Just try and find examples of their work before choosing them. I've seen some awful 'custom' ones in recent years. Quite a few have a go heros who really should put down the torch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreePointFive Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 Rimmers have a selection of stainless pipes that are definitely not Double S, I have a pair of EFI downpipes that are really nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elbekko Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 Chuck in a Britpart mild steel one to get it running, and get a nice stainless one made later? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once it's running drive it to a fabricator of exhausts so you can have one made properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallfry Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Yes, just get a Britpart one from island 4x4. Surprised to find that the 300tdi exhaust I bought a few years ago had mandrel bends too. Will get the moving on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Other option, bit of searching and watching back Retropower MK1 escort build videos.... BTB exhausts in Daventry. Absolutely stunning quality. Might be worth a shout for building you a custom one to match the quality of the rest of the rebuild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snagger Posted August 9 Author Share Posted August 9 Thanks, everyone. I spoke to Revival this morning, following some emails. They have a couple of local exhaust fabricators that they used for some Escorts that apparently did a nice job, so they are going to get estimates. I emailed JPExhausts and they replied back about needing a template. They could use my old exhaust for that. I also enquirer about having them add the flexible section to a Demand down pipe, so I’ll see what they say. Having a temporary mild steel exhaust isn’t prohibitively expensive, but it does increase the chance of shell or chassis paint damage underneath while being removed for replacement, so I’d rather do it right first time. They want to get the car running and mechanically complete before starting the interior, but I can’t see a problem with them get started on refurbishing the seats and headlining to keep momentum while an exhaust solution is worked on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
