Was going to get an exhaust done by them years ago. Went up to check them out and have a chat. They kept me hanging around for ages, seemed completely uninterested in my work, and then quoted a price twice what I'd had elsewhere. I told them where to stick it!

I have a silencer made by them - it works, is small and does the job.

It is also made in a weird way that makes repacking difficult, resulting in a bit of open-heart surgery followed spot welding (courtesy of 907) that makes life SO much easier!

So, to summarise, they're an odd-ball company that makes decent products - but I'm not sure I'd like to do business with them too often...

I dealt with them a few years ago and they where fantastic with me. I wanted a bit of 2" chrome tube bending to 15 degrees and then one end flairing.

Spent ages chatting to them and a bloke who'd built a v8 mgb. As i didn't have the manifold it was connecting too he made the flair 'small' and said come back if it doesn't fit. It didn't so he waited for me after he'd closed one evening and did it. All for a tenner & i got a couple of bits to make an exhaust hanger.

If you do want to go and see them - make sure you check the location as they moved a few years ago.

Many years ago (15)I ordered a single chromed sidewinder exhaust from them for my jeep it took 3 months for them to deliver it after a load of phone calls, aggro and threats. When it turned up it was a twin system ( I was only charged for a single)I kept my gob shut fitted one side to the jeep stored the other half and now its fitted to the locost.
I'll say no more.
Cheers,
Bob
