Sorry if this is the wrong place, but bodyshop seemed the next closest bet, but its not really to to with body work lol.
I need an exhaust and it needs a larger bore than the biggest ones you can get off the shelf for my Seicento.
£600 for a custom one with a cat and 2-3 weeks wait I've been off the road long enought lol
So I have decided to try and build on myself and and looking for tip, tricks and advice!
I can get a sports cat cheap, and will buy a Clarke E100 gas mig welder (£150 from machine mart on sunday..vat free day)
Really all I will need is piping, flex section and a lot of welding practice lol.
I can get aluminized steel or stainless parts from here
I'd imagine its just a case of juying the right bends, cutting them, welding together and fitting.
Has anyone other than emma's dad done it and has anyone got any opinions, advice tips, or noticed something obvious I've missed?
What materail would you recommend? What diameter (think 2")?
Think it will come in at less than the £600 mark? I recon so even with cock ups.
Cheers for any advice
