hi all, anyone know a good stainless steel exhaust (pipe) makers/suppliers/fitters in the Northampton (/shire) area please
I just need a s/s pipe to go from my manifold to back box, I'm fed up of the off-the-shelf pipe I can buy for the car that just doesn't quite fit so am looking for a custom made piece of flared and bent s/s pipe that'll fit and remain fitted
neither of the two exhaust manufacturers dealt with such things when I last tried a couple of years ago

Gun Dog Ales Ltd Unit 5b Great Central Way Woodford Halse Daventry Northants NN11 3PZ Telephone: 01327 264095 I'm told their beer is a bit home brew standard but I've yet to try it griffdude said: What about Hoggley's at Litchborough? Roy would probably prefer to meet in the Old Redl Lion where he'd be paying and drinking his own beer, funny lot these microbrewers

Nigel , I took my red vx 7 to BTB must be 2 yrs ago at least as Joe Ellis had the jig for a 'proper manifold & Exhaust' for the vx . By god did he make a beautiful creation and it sounds evil too , much recomended .Thank you Joe by the way it gets many admiring looks .( 7 bhp increase on old system )

That's a coincidence, I was there on Saturday as well, and managed to stay long enough for the last 2 races, which were very entertaining. I especially enjoyed seeing the TWR XJS being given the beans by Alex Buncombe, as I never saw the beast race in it's day. If anyone went on Sunday, can they tell me who won the U2TC race?
