I've been thinking about changing a bit of the exhaust setup on the Tuscan recently so looking for any recommendations for high quality custom exhaust fabricators in/near Berkshire.
It's nothing overly complicated but will involve removing the 2 back boxes (which are empty anyway!) and replacing sections including 90degree bends. I'm looking for somewhere that can listen to the exhaust and understand the changes i'd like to make to the exhaust note and fit something accordingly.

I've read a couple of good reviews for these guys: www.simpsonraceexhausts.com so will pop over and discuss the options with them but has anyone got any other suggestions/recommendations?

Simpson Race Exhausts are good but are £££££ A mate used to work there so can't get discount.

A mate of mine has his own company 'Edwards Motorsport' They've done fab for all sorts, RS500 touring cars to a Skyline engined Elise ! All custom to your spec.

They will be far cheaper than Simpsons.

Both of those look great so will give them a call during the week. Edwards is probably a little more like what i'm after but it'll depend on the costs I guess.
I'm having the car mapped in March so need to get the exhaust done first really. This is what the back boxes are like at the moment. Pretty sure they're to blame for the boominess and also for the tinny sound when I unleash the popping and banging on the overrun. Current plan is to ditch these for some 90degree bends, and put some small silencer boxes further up the system to take a bit of the boominess out.

Be interested in result Mr Chips, along with price.. Same problem with Sag rear silencer, boominess etc. and not quite the right note.
