As above, I need a custom exhaust made for an M30 powered E30 in the Bradford area.

Recommendations sought.

No, I'm starting here, I've done the googling but that's not always the best approach.

Any experience of them ?

There is a place in Mansfield that done a very nice system for me a few years ago for a B6 3.5. They done a complete system including a 6 branch . The car was RHD though :eek:

Not bothered about copying anything Rav, just want to make sure the car breathes easily and it sounds like Mad Max's Interceptor at idle. Going for stainless so it'll last.

There's no template that I can copy from as I've no idea what the original exhaust for the car looked like.

I know there's one in Sutton in ashfield but I can't remeber the name.
so if you can remember the firms name please let me know Pete as I'm on the look out for a new system.

topblag sorry for the hijack :)

Colin is taking it here not an option. I've had first hand experince of there work with a full system they did for my Pulsar GTI-R a few years ago and the work was very good.

Engine has had a rebuild and I'd like it fired up before I bring it up the road, hence the need for the exhaust to avoid melting the fresh underseal !

Not really an option, hence the thread for someone near bradford.

Been a while since I was in Bradford,but Shipley is just north,with little in the way of green between the two...

Seem to remember that a zoner in the NE,Newcastle/Gateshead/Seaham/Hartlepool area was building s/s systems?

Some-one such as Alex/Magpie may remember who it was/is?
