Who To Use For Stainless Exhaust / Mufflers In Essex?
Hello Guys!
I'm real pleased with my D2 S8 in general, bar the slush box and silencer. I find the V8 way too refined, I compare it with real old skool big / small-block Chevy units, and it don't add up. Last old V8 I had was a '76 Mustang, sounded awesome. I'm looking to get a custom system made up - stainless steel from the catalysts, no centre muffler and dual twin-tipped mufflers. Who would you recommend in the Essex area? I don't wanna replace the stock catalysts, as they're in great shape. Any ideas?

Have you considered the milltek offering? It's cats-back and fits very well. Has a lovely deep burble but isn't intrusive at motorway pace. I'm by Gatwick if you're ever down this way and want a demo
 I've been disappointed by previous powerflow type efforts on old cars I've had - they've either ignored what I asked for or done their own thing as it makes it easier for them to fit rather than making the best quality job of it Good call to ask for local recommendations if you want to go that route

^^^ Sounds like a plan, Adrian. Would be good to hear yours. Do Milltek offer a dual rear muffler set-up though?

Unfortunately no 4 pipe setup (miss-read your original post) - just a straight replacement with no bumper cutting.
Looks like this:  Be warned it isn't cheap though - I didn't pay for mine as it was already fitted! It isn't anywhere near as loud as Guy's custom 4 pipe setup on his A8, which I've not experienced from inside the car so can't comment how noisy it is on a run compared to the Milltek. It does give a nice deep V8 burble. Can try and get a video of it at the weekend, although there's probably one already on You Tube somewhere? Offer stands anyway if you're down this way anytime - I'm generally about during the day  Adrian

Alternatively, Hayward & Scott in Basildon are superb. Have a look at the website. http://www.haywardandscott.com/
Some of their stuff is a work of art. I had a back box from them for my Impreza, and they made up a custom 3" job for my Saab 9000 Aero and did an amazing job. Have always been tempted to take my S8 down there and see what they can do. Regards, Mark

Finally got a vid of the milltek today while messing about recording vid of the bi-xenons as well http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y18...rtupandrev.mp4 Sound quality isnt great - probably needed the camera lower as the mic is on the top of the camera! Does at least show how much deeper the sound is than stock
