Where to buy a Zetec exhaust???

Hello,

Just sorted out my rad, ECU and other bits for the engine, i was wondering if anyone knew of a decent company that supplies a complete Zetec exhaust for a silvertop engine.

The cheaper the better obviously lol

Not necessarily cheap, but you could start by looking in Westfield Sportscar's online shop.

I got my manifold and exhaust from robin hood.

Passed the IVA with them.
Didn't need any welding.
Cheers

Trouble is a complete exhaust will need to be made up to suit indivdual vehcles, based on engine position, angle and exit point. Buying an 'off the shelf' one from mk/raw etc may end up not suiting your car.
Maybe better of speaking to a specialist menufacturer?

I really would NOT buy the tiger manifold.. Mine is from Fisher sports cars but I did need to make up a link pipe.

I bought my manifold from Fisher (already had the rest of it), nice bit of kit and not too pricey. Our local fabricators (who do a good job I must admit) wanted almost twice as much as Fisher for the manifold.

Can I ask why not the tiger exhaust? I'm not trying to cause an arguement I'm just curious. Have you had a bad experience with them?
I only ask because my system is well made and slots together a treat. Not to mention the sound, which is awesome

Ive owned both.

With the tiger the quality and the welding was very poor but its did fit together just.

BUT it exits where the diagonal bars are in a locost. You will end up choping the chassis for it.
