Or if you want stainless steel, Quicksilver and Larini supply them off the shelf.

Or PD Gough will custom make *any* exhaust for *anything* (either from a pattern or to the car) to a standard that - when you get it - you won't want to fit it, just hang it on the wall and gaze at it.

Yes, couldn't believe the quality of the welding on the Y-Piece in my HP Firenza exhaust. And even though it's been fitted since about 1997 you can still read clearly where it says "Vauxhall Droopsnoot" on one of the pipes. Even the marker pens they use are good quality.

Their pattern room has to be seen to be believed, too.

I took a couple of pattern systems up there, and got the full guided tour - upstairs is this vast room full of systems hanging there - everything from M5 to Silver Ghost to bloody great big wagons.

Cheers all,

So it looks like I'll have to open the old wallet and invest in a full new system....

Oh well just don't let the missus know how much I'm spending on my toy.

Wish I had known about these people a couple of years ago. I bought a complete ss system from Hayward & Scott, who I thought had a good reputation. The first one didn't fit by a mile - well, nearly a foot. To give them their due they did send a man out to have a look; he went away muttering that it wasn't possible - it was one of a batch just made up, and no-one else had complained. The next one fitted fairly well, but blew like hell due to crap welding. Went back - it's supposed to have a lifetime guarantee (how long is a lifetime?) and they removed the whole system and re-welded it. Better, but still blowing. Went back again and came away with a worse blow. I just can't be bothered to go around the M25 to wildest Essex to sit around for half a day - actually, stand around, as they didn't even offer a seat, let alone a cup of tea. So I'm taking it to a local firm which does ss welding - OK, it will cost, but at least I might get the job done.

Would second this - the Super Snipe's turned up within a couple of days and the local tyre and exhaust mob (couldn't be a***d crawling around underneath with stubborn fittings etc) popped it on in about 20 mins flat - no bodging or fettling required. They are definitely on my list of "good guys" :)

just fitted one to my DS, lovely :-)
