Re: exhaust pipes

Hi Tony,
I made mine out of 304 ss. There is a supplier called ABC Metals in Stoke on Trent (DB's mate) - can't remember the chaps name - very helpful. I designed an exhaust flange to cater for the metric equivalent of 13/4 tube, this was drawn in AUTOCAD on his profile cutting machine and stored so he can replicate the design - standard flanges were too narrow for the ports of my V8Development heads so these are more rounded to take the tube diameter. I bought a number of short radius bends to cut up as required for bends, DB supplied the tube. Obviously you need the welding kit but I recon I built a set of headers for about 120 quid. I've attached a cople of pics.
Hope this helps.:thumb:
