Custom Stainless Exhaust

dag019 · Jul 2, 2019

Does anyone know any where in warwickshire that will do custom stainless exhausts?
Can only buy complete sets online and only need a front section, is also not standard so off the shelf is not so easy as is a td disco tdi converted. google seems to be coming up short, or I am not searching for the correct thing!

I had stainless headers made when car was in the uk garage did the work were not far from Oxford(near where car was stored) so they must be around. Oh they were not cheap V8.

But I put in “custom exhaust Warwickshire “ into goggle and came up with a few.

You may need to give either the car or the old 1 as a pattern.

I'm guessing a Steve Parker conversion pipe has rotted and you don't want to buy another expensive one of them?
I 'think' SP do a stainless one as well, at least someone does because I've seen it somewhere.
Mines rotted through but I managed to weld it up for now.

How old is your exhaust? My truck I just got rid of was 15 yrs old and still have factory exhaust , which was still fit as a fiddle

Steve Parker does but it's not cheap

So is it the SP downpipe you're after?

Quite the opposite, I have the horribly expensive stainless steel steve parker conversion pipe linked by @My Old Landy (very poor workmanship considering the price!) but after that I then have a cut down intermediate pipe, another intermediate pipe, and the rear silencer section (no centre silencer). The two section of intermediate pipes have a life span of about 18months before they have rusted through. They could be replaced with a single section but it would have to be custom made. I have not found anywhere online where you can buy single sections of stainless rather than a full system (most also appear to be tdi or newer) as I would also settle for buying two stainless sections of TD intermediate pipe same as the standard pipe I have now.
If I cannot find anywhere soon, the noise from the gaping rust hole is beginning to grate, I will continue as I have been with the £15 bripart sections.

I’ve got a similar dilemma - bought a stainless exhaust for my 110 Defender a few years ago. The quality of stainless used is very poor and he male ‘socket’ on the down pipe that fits into the female socket on the middle section has rotted away meaning exhaust is blowing. I’ve got round it temporarily by grinding the male end flat and fitting a gasket and lots of exhaust paste! The exhaust hangers have virtually corroded through and will also need replacing at some point - these definitely aren’t stainless which is very poor considering I bought a stainless exhaust. I’m willing to pay a bit extra for a good quality stainless exhaust and wonder what others recommend?
