Custom exhaust manufacturers? - JTaylor2005 - 12-02-2015
Hey all. Having decided what exhaust I want does anyone know some exhaust shops that can do mandrel bending and do a neat job?
Cheers, Jack
RE: Custom exhaust manufacturers? - bashbarnard - 12-02-2015
Location would help then we can tell you local places. For example bury st Edmunds near me at a14 exhausts. Will do a custom life time stainless. But it ain't cheap.
RE: Custom exhaust manufacturers? - JTaylor2005 - 12-02-2015
Midlands sort of area really but tbf I dont mind travelling anyway really. Just means I get to enjoy it on the way home haha
RE: Custom exhaust manufacturers? - Chris1357 - 12-02-2015
MIJ performance in Walsall, are ace been there many times over the years..
Great service at a great price.
RE: Custom exhaust manufacturers? - JTaylor2005 - 12-02-2015
I have heard lost of good stuff about them. I have also heard really bad stuff and seen photos as well haha. However definitly a lot more good than bad. Do u know if they do mandrel bent systems?
Cheers mate
RE: Custom exhaust manufacturers? - Chris1357 - 12-02-2015
Been there 5+ times and every time I have been happy with the service.
Not sure about the mandrel bent systems mind.
RE: Custom exhaust manufacturers? - Jonny81191 - 12-02-2015
I can build you a full stainless system if you come to me in Southampton. PM me if you're interested.
RE: Custom exhaust manufacturers? - JTaylor2005 - 12-02-2015
Have you got any photos of ones you have done before? How much would you charge for that sort of system?

I'll sort some out for you first thing tomorrow. And a price.. 2.5" turbo back with a "cat" and backbox yeah?
RE: Custom exhaust manufacturers? - JTaylor2005 - 12-02-2015
2.5 or 2.75" if possible. And yeah a "cat" haha. Back box nothing too restrictive just a nice neat outward rolled 3" or something to fill the bumper hole nicely
What bends do you use as well?
Cheers

I'd recommend 2.5" unless you plan going above stage 2, but it's entirely up to you. I'd be using mandrel bends and welding them in as I don't have a pipe bender, it's a technique I've used several times before with good results though.
I've found a couple pictures for you, both 3" straight through systems. The second one had a backbox added at a later date as it hadn't arrived when I made it. I can also add joins for you to make it easier to fit and remove.
RE: Custom exhaust manufacturers? - JTaylor2005 - 12-02-2015
Fair play that looks good that does. How much would something like that cost? Pm if you want
RE: Custom exhaust manufacturers? - Iceman299 - 12-02-2015
MIJ are a bunch of cowboys, used them a few times back in the day. John Ashley's is meant to be a decent place in Walsall
Custom exhaust manufacturers? - zx_volcane - 12-02-2015
Try http://exhaustpartsuk.com who are just round the corner from MIJ, they make and supply a lot of exhaust parts and also do systems, very good guys to deal with in there
bought lots of bits n bobs from them.I can recommend MIJ, used to live round the corner, found them very helpful and did a good job of my backbox. I would say pricing can vary here, I got a great price for my backbox but they wouldn't do the same for Anton when I recommended him there which was frustrating, I think they quoted him a lot lot more.
Ashley exhausts have a great rep but they're at the top end of the budget.
RE: Custom exhaust manufacturers? - shervo - 12-02-2015
Another vote for john ashleys if you want a top quality system! Bit pricey but worth it.
Also LTC tyres and exhausts in Brierley hill is where I had mine done so cheap because I know them.
RE: Custom exhaust manufacturers? - Iceman299 - 12-02-2015
A decat for the 306 was well over £100 from MIJ but £80 from john Ashley fitted. They seem more passionate and know what they're talking about. It comes across that way anyway
RE: Custom exhaust manufacturers? - shervo - 12-02-2015
Yeah john ashleys are more passionate. I remember them saying to my business partner that if he wants his finished in an hour then dont come because we like to make sure its perfect.
RE: Custom exhaust manufacturers? - Iceman299 - 12-02-2015
Where have they moved to now? They used to be opposite shell petrol station behind a performance shop ages back
RE: Custom exhaust manufacturers? - shervo - 12-02-2015
Couldn't tell you off the top of my head, as I say I use ltc tyres amd exhaust because I get them so cheap
RE: Custom exhaust manufacturers? - JTaylor2005 - 13-02-2015
Johnny81191 if you can PM me that would be good
cheers

I personally can't recommend longlife enough. Have one straight turbo back on the HDi, decat with a mid and a back box Bloody fantastic exhaust!
RE: Custom exhaust manufacturers? - Tom - 01-03-2015
Longlife are different people though arent they? Like a franchise? So one place could be great and another could be shit? It would depend on that specific dealer/technician making the exhaust...

It would but they do have to meet a certain standard and criteria before they're allowed to carry the brand/become a franchisee. Mine was done in reading and my god it's a fantastic job. The one in Worcester near me is also fantastic looking at the work done, I know ozonehostile is going there for his 406 coupe, if they do a bad job you just contact longlife to sort it out, but as far as I know the standards are set pretty high that the work is rarely shabby anywhere.
