Fabbing Up An Exhaust

[johniban 59 1 Cars]

I need to fab up an exhaust system for my 205 gti6.

 

Where does everyone buy their exhaust parts from? im thinking mild steel as im going to paint it anyway and the welds will rust if its stainless steel.

 

my manifold isn't a standard gti6 item its a 4-2-1 aftermarket mild steel item, the outlet is 60mm so about 2.25 inch,

 

Also i need a rear box that i can add my own tail pipe, a 2.25 inch tail pipe but looking light the original

Not the cheapest but jetex has a nice selection and it's decent quality too

As said above jetex mild steel is good stuff. I made a section of exhaust up with their various bends, which was then painted and it's quite hard to see where the joints are, with it painted black, unless your really looking. I had to do this myself, as time after time being let down by custom exhaust places promising to do one for me, for weeks on end.

 

I got my selection of stuff from here. Maybe not the cheapest, but I always get good service and delivery time to Northern Ireland from Merlin, which is why I use them time after time for Motorsport parts.

i have to been let down by various exhaust company's who offer a customer service yet cannot seem to reply to emails or pick up the phone.

 

ive found a website on ebay offering various boxes and bends similar to jetex but around half the price witch i will try out

I used exhaust uk for my boxes, pipe and mandrel bends. Quality is good, has been on the car a good few years now.

thanks for the link, doesnt have to be stainless steel as i have mild steel welding wire so will rust anyway if left unprotected, and i want to paint it

[welshpug 1,657]

easy, bung some SS wire in it

i could do that i supose, but the manifold is mild steel so not really that interested in a S/S system to be ohnest
