I just haven't got the cash at the moment but I have my V8S pre cat full system inc manifolds off the car if you wanted to measure it / borrow it or anything. I'm in Bingham, Notts not a zillion miles from Louth.

I won't be ready for them quite yet but I will need a new system shortly. It would be interesting to see a pic of the downpipes you have fabricated.

Is there anyway that the downpipes can be fabricated so that they resist leaking....!

Extra flanges, longer overlap onto the main section, reverse the male to female ends, addition of a flared end to insert a gasket of some sort...???

I used to have a local garage who made exhaust systems to order and had a couple of initial chats with them, but all came to nothing.

Every year at MOT time.. I get the same thing from the tester, 'It's OK' he says ' I can't hear the exhaust leaking if I switch the engine off..!'

I happily be a guinea pig.
