Eyup, my engine is pretty much ready to drop back in the bay and I need to get a custom 3" stainless system made. I have a stainless turbo elbow and it needs to be from this back. I think I need a small flexi to take stress away from the turbo and then a simple straight piece of pipe to the very back, going under the axle instead of a 'U' over it and then one back box - so relatively simple. I was going to use Longlife in Ellesmere Port but they seem to have gone. Ill be having to trailer it to wherever I get it done so could do with it being relatively close but I could travel a bit I guess. I'm near Liverpool, anyone have any good ideas or contacts?

I'd recommend taking the first section of pipe from the dump pipe down under the floor and rigidly mounting this first bit to the engine/box. I never ever had any problem with the dump or turbo working loose with it set up like that but have known plenty of others who didn't rigid mount the first bit and were forever having problems with gasket leaks, especially on the dump pipe. The bolts are a PITA to get to on the CA when you need to tighten them too.

Yeah I remembered about PhilJ and had a search only to find he is miles away so that wouldnt really work  Cheers Ratdat thats actually a really good idea about mounting the first section of the exhaust on the gearbox/engine think Ill do that. Still stumped where to get one made though. Demon Tweeks where a bit funny quoting me... don't suppose there is anywhere relatively local like max 2 hours away form Liverpool I could use? |

Shrewsbury near enough? I know of a fella there who does stainless. Joncedric on here has has a bunch of systems done by him and would probably be able to provide you with a contact. He did a 3" one for my SR20 powered Datsun 610 a few years ago and it was quite reasonably priced.

Alreet Roy, yeah demon theeves attitude wasnt great so I don't really wanna give them the work tbh, plus sounded like it could be expensive. Shrewsbury sounds perfect dude, thanks for the heads up, Ill go on a virtual search for Joncedric |

Theres a place near ormskirk called pipewerx, I bought some bits of them when I was making my exhaust and they have a pretty good rep as far as I know. Might be worth a quote, as it wouldn't be too far from you.
