6x4 oval Powerflow system, Has it custom made as soon as the car was sorted from it's conversion. Blueflame system made way for it!
Never heard a peep from it banging on the beam etc. Worth every penny without doubt! hehe.

Fad, for your information we are now a fully accredited Stainless Steel Fabrication Workshop and have reached the level of 'centre of excellence' most of our exhaust fabrication is carried out by a fully coded tig welder. We have also recently been given a 2nd year contract from 2 local motorsport teams to service their cars as well as build exhaust and fabricate other parts for them. Last month we were certified as an approved skills training workshop and learning environment by Gateshead college and are a fully certified Cobra Sport and Exhausts UK Exhaust manufacturer.

All I hear is bollocks in the above, race teams? Tell me why people like Broster and Brad Fincham are still at uni doing motorsport degrees when you can just do all this with no real experience?
Any way back to the original post, my initial comment wasnt aimed at you as I have a general hate for custom exhausts as they will NEVER be as good as a decent off the shelf item thats had hours spent on design and testing.
Unless its a Haywood and Scott or BTB item I dont really belive custom exhausts are that great as they all use generic boxes for example I do belive that powerflow/longlife/Cobra FRANCHISES (thats what you are Dave lets be fair) use the same boxes and pipework and quality is as the discretion of the branch/worker.

Go for an off the shelf item as it will fit the car fine, something like the Jetex above or a miltek would be

The only thing that worries me about getting an off the shelf item is the manifold i have is a 2.5" it's not going to mate up to an off the shelf unless is specially made is it ??
