Downpipes to tailpipe or Manifold to tailpipe?

Is there nothing off the shelf?

My Lotus has a full SS system from BTB and it's excellent - fits as snug as the original and is regarded as an OE replacement insurance wise (not a performance modification)

However for the track day Monza I used A14 tyres in Bury St Eds (powerflow franchise) and it's not bad for a made to fit with whats on the shelf system (albeit minimally silenced which was my requirement)

Thanks for link Ian, I see that they list an pre war chevy amongst their previous work and most likely would be more than capable of 'doing me an system'. I need from the manifold joint to tailpipe including silencer box. Mild steel system will be my chosen material for my 1928 road going stead.

Blimey that is vintage - Not sure BTB or even A14 do mild steel but I'd cetainly speak to Joe Ellis who runs BTB as he's a really nice guy who is passionate about his cars

I had Paul Gooderham do me a complete bespoke system from manifold through to silencers, but it was in stainless. He might do mild steel drop him a line. Click here for his details.

Andy at Zorst-tec have a google. Bespoke full systems to o.E replica boxex out of Stainless. Also any shape size or design you want. Legends in the Mackies crowd but also good at the serious stuff.

You could give Nick Paravani who's based around Attleborough way a look. He made a bespoke exhaust for a motorbike of mine. His work is second to none and was a very reaonable price.

It was a few years ago but I could probably find contact details if you'd like them smile

I used Hayward and Scott for my '64 Merc 220SEb. They did a lovely job.

The guys up at Auto Technic thought the work was superb.

Thanks for all the leads, have booked car into Longlife at Norwich for stainless system to be fabricated and fitted. They are quick off the mark with quote that is extremely favourable at 399 pounds all in.
Interestingly one Company in Essex (not recommended or mentioned in the list here) came back to me with an 500 pounds + VAT quote AND wanted three days with the car to do the jobyikes Its an relatively simple one tube and silencer box with tail pipe job!
