I used to work at ashley exhausts mate, they do custom exhausts and manifolds.
They're ok, just make sure you buy stainless and not mild
The shop is located in Walsall, if you need contact details just pm me

Try Niel at T-logic 07780886815
http://www.thermallogic.co.uk/
He made an inconel tubular turbo manifold for me and an exhaust system for a YB.
Father and son team, i think you will find him more resonable than the above.
If you talk to him say hello from me.

dont mean to sound harsh but why does it need to be a custom system?
surely unless its a wild stupid power spec a off the shelf piper manifold would be ok!?

2. want a specific style and size of manifold that i have found works on zetecs
3. i dont want to be charged £1600 for a fiesta exhaust
4. all the fiesta systems i have found are only 2 inch id(st170 is 2.5in as std!!)
5. next year i am building another zetec (275bhp N/A) and dont want to be buying another manifold so if i spec this one right i can still use it.
hope this answers your question mate

i would have bent those first ones round the guys head,told him to keep em and not paid him.they are a bloody mess..... quicksilver ones look really nice and i know the guy in cleland your on about,used him a few times.
i am near hamilton mate.

2L, 50mm bodies, 12.1 compression!?
or crazier than that?
also you say you want bigger than 2" diameter, as the st170 is 2.5" but im sure n/a cars need a small bore, so im sure 2.5" would be plently
