Default Just had a full (turbo back) 3" stainless exhaust made !!

After ringing approx ten company's in the south of the uk to get quotes for my custom exhaust, I found 'Edwards motorsport' by luck on a mk1 escort page and luckily for me he was 10 miles away from where i live. The cheapest quote i had for a full 3" stainless custom system was £950 (plus vat). This was for a full system turbo back with external wastegate plumbed back into the downpipe, two silencers (for track use) with a 3" outward rolled tip.
Edwards motorsport made me the full exhaust system to the above spec, made a custom rear gearbox mount for focus rs gearbox and 2 custom made alloy boost hoses for £950 ! And his work is second to none !
here are some pic's











well happy with the work !

He had the car for 2 weeks and done it in between his other work. He makes custom alloy tanks (fuel,oil etc) , full space frames, roll cages to group a spec and exhausts. He worked at simpsons race exhaust for a few years and went on his own really knows his stuff

Surprised there's not a flexi before that first silencer. Especially where it's solid mounted.

a flexi would be recomended and also a turbo hanger as when it all gets hot theres a lot of weight on that manifold, i'd drop your mani maker a pm but not for 2 weeks as he's sunning himself as of yesterday

As said. Needs a flexi. You've got an il most solid exhaust, mounted to an engine that's going to rock back and forwards every time you accelerate, brake, and change gear.

Looks very sexy did the mount help with the gearbox clearance issue you was having?
