3rd'd for pipecraft basildon.

 

Pipecraft done a cracking job with mine.... And very reasonable money too!

 

flow tec i used loads, do a good job

 

Most quotes i've had are between £600-£950 so far. Sound about right ?

 

JAC Performance exhausts in Nottingham. Makes many rally and race car exhausts inc grass trackers and bikes. Give him a call. It'll be cheaper than £600 I can tell you. Your choice of can and tail pipe. He uses carbon and titanium too

 

Please say you said that for comedy value? This is their attempt at removing my centre silencer, whole system ended up being scrapped as depsite me standing under the car and saying what I wannted they did it their way.

 

Thats shocking ! How long ago was that done ? I heard they got taken over last year.. ?

 

i paid about £360 for my 2.5" cat back fully custom with a single silencer with 3" rolled out tail from pipe craft. and its bloody good fab work.

 

Probably 3 years or so ago. Unless they are restaffed and no longer doing PowerFlow I would avoid them like I would dipping your gentlemans sausage in a tank full of very hungry pirhana whilst going "hey fishy, come and get dinner"

 

What grade of steel was it the used? Surley not T306?

 

I think they just used a rusty old sign post .

 

Top Gear scratch built an exhaust for my S1 starting with lengths of stainless steel like drainpipes. Took thru the rear suspension (the proper route) with flattened edges to clear the suspension arm and I had no problems at all. Was still in great condition when the car was sold nearly 10 years later.

Heard stories that their stainless welding specialist left and went to SCC - Don't know how true that is though.

 

What sort of money do PipeCraft charge for an exhaust. I want to change the one on my Audi S5 (standard one very quiet), Milltek want £750 for an exhaust, surely Pipecraft would be cheaper?!

 

spoke to them earlier and for mine its a full system turbo back with an external wastegate plumbing back into the downpipe, 1 silencer (as im using it for track) and a 3" outward rolled backbox, they said £450ish. but 2 1/2" is the largest bore they do.

 

You have to be one of only a few satisfied customers. Most people who aren't young cruisers think they produce utter shit. They scratch built a system for an S4 user on an Audi forum I use, after I advised him to steer clear. It was on the car 3 months before being chopped up and dropped in the skip.

They use shite quality materials, use compression bends and seem to have no idea what an exhaust is or how it works.

When I've had a car with a system of theirs for braking I destroy the exhaust instead of sell it regardless of interest as I'm not prepared to tarnish my name selling such poor quality rubbish.

If you were happy then great, I cannot and will not recommend their services as long as I have air in my lungs.

 

just stay away from powerflow

 

was just going to mention Simpsons - and they are down the road from me in slough

 

I phoned them and they said they dont make them for road cars. Think im going with edwards motorsport. He was at simpsons for a long time. His work looks very good and is well priced

 

Simpsons in langley......hmmmm took my car there and they quoted £1400!!!! I draw a diagram if what i wanted from turbos back....no manifolds....made it myself with parts from a magnaflow dealer in colnbrook for £200!!!
Made a few exhaust up now as a hobby.just done a masserati...sounds pretty angry
