ok, mnr are too busy to make an exhaust before 23rd when i have a trackday. MK want £400 for one, which is a little more than id rather pay. Does anyone know a place that can make exhausts fast or cheap or both, in yorkshire?! Alternatively, i might make my own, but it would have to be in mild steel, so not ideal.

The kit car company are not quite in yorkshire but had an exhaust made for me both quickly and cheaply. They got it wrong, making it 26" rather than 29" but it did turn out to be 5dB quieter than my old can so I'm happy enough. It wasn't polished though which is perhaps why it was cheaper than the others I looked at.

tony law have a 5 week wait but estimated £350. My friend put me in touch with a bloke called baz, who needed 8 weeks! So my target of 1 week looks a little unlikely! Might end up taking the subaru rather than the locost at this rate

The alternative is dairy bends and a tig, but that seems a little daunting. I learn fast, but possibly not that fast!

ps its a manifold i need, not a can. Ive spotted a nice carbon race can on fleebay.

Raven racing didnt answer the phone, but their website suggests they just do fancy cans. Am i wrong?!

Any more ideas?

Might be worth giving RAW a call. Not sure if they've done a ZX9 but they usually have a few manifolds in stock. Got my R1 one from them off the shelf. They also do a nice large silencer. Not the lightest but very quiet.

good idea that, but it seems they dont stock them. The chap who answered the phone sounded like the cleaner though, didnt know much, so maybe the chap in the background just got bored! I'll try STM too, im still hopeful

What engine is it for? Do you want bespoke or off the shelf?

You'll often find Fisher Sports cars have std exhausts off the shelf, as (I guess) will ST etc?
