vxr8 manifolds and sports cats- where from?

[SKM1984]

As title

I know there is aas but there quite far away

I've got a cat back system currently. I was tempted to order proflow manifolds and sports cats and have them fitted somewhere locally but nobody really wants to tackle that job when I say the parts are from Australia.

Is there another custom place in the Midlands?

I'll give aas a bell as I know they've made some now so might have a jig

Try Monkfish who supply Wortec systems or Walkinshaw performance.

I wholly recommend AAS. I think they do have a jig for VXR8's now, but double check with Stuart.

You could try MIJ performance. Birmingham based. Make exhaust from the ground up.

Whilst I have not personally used them I have recommended them to a number of 635csi owners (my other car) when I was running e24 section of the BMW car club. They have built a number and I have always been impressed with the quality of the finish. They made a custom exhaust for a friends Alpina b7s turbo Concourse car and made an exact replica of the OEM exhaust outer look as it was no longer available. Looked and sounded great.

Worth a call Google search them

Alternatively you have Hayward and Scott on the Essex/Kent boarder. Did an exhaust for my Porsche Boxster. Check out ottle Boxster porsche on YouTube. Fitted a bipass pipe around the OEM silencer. Just epic sound. They specialise in porsche's and Jaguar's but came make anything. Not cheap but quality of work is excellent.

I'm in Berkshire & am considering it next year for the same job.

AFAIK Monkfish only deal with Wortec exhausts & can't/won't match Wortec headers to a Walkinshaw system if that's what you've got fitted. I did read a post on FB that Walky now do headers & cats (imported from Oz) but I'd need to check that myself for an LS2.

AAS do have a jig as it's mine they made the jig off.
It's £1300 for full stainless steel long tubed headers and cats. Including new HT leads.

Or

Same as above but they will post for £ 1150

Whats the need for new HT leads?

[SKM1984]

Do you mean o2 extension leads??

I'll give aas a bell in the morning

Booked in with aas for 12th Feb

Longer ht leads are required for clearance

I have a walkinshaw cat back on mine, (heavily modified). I got a set of Wortec headers and cats sent to me and fitted them my self, then took the exhaust to RJM to have it altered. the Walkinshaw is to long to fit onto the Wortec cats, so done away with the center silencers and had an X pipe made in its place, bolted it all back up and the fit is perfect with a great noise. (my rear silencers are also altered, much smaller than the Walkinshaws). I needed new HT leads as well, not for clearance but because you have to remove them to fit the headers and the standard ones were so brittle that a few of them broke when taking them off. So if you plan to fit them your self I would recommend ordering a set if your engine is on the original set.
