Stainless Steel Exhausts
albertz - 29/7/04 at 06:40 PM

Can anyone recommend a suitable supplier of pre-formed stainless steel bends and various other parts to allow me to make up a custom exhaust?

Due to my location, it is near impossible (not to mention impractical) to get my part finished car to a place that can make up a custom exhaust. I don't want to have to pay 300-400 quid for the exhaust ready made.

Surely there must be an alternative............

I would prefer to keep to stainless, as the exhaust is so visible on a Locost, i don't really want a rusty MS one.

What has everyone else done? Please give me some help.

That burns stainless is a pretty good place (not many places stock 321, fewer still inconel and titanium).

Rather closer to your requirements though, try Hygenic Process Equipment www.hpe.co.uk - I bought all my bends and straight SS from them, and the price was very good (see my photo archive for the finished product).
