stainless steel exhaust (pipe) makers/suppliers/fitters

[na]

hi all, anyone know a good stainless steel exhaust (pipe) makers/suppliers/fitters in the Northampton (/shire) area please

I just need a s/s pipe to go from my manifold to back box, I'm fed up of the off-the-shelf pipe I can buy for the car that just doesn't quite fit so am looking for a custom made piece of flared and bent s/s pipe that'll fit and remain fitted

neither of the two exhaust manufacturers dealt with such things when I last tried a couple of years ago

thanks for the heads up, just looked at their site and they may be above making and fitting a connecting pipe but I'll ask, plus I could look for the Gun Dog Brewery

I think I've seen that orange Porsche photoed on PH, perhaps a SS

Where's that?

What about Hoggley's at Litchborough?

I'm told their beer is a bit home brew standard but I've yet to try it

Roy would probably prefer to meet in the Old Redl Lion where he'd be paying and drinking his own beer, funny lot these microbrewers

Nigel , I took my red vx 7 to BTB must be 2 yrs ago at least as Joe Ellis had the jig for a 'proper manifold & Exhaust' for the vx . By god did he make a beautiful creation and it sounds evil too , much recomended .Thank you Joe by the way it gets many admiring looks .( 7 bhp increase on old system )

By the way Nigel , had a good look at the Midgets at the Donnington historic festival on sat and am still looking at them on pistonheads and in the classic & sportscar mag !

That's a coincidence, I was there on Saturday as well, and managed to stay long enough for the last 2 races, which were very entertaining. I especially enjoyed seeing the TWR XJS being given the beans by Alex Buncombe, as I never saw the beast race in it's day. If anyone went on Sunday, can they tell me who won the U2TC race?
