Jpward, if you get this group buy going im deffo0 up for it but if youngsyp comes up trumps then these guys sound good too
This is my elbow and pipe. I had this made a few months ago and is sitting in my basement. It will not fit with A/C, however its a nice piece of work.jpward said:Following on from this i was speaking to am-performance about elbows and front pipes with just a casual chat he can offer 3" elbows and/or 3" front pipes also option of screamer
Inital pricing has came back at £160 +P for both or £117 +P for just the J pipe based on 3-5 purchases which i thought was good,
So would anyone be interested as i might start a group buy?
I'm going to have it modified by a friend to fit with a/c.

Hello Canuck buddy If i were you i would only get a SS one made and 304 grade would be ok but welded using 316 grade rods due to heavy weather fluctuations. Also you should ask about mandrel bends or weld bends as these produce better flow than mitres and purge welded so less slag on the inside.Jeddeh said:
Sounds very technical i know but it isnt really, a SS pipe is a finished answer id never again on any car bike or 4 wheeler spend money on mild steel!
i don't know why you wouldn't believe me, if u want i can take photos for u kuz its that exact pipe in that photo from am-perf down in australia.jpward said:
i had asked for it to be made to fit a/c however i guess it was miscommunicated in the many emails that went back n forth.
nevertheless it was a good deal, i'm just choosing to not remove the a/c and would rather have the pipe modified to fit
i still have the emails and the original pictures andrew from am-perf sent to me

Right, got a preliminary price back from Hayward & Scott. As expected, it's not quite as good as the price JPWard has on his.
They want £300 + vat (£352.50) and that's for a minimum of 5 people buying. I'm not sure if that includes shipping or, if they need the car at their premises for fitment and fine tuning etc... But, I have mailed them back to find out.
To be completely honest with you, I'm a little disappointed with their response. For a start, they didn't answer all my questions and, I think the price is pretty poor. I can understand why they charged me so much as, it was the first one they had done and so, was truely bespoke. However, now they have the jig, they should be able to knock them up very quickly and as they do all the flange cutting and fabrication in house, costs should be quite low. I was expecting £300 inclusive as a maximum group buy figure, with their actual figure as the sort of maximum price for a 1 off job.
Hey ho, let's hope JPWard's supplier comes up trumps.
Just for info, the H&S pipes would be made for cars with A/C, as that's the jig they have from my car.

Hayward & Scott have been reading their own press a bit to much mate, they live on cloud cuckoo land as far as prices go :roll: :evil: , Just let them stick to the normal rich stupid clientele :roll:
Was that £350 just for an elbow ? :shock:.

No he was pricing the front pipe also errrm well i hope he was :shock:Odin said:
:lol:
Yep, that's right. The price was for the elbow and downpipe, with flexi up to the front of the cat/decat pipe.jpward said:
I think I agree with Rob on this one, they obviously don't need the custom if they come up with those sort of prices.
I will disagree with the rich stupid clientele bit though as, I've had 2 exhausts made by them in the past. Plus, I'm a GTiR owner, how could I be rich ?!

Why not spend money on mild steel mate? Surley you (i) could set the ginder to clean up any rough edges and with a coat of exhaust paint, i would assume this to be ok?jpward said:
I was a welder for 6 years but that was a long time ago now and so have been out of the game and out of experience but i was going to weld the ss flange to a mild steel 3" pipe. i know the metal properties are different but it will take and i wouldnt have thought it would be too week. what do you think on this?

You can weld mild to 304 with 316 rods but the problem is that when the mild exhaust heats up and it will a lot more with a non standard R paint even many layers of high heat stuff wont prevent it from degrading i know this first hand as i tried this before i got the goose and about a year or so and it was paper thin from about a 1.6mm wall tube. Then again i do live in the country so floods and muck on the road are common place.nitrosgti-r said:
But with installing the goose complete with SS bolts (can you tell i've a fetish for stainless
) ive never looked at it been on for near 3 years. So if i had of just not been so tight and bought the goose first time around i would not have wasted money on pipework.I think i also read somewhere that the inner walls of stainless remain smooth causing less turbulance over time which is the main reason most sports exhausts are made from 304 I'll see if i can find it...........

Mind you H&S are still cheaper than the £411 I paid for the bl00dy Janspeed front pipe :doh: :shock: :shock: .
But still if they already have a jig they should come in a lot cheaper than that :? .
