right on price - I'll find out when I compare it to the one on the
car. Only issue is the cut/shut I made in the original to make it a good
fit...... so my choice once the original is off is whether to do a local
repair, or cut/shut the new one and put that on. I gave up trying the
get a stainless one as they all seem to be 'performance' (noisy!) ones.
What have others found? maybe worth getting a spare whilst still
available? Martin
