Hi Guys,
Can anyone recommend a good exhaust fabricators for a V8 Holden. I need the exhaust made in stainless without it being ridiculous money. I am in SE England but would travel for the right fabricators.

TIA

You could try Powerspeed in Ashford for a good cost effective system or Simpson Race Exhaust in Langley in Berkshire if money is no object.

Thanks, I have visited Simpson before, no doubt on their quality, but the prices were very "high end".

Maybe so. but they have bucks of exhausts, so might have one, ther than that, send your old one and they will do an identical one with mods if you want.

I'm not knocking them .. they have been supplying me with s/s bends for my current set of manifolds and are currently building me a new box to my exact design.

Their prices are very good smile

I've got a Simpson system on my Dax Rush and it is superb. I did get it a few years ago though before they increased their prices to the level they're at now. I'm a happy customer though so I just thought I'd pipe up. Just tell them what you want and you'll get it. smile

AAS - Newcastle area. A fair distance away, but worth having a chat with, in case they have already done a Holden.

Still think you should check out Powerspeed, they did the system on my Duratec at a reasonable price.

Work isnt stunning, but does in general look to be very good. Depends what they are like to pay though.

For the Duratec it was £857 including VAT for full stainless system with Re-Packable silencer. Simpson quoted me £1500 +VAT.

Surprised no one has mentioned Hayward & Scott yet, based in Basildon, Essex.

Amazing workmanship, everything is made on-site from sheet metal and stainless tubing etc, and not very expensive either. Some of their hand-made manifolds they turn out are works of art!
