Where to buy a length of exhaust pipe?

[Grin-a-lot]

I'm after a length of stainless steel exhaust pipe to run from the collector to the inlet of the silencer.  It will need to have a step up transition at one end as the entrance of the silencer is a larger diameter than the collector.  It will also need a couple of kinks to pull it away from the side of the car a little.

Do any of the worldly-wise bristol dweller on the forum have any recommendations of who is worth contacting to do this.

I have some pipe from Simpsons Exhausts but it depends on the size.

Other than that try Merlin at Combe

Well its to fit the silencer that I had off you and the rest of the system is a smaller diameter, I have a couple of step down pieces that might do the job in that respect.

Theres got be hundreds of steel suppliers in Bristol that would cut you a length of stainless pipe I'm sure?

I recently got a piece of 2 1/4" stainless exhaust pipe here:

They're just off junction 18 (Bath exit) of the M4.

They have plenty of sizes in stock and a very impressive machine that can bend and swage the pipe.

Reccomend Infinity, very helpfull

The pipe I have is manifold rather than collector size. Try ebay?

Try Joe on ads@stainless316.fsnet.co.uk.  He's not local but he's a kit car owner/builder. 

He will certainly be able to do the kink, stretch and supply.  He is very busy however so that may be a limiting factor.

All sorted now, Infinity were v helpful, did it on the spot so all good on the exhaust front.  Only snag now is that I've got an exhaust of 3colours: blue-ing at the collector, unpolished new bit and polished silencer!

Time for some metal polish, does the spending never stop?

It appears not, any recommendations (for polish not spending stopping)?

We have 10% off at Motoman so that should help ease the blow.  With regards to products I tend to use Auto Glym products for car care but have never really polished metal.  I'm sure other members have or you may wish to start a new thread asking for advice.
