Default Anyone recommend a custom exhaust place

Got to take the fez for a full custom exhaust and boost pipe
Also need the manifold cut from the accumulator to turbo so it can be extended so the position of the turbo can be changed and since fitting the focus rs box the there ain't much room for the boost pipe to go under the turbo to inlet

I want a side exit fitted straight through
Boost pipe making
Manifold extended


What u guys recommend
Don't care how far I have to travell as long as the car is cared for and the exhaust is shit hot

I had a Powerflow exhaust scratch built some years ago for my S1 RST by Top Gear in St Albans - Beautiful job and praised by MOT man each year. Recently went back for some work on the stainless Magnex system on my MK6/7 RS2000 4x4 - As helpful as ever and I was pleased to see the place being improved by new management.

Have heard it's all down to the fitters/welders skill.

I'd recommend without hesitation.
Cheers, John

JP Exhausts in Macclesfield, bit far for you but very high quality workmanship. IIRC they did all the exhausts for the wildcat, tomcat etc. offroaders

i know a few people who have had exhausts done recently by these guys and are very impressed.

Cracking job the guys do there, can see why they would get recomended. Just look at the quality of the job they did removing my centre silencer.



Despite better judgement I let them have a crack. Even stood under the car and told them how I wanted it doing. They did it their way and the system rotated on the flex destroying it. They kindly offered to sort a new one for Ł80. Hmmm, me pay for their fuck up?? My brother got the car in the air and I was greeted by the abortion shown above. Had to source a replacement system because of the mess they made.

I would rather take a shit in my hands and clap!

OJZ Engineering, first class job.

Although anywhere decent you will need to book well in advance, could be weeks or even months.

If you find somewhere that can do it straight away, I'd be worried, as they probably arent busy for a reason.

JC Weldfab near Santa Pod, stunning workmanship and great lads, they do all sorts including F1, BTCC, etc but are still realistic with their prices. It would be the kind of exhaust you would want a mirrored floor for!

Absolute best I have ever seen would be Lance at OJZ Engineering.
After that I'd look at Nortech, Primary Designs, BTB, Simpson's etc.. All depending on location.
