I cant comment on the quality of these guys work. But Ive bought some Magnaflow stuff off them before. And they're at Heathrow

Goodfabs isnt too far away. Although you'd probably need to book well in advance and I'm sure they'll be more expensive than your average fabricator.

http://www.goodfabs.com/

Or also near Heathrow and top quality

Without knowing exactly what the £2k entailed it's hard to say whether it's good or bad.

But if it's just a exhaust system made from stainless it does sound a bit steep even for a bespoke item. A cossie underside wouldnt be the most difficult of cars

I dont doubt it.

Ive had a full centre section made for my car by OJZ Engineering. It too is a work of art, although due to packaging I supplied my own silencers as it was just easier, quicker and more cost effective, as I was only able to leave the car for just over a day.

Either way, given the fabrication that was carried out on mine and cost, £2k for a Cossie system still sounds like a lot.

OJZ also made my exhaust manifolds and there's a hell of a lot more work in that again due to packaging and the fact there is two of them. Even they cost nowhere near £2k

In fact now that I think about it....the manifolds and centre section to the rear axle both cost less than £2k.

gods knows steve but they go into harmonics and pressure ect before the build them its a proper thought out system then they turn up al the flanges and build it on the car
