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

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"

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.

PassionFord Post Whore!!
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.

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.
