I can highly recommend Simpson Race Exhausts in Slough, it won't be cheap (budget on £6-700 for a full system including silencer) but the
quality of workmanship is second to none IMHO.

Nice silencer but i see why you wish to change your manifold!
By the way, Have you had it noise tested for trackdays etc? If so how loud was it and who did the silencer come from?
I have a thread going on exhausts aswell.
Cheers

details are above the can was from dave at power speed.
done a few checks its aorund 100 db but it is more engine noise now than exhaust noise,
would go to him for a manifold but the price he is asking i wouldnt pay so am looking elsewhere.
the silencer was £315 all in including fitting and link pipe,
its is fully repackable and quite he can do all sizes of cans good company,
cheers

If you want optimum performance, go for a Tony Law exhaust. They only do them in mild and not stainless, unless you have a turbo fitted. They are
based in Leeds however, so it's a long way for you to travel. Well worth the money though IMO.

exhaust manifolds
MK engineering not the sportscars will sell you a mild steel exhaust in kit form correctly bent for around £40 plus P+P its a bit of a trial and error
process but I was able to make mine look really neat with time and patience and a can of VHT exhaust paint.
