Have a look here Chris. Not the cheapest but they look fantastic and they've fabbed exhausts for originals.

i had a quote off Simpson - in the region of £3k as I remember for stainless.

I went with Tony Law in Leeds eventually but they don't do stainless.

Try Hayward and Scott. They do stainless systems.

Hi Chris

Try Andy at Gran Fabrications, Bullwell, Nottingham. He made me a fantastic system (equal length - loads of power) for my racing E type over 20 years ago. I fitted one of his systems on another E type that I restored recently and the quality is excellent. Noise level is fine.
On my own GT I have a Tony Law system which is also excellent but not stainless. Andy only works with stainless these days. I believe he has the jigs to make up a GTD system.

ps tell him John recommended you!

If you are needing it for SVA remember to get rolled ends - they don't like sharp edges.

Also if you want to do track days the noise is important then perhaps Frank Catt.

Stainless is a great product but if my system as anthing to go by - noiser than mild steel and I can also confirm they radiate heat in a big way.

What kind of car do you need the exhaust done for?

[chris parker]

l have a tornado from andy sheldon with a 351w in so a standard exhaust from andy won't fit but i have always loved the look of a stainless exhaust system, plus the fact that it will be a one off purchase as well many thanks guys for your kind imformation please keep them coming it will hopefully not only help me but all the up and coming builders a few steps behind me via this fantastic site.

Chris,
Try contacting Mick Sollis. I believe he is starting to do his own exhaust systems for Southern GT now. Worth a try.

Hi Chris -

Janspeed of Salisbury will fabricate custom exhausts, in mild steel or stainless to your requirements. I've used them for a stainless GTD40 crossover system and specified the header length which they achieved exactly on all 8 cylinders.

It had a beautiful sound to it and they also made some straight through collectors/pipes for when circumstances allowed use of but do remember that stainless systems are inherently louder than those in mild steel so if track-days are your thing its something to consider. Janspeed reckoned on 2-3 dB louder on avg...

If you do approach them, please do mention the GTD40 Car Club as they have supported us well in the past.
