4.6v8lwt Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Am trying to find a company to make a stainless steel exhaust for my lightweight hybrid and am struggling to get anyone to do it. Got a pair of manifolds from a company in Lincs to check fit and then they were going to make the rest but they dont seem interested now. Got to the stage of going to throw them back at them get money back and start again. Can anyone recommend someone in the north west/manchester area that might be able to do something.

Mark90 Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 I had my custom exhaust made by http://www.longlife.co.uk at their Berkerly branch, nearest one to you would be Leeds. I was very happy with the service/quality/sound/shineyness of mine B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pugwash Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 how much ££ you got? http://www.jpexhausts.co.uk/ do a lot of custom stuff for ktis cars and the like. Are you sure stainless is the way to go, i'm sure there was a thread somewhere about stainless zorts cracking because they don't have the fatigue resistance (or something like that- i know it put me off the expense of a stainless exhaust anyway!)

pugwash Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 hmmmm shiny when was that done mark? is it recent? i'm going to presume no, seeing as the undeside of that truck is the shiniest of any off roader ever- have you been polishing it?

4.6v8lwt Posted June 14, 2007 Author Share Posted June 14, 2007 Looks really nice Mark, but a bit far to go. As Pugwash mentioned JPExhausts are only at Macclesfield which is not too far. Spoke to a nice chap called Rick who seems to know what things are about. Block hugger manifolds £450 ish and the rest of the system £350 ish. Am going to ring them again tomorrow to see if they can connect up to the manifolds i have already got, which solves some aggro. Thanks for the help much appreciated.

Mark90 Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 I should have thought of JP, I lived in Macclesfield for a bit, but never had call to use them No recent Jim, was done when I built the truck, about this time last year. Not quite so shiny now, the exhaust or anything else under there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roverdrive Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Used JP in Macclesfield some years ago for a complete system + manifolds for a lightweight. They were expensive, but did a good job, which I suppose is what you pay for isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
