Would you mind telling me what spec you got, how long it took and how much it cost to get these made? I am going to be getting a set made up in the summer for a V8 Rush because I reckon £2k for a pair of exhausts is far too much!

Mike Randall aka Mike The Pipe.
Sold the Business on some year's back.

Not sure if he is still around himself.

AFAIK Mike retired a few years ago and sold the business on, they kept the name because everyone knows them as Mike the Pipe!

Simpson Race Exhausts make them for old Spice Group C cars, maybe they'll do you a good deal!

Hate ask how much a pair of bespoke manifolds would be, but they look like they know what they are doing thumbup

Sadly mike the pipe ( Mike Randall ) died in July 2004 after a long illness, he sold his business to Longlife Exhausts Ltd who have taken his factory over they only work in stainless steel mainly straight through under systems for cars with a lifetime warranty, the sad thing is all his jigs and patterns that covered cars from the 1930s were thrown in a skip and taken away as scrap, Longlife as far as i know have little or no ability to produce manifolds as they only have compression benders.
