side pipes
 
Well after my search has turned up as a dud and not able to find anyone in Australia to make me pipes ,its back to the old undercar exhaust.
And to be truely honest i think the sidepipes are too bloody loud and give you a head ache after a while.
Thanks again Paul

Paul, I love my side pipe noise, under load or heavy acceleration they are nice and meaty.
But when cruising (and I am doing plenty of that lately) I have more tyre noise than pipe noise.

ptrefry i've tryed afew places & they custom make them at a cost
i,m trying to get a set so i can run them [side pipes] then cut back under to the rear
as per adr rules they have to exit to the rear

Any half decent fabrication place should be able to make them for you. Just look up local stainless fabricators and take them a picture of what you want. At the end of the day its just stainless pipe and mandrel bends. You would probably get a better price from them instead of a car parts supplier.

Wow - it took you only 5 days after asking the question to give up??? As others have said, talk to a local exhaust fabricator. I could name half a dozen places within an hour drive from me who could make a beautiful set of pipes, customised to your desired noise level...

You sook ;) **)
Aussie Mike might make you a set or as Craig says any good exhaust place worth their salt would make you whatever you want. Mine are just 100mm stainless pipe with 4 100mm stainless Mandrel bends welded on with a triflow baffle setup inside. Around $600 from memory.

Cheers
Brett

Can you explain what a triflow baffle set up is please ?

Beejay 10-09-2010 10:59 PM

Paul already has side pipes - he is after a new set that are more authentic looking.

Personally I think the ones on it now look fine!

thanks they are very nice indeed but not quite what i was after

FUNFER2 10-10-2010 05:44 PM

I can check into a real quiet muffler if you wish. If not, that's ok.

nobby 10-13-2010 10:55 PM

Kevin, What kind of money are you asking for a set of your pipes, canyou make them without the finish, wouldn't want to damage them when trying to fit them, thanks.

Googled it and found a design patent description. It looks a bit constrictive...what's others opinion ?

FUNFER2 10-14-2010 06:54 AM

$2,100 for the entire kit. All you need is the 4-hole primary flange to match up to your headers. Too many variables with your engine, body cut outs ect.

When your fitting your side pipes, just wrap them in a towel and blue painters tape. If you do get a scratch, stainless is very easy to polish them out.

Here's our muffler. Point the louvers away from the engine for better flow, or towards the engine for a bit less noise. Look how restrictive one of the manufactures muffler's are.
