Infinty Exhauts in Weston Super Mare offered to custom make one for mine for Ł120. Obviously depends where you live to who makes it.

I am giving them the old one for a pattern though!!!

just get a s2 stainless down pipe and measure it to the to the rear of the fiesta on... so you just mate the two together..

That has been done to mine at the moment but the problem with that and i know its minimal but it will reduce strength!!!

Obviously go for a custom made so it is all one piece to add rigidity to the system!! (my personal opinion)

My bro made mine out of an S2 downpipe. He managed to shape it to clear the brace between the wishbones and retained the Magnex's flexi pipe

Cost me a grand total of Ł35 and Ł20 of that was thrown to my bro for doing it

Cool, so it's not that tricky, I've got a stainless s2 downpipe. Will have a crack see what we can come up with.

Cheers Guys
