Need a Good Value Exhasut which one ?
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.

£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.

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

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!
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

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.....
