New stainless full system

Post by Columbo »

Anyone know of any companies making stainless steel full system exhausts?

I'd prefer straight through pipes to release a little extra power. (I am aware I'll have to tweak the fuelling.)
Bonus points if they take slip on cans rather than having a mounting plate.

How does the mounting plate affect choice of can?

sandy pipes are 52mm outer diameter and come with a removable 3-bolt adaptor plate, so you can use 52mm slip-on cans, or you can use (as stock) 72-~69mm centre-to-centre distances for 3-bolt cans, if you fancy a bit of work with a drill, you can accomodate 75mm centre-to centre bolt holes, and can go down to ~65mm centre-to-centre if necessary.

Right. I want a slip-on system to expand my choice of end can.

Any suggestions?

Also, I spoke to MHP.
4-6 weeks for a full system in stainless steel with an ally can.
Will set you back just short for £1k.

I agree that MHP kicks ass but I don't have £1000 to spend on an exhaust :P

I need a road legal stainless steel system that will take a slip-on can.
I'd prefer to buy new but I'd settle for something used in good condition.

That's a race system.
I need a road legal one.

I'm not concerned with it being marked road legal and all that jazz.

I'm 33bhp restricted so it's important it doesnt go over so I can get a certificate.

why do you want a full system with 33bhp restriction? it will probably push you a small bit over, just wait your 2 years out and then fit whatever you want...

I want a stainless system because mild steel rots like a bitch!
I''ve decided to get it restricted and certified and THEN fit the stainless system.

Not exactly legal but it'll be better than pipes with holes in them!
