Default exhausts

Hi, Picked up the trial exhausts today and will profile up the welds and paint after checking there fitment to the carrier. Will post up some pics in the next few days. The boxs are zinc coated steel and the tubes are all stainless, To make an all stainless system would be in excess of £500 so this is an afordable alternative.

I am guessing the original systems would of been painted in matt silver/grey?.

I am having seven sets made in total. The guy has made a jig for producing them.

kevin.

Default Trial exhaust fitted

I have fitted the first made exhaust. The finished supplied ones will have stainless pipe right back to the floor casting, all welded.

The final price is a little more than expected £350 a set.

I am making 8 sets in total, two for myself so 6 sets are up for grabs, I will be taking two sets to take to Beltring, one set for barry if he still wants a set.

Send me an e-mail if you want a set, I know shaun wants a set so first come first served on the remaining 4 sets.

kevin.

Default Last Set up for grabs.

Hi, I have only one set left for sale, anyone want them then please PM me.

I am also looking to make the downcomers from the exhaust manifold to the floor casting, All stainless steel. I need an original undamaged one to copy (left and right) if someone has one to lend me.

Thanks Kevin.
