I've not used them myself, but a mate of mine has his ST200 done at Hawleys Tyres at Halfway, they are a Powerflow centre, he took it back a couple of times to make it louder which they did free, I cant remember if he had the downpipes done there or just the exhaust back

My old boss had one made up for his e-type there as well,

:thumbsup: to Hawleys at Halfway from me too.

They don't have any 3" kit though when I was last there, but should be able to sort out the downpipes.

4"! I'd be very surprised!! The biggest it will be is probably 2.5" from each turbo joining into 3" at the cat (or decat!). Standard is something like 1.875" into 2.25".

and to be honest, 2.5" is all that you really need.

As for people to do it, there's a few good people who I have used.

Dynaflow in Lincoln (not sure if he's still doing them though)

Hayward and Scott in Basildon (verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry expensive, but very pretty)

C&C in Glasgow. As I said, neither are anywhere near you, but I could speak to Finlay at Dynafolw to see if he still is doing it?

Right, He doesnt do it anymore. He's got rid of his lift.

He has put me in touch with a fabrication firm called JR fabrications that are based around Derby. Il try and get their details for you
