I've been speaking to local exhaust shop today about my vrs and how the exhuasts from the main guys are ridiculously expensive and he told me to try and gauge how much interest there would be if he was to start making them. He is a very well recommended bloke around here and does a massive range of bespoke exhausts. They would arrive to you just like any other one would, all ready to fit.

Based on a rough estimate for my estate using a decat system would come in at around £450-500 he thinks although i will have a definite price next week once he has had a proper look at my car. I believe the only difference between the hatch and estate exhausts are that the estate has an extension piece at the back, so he could easily make ones for the hatch aswell. Sports cats can also be added although i will need to check the price. I'm hoping to finalise early this coming week.

As i said i am just gaining interest before i go back to him, as he said it works out cheaper for the customer if its made off a jig, which is only worthwhile if the numbers are high enough.

I apologise if this breaks any forum rules. Please let me know if it does.

He will be offering a product into a pretty limited market where several other companies are selling much the same product.

Often they think at the outset they can offer them cheaper than the that from Miltek, Jetex or Cobra.

Choice is always good though.

 

This Video was in a recent thread from a member that had a Exhaust Built by someone that was going to do much the same.

Any potential group buys need to be approved and in the correct part of the forum

Cant see that there is much of a market left for vRS exhausts. The time & expense in setting up a purpose made jig would surely not be worth it?

I had my Stainless Steel (T304 spec), 70mm dia tubing  catback with no central resonator made for £295, far cheaper than Miltek & just as good as far as I can tell.

Problem is theres so many aftermarket custom exhaust places around theres no point buying one off the shelf when they can be made and fitted cheaper than the latter can be delivered for?
