I'd guess easily £2k if it's as new as described. They're not available on the seconhand market, and they are what they are. So if someone wants it they'll have to pay for it!

how can they justify that kind of price for them?

last full exhaust that we built at tt was a full bespoke job for a bmw 2.0 I6 (not an m20 old pre war one) fitted into a chain gang frazer nash.

whole thing was a one off and hand built all the way to the rear. i dont remember the actual figure and it wouldnt be fair to the owner to give it away but i know it was far less than that.

all in high grade stainless and polished after construction and assembly.

I was quoted £1800 just to modify my existing manifolds and provide an x pipe! 8O

Not sure.. Modifying the original manifold requires specialist processes, BUT as for the rest.. Not a clue. I went to Zero and got a superb 2x2.25" manifold back system made for £600

Pardon my ignorance,
What's the idea behind the X pipe?

balances the pulsations in the exhaust and can be used to increase scavenging.

It's a lovely piece of kit but the cost is total madness. :eek:

That being said it won't affect it's second hand value. If the condition is how it's described and looks, I would take a penny under £1800 for it. It will move at that too I reckon.
