Hi,

I am looking to have the exhaust replaced on my Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.7V8.

Currently have the standard set up with a cherry bomb.

I want a stainless system ideally to include a free flowing CAT, new silencer etc. I know the sound I want:

I can get a Kolak system with freeflowing cat, flowmaster 50 imported for around £400 including tax's.

I then need it fitting, is there anywhere anyone can recommend locally to myself that custom builds and can achieve the sound I want.

I can google places but recommendaion is preferred.

Cheers

James

These guys made me a cracking 3" stainless system for my GMC:

Cost was around £340 a year or two ago.

Had a quote from them, price is good. Did you get the sound you were after?

Yep. They'll make it as loud or as quiet as you like. With hindsight I'd have had it a bit quieter though, it can drone a bit on the motorway.

I've used Torqueflow before, top guys and did a good job. Maybe worth speaking to them. Can't comment on price as I didn't have much done but I can say the quality was brilliant and sounded exactly how we wanted.

There is a place in Worcester, on the A44, where St Johns becomes Dines Green, I can't remember their name, and I've never used them (I've never been in the market for a custom system, and can't remember the time I last replaced an exhaust).

For MIJ they can be very cheap or expensive.

I had them quote over the phone for my F150 - just wanted a 45 bend, 3' of 3" pipe and another 45 bend - they quoted £80 fitted.

When I got there it went up to £95 (which I expected) but still seemed good value and took them 2hrs

Next time I wanted something similar on my van but with 2 extra boxes they quoted £350ish

So I went to a cracking lad near the Blues ground - RS Exhausts or similar (google will find him) BUT he can only do crush NOT mandrel bends £200 so almost half the price of MIJ.

Been quoted £275 from MIJ for CAT back system, am trying to get them to add into that price for replacement freeflow CAT to see what the difference is.

Other than that I can import a Kolak system with flowmaster from states but its £400 before fitting so pricey.

Will see if RS can quote as well then, some places don't return calls or reply to emails.
