Hello all I'm looking for someone who can fabricate me a whole exhaust system including manifold. I use to use a guy for my motorbikes but he hasn't got the room for a car.

And I could use some inspiration on what to get I want it to be different, so some pictures would be more than appreciated :):)

It's an exhaust.. it will always be a metal pipe comming from the car.. ( usually the back because in most countries it's forbidden to have side exhausts)

There's a thread on twin-exit exhausts somewhere if you'd like to search.

I think they're legal in aus provided they exit after the most rearward door.

No, but having something entirely different isn't really possible.. There are loads of people having motorbike exhausts etc too now.

 

remeber that wide exhaust ( generaly) lose bhp

I see you're in Kent. There are a number of fabricators around brands hatch. But why would you? There are loads of mini aftermarket systems. There will be one out there for you. Fabrication is just not cost effective. If you're looking for an excellent fabricator look at Chris tullett's site. I've used him for an exige. You could buy a mini for the cost of one of his race exhausts.

I used pipecraft in Basildon on a previous car I owned in my boy racer days :-$

Had a full stainless system made up. Could even pick the tone of the exhaust note. Not cheap as an off the shelf item but I would highly recommend them if you want to make your own system.

Google them and give them a bell. They have a website www.pipecraft.info I think.

Why not get a Maniflow one which is a proven design and the correct pipe lengths for scavage, has the correct size pipe and rear box to give the best bhp, you can even get a Stainless one

Yeah I was just going through the options, because we are not ever planning on selling the car so it doesn't really matter price wise just more uniqueness.

Do the minis sound any good with the motorbike exhaust on them?

You could also try PowerSpeed in Ashford.  Really tops blokes, however i think a custom SS manifold starts from 700 quid!
