Been looking into custom exhaust in 3" with Manderal bends for a while and have been getting quotes from various places! Spoke to a few companies at autosport show in January and one company that spent time explaining my best options was Birchills Automotive Exhaust Products but they only supply parts I asked for a local dealers and they said "longlife oxford" are the best and the fabrication is second to none unlike other longlife dealers So a phone call to Rob at longlife, which he spent alot of time again saying what would work for me Then a nice quote over the phone lmao and Monty was then pre booked in and talk a little more in detail.....

Dropped Monty off 2 weeks ago (I said keep it till the end of the month) and I picked him up today..... All I can say is what great fabrication :eek: truly epic Rob kept me upto date every couple of days.

So the end result was a modified downpipe (as the original 3" downpipe was really low) , complete system in 3" with 1 custom centre box and custom backbox = alot quieter system.... roll on track days

Some really crap quality photos from phone, will upload some better ones soon!

New Tail pipe, same size but outward rolled



Back box



Crap picture of center section



Down pipe clearance which I never had before



All in all really happy with the system and service, would recommend them to anyone!!
