Technical Stainless steel exhaust sections?

[petel]

Hello all.
I recall reading references within various threads ( though I cannot seem to find them now ) as to companies which will manufacture exhaust sections or systems in stainless steel.

Can anyone please refresh my memory as to who and where any such company might be?

Many thanks, Petel

Powerflow, National company that works through local franchises. they do custom stainless exhausts they just build up to your spec on the car. Got the back section done on mine about 5 years ago and cost about £140 so not cheap but very neat and still looks like new. Mine was done by a place in Stirling, Scotland so if that's local for you, highly recommended. Otherwise google it, I'm sure you'll have a local place.

Many thanks to Firstcar.

Am aware of Powerflow and seeking alternatives.

Thank you.

i am sure there are better more smaller companies too but i can't remember what area you are in, there is a good one is south wales and one in enfield too

Pete I know your aware of Powerflow but just to add I had both the Barchetta (cat/back) BMW 735 (full system decat) fitted with the powerflow.

They were excellent but I also had to take both back for minor re adjustments which were fully honoured. Only problem with them is that the system will only be as good as the franchised fitter so only fit on recommendation.

Your local exhaust fitters will probably know and occasionaly use someone local to you so worth asking.

Hello Alan and many thanks for your reply.

It is as a result of not being able to get any sense at a local level that I posted my request for information. We do have a Powerflow agent in the town, though their reputation preceds them.

Best regards.

Sorry to hear that Pete.

I very much doubt I could recommend anywhere close as I'm in the @r$e end of nowhere but I'm sure you will get a good recommendation if you keep looking......Good luck.

 

[dave]

maybe better off asking in the Lesiure Lounge as there is more people to see the thread then

 

[petel]

Thanks to Alan and Dave.
There is another Powerflow agent in the next county, am checking on their " reputation " at this time.

In the mean time, if anyone can advise of a suitable company, small or large, not one that can be found in a Google search, it would be appreciated.
Thank you and regards.

 

[dave]

we still dont know what area though?

 

[petel]

Hello Dave.
It does not matter what area, anywhere on mainland UK will do.
Regards.

These were the one's I had fitted just for your interest...

Have to admitt I wasn't hugely happy with the pipes into the mid section BUT they sounded superb and loosing the cat certainly added to the response.

This is the Enfield crew that Dave mentioned

I've seen thier work and spoken to them at the Trax show and seen manifolds and systems fitted to peugeot 206's at Red-dot. They looked very good and am considering getting them to make a manifold/system for twinky next year.

Just thought I'd put my input into this as I have had a longlife exhaust fitted and I felt it lost power a touch from the standard. I think they concentrate more on sound and looks tbh (and you'll get loud no matter what you ask for!).
Recommend powerflow.... I have heard better things from ppl using them.

Hope that is of help, perhaps you'll see the longlife work next meet I can make!

Cheers,
Si

Many thanks to Alan for the pictures also to Panda Sport and Pandamonius for their input.

Must admitt that a few years ago I thought about giving the Sisley a full stainless system BUT the panda has such an original noise nothing else seems to sound like them and I didn't want to loose that so I decided against.
