hello, me and greggors now have our Mk indy and just have a few more bits to get, the exhaust for one thing,
At mk its £300 for a stainless one which seems really expensive for an exhaust ! would i be better to get the MK down pipe and 4 into 1 and then get my own silencer? i was thinking about getting a bike carbon fibre silencer ? could i fit this and would it work in the same way as the MK one its inplace of ?

The lolocost one is not stainless so that is no use but are there any other manurfactuers that do a stainless exhaust for less than £300 ?!?

Thanks Rich

I think the lolocost silencer is stainless (see here) - its basically the same one they've always done with the RH kits. Mine has held up well stainless-wise but it's not particularly quiet and it's not re-packable/openable - unless you cut and re-weld. Actually, there's a thought - I wonder if I could open it up, re-pack it and then rebuild it in a re-usable way.

The MK S/S zorst system is cheap at £300, i was quoted £700 by wunoff exhausts for basically the same set up.
Custom chrome wanted £300 + for mild steel kit you put together.

i got mine off martin at stafford and at £300 i snatched his f#####g hand off even paid in advance cos i thought the price was wrong

Same here its a nice pipe too.

Just finished fitting it this week looks the nuts.

Zetec has same type,have a look on his archive.

Is the MK one repackable?

Yep its repackable and comes with nice S/S fittings for box and tail pipe too.

as soon as i collar someone with a digi-cam i'll post some pics

£300 as said is cheap. I got mine made by the same bloke who does MK ones, first class job. As said I was getting quotes for £700! You need to remember these are low volume product runs. Each has to be made almost entirely by hand, no robots to cut/bend/weld.

Dont worry about any pics. We went up to MK at the weekend to pic up our kit, and i had a good butchers at the black indy pinto. Im guessing that is the exhaust MK sell.

yeah but i think that one is chromed ? didnt MK spend loads of money chroming that Black indy pinto ?

I read it somewhere on this forum....

is that the standared finish of the MK exhaust ? is that the finish of stainless?

stainless comes up like chrome if you put in a lot of work but don't forget it also scratches like ally solvol is great
tony

does anyone ha any pictures of the mk exhaust??
thanks

we got our exhaust its nice, only porblem MK forgot the Bend tail pipe ! Doh maybe one day we will get it in the post..........................................

Its at greggors house not on the car you will have to get him to take some pics

I made my own out of mild steel, it cost £36.70 all in including the silencer.

I may change the engine post SVA so I don't want to shell out loads!

This chap near Lincoln will make one up for you, but he will also give you a contact for another firm in the same trading estate who can also do exhausts. He bent my 2" stainless for my roll bar last week while I waited and he also has experience of Kit cars with an MK and a Sumo in for some work or other.

Also has anyone thought of making a repackable box out of Carbon fibre?? I have thought of it as my header will only be one pipe from the turbo to the silencer (although it will be the size of a drain pipe!) and the silencer will be the most expensive bit of the whole thing.

To mention the unmentionable... a complete exhaust system from Tiger is about £300 plus VAT.....
