Hi chaps. Does anyone know of a custom exhaust manufacturer in the Stoke on Trent area that is able to perform mandrel bending etc and if possible exhaust rebuilding/repair?
Have managed to pick up a very old first generation Corn's exhaust for 1.6 NA. Is in surprisingly good condition, but has obviously been on a fair few cars over the years that it wasn't made to fit.
Muffler itself is fine and so is the centre box further down. Is just the tubing has been cut, welded, added to and removed over the years and is a combo of stainless and mild pieces. Could put on car as is but was thinking of getting new tubing made up. Am getting diagram/pics of the new remanufactured first gen that Corn's have started remaking emailed over to me as a guide. Is now just finding someone to do it. Any help/guidance greatly appreciated.

Show us some pics of this automotive collage of exhaust bits!
Most exhaust places claim to be able to mandrel bend but most just press bend which looks naff!

That's my experience so far, doesn't help being out in the sticks-ish. So thought would ask here. Need to scrub it up big time, see what's left that is actually stainless and original apart from muffler and exhaust hangers. Then will attempt to stick pics up.

I'm pretty sure that the evo review of the Klarius system in this month's magazine mentioned they were based in Stoke-on-Trent. *goes off to check* Yep, here you go: www.klarius.eu/

Is this the one that sold on ebay a few weeks ago for 80 odd quid?? I forgot it was ending else I would of bought it to repair and sell on! I told my mate to buy the damn thing.
I can put you onto my friend who could repair it, but in all honesty it's probably not worth it mate, for the price it will cost (if you cannot do the work yourself) If it don't blow...stick it on and make some noise!

Yeah, think it might probably be. Did spend a week or so myself keep looking at it and then going back looking at old pics on roadstar JP and Corn's site. Thought b****r it and did last minute bid. Found someone fairly local who can do it, may try on the 5 beforehand. Need to get a decent decat as one with it is oversized, just over 3 inch diameter. Will see how it goes, still collecting bits at moment. Waiting on zoom filler and kg works interior mirror to go with rear bar. Slowly filling spare room 😊
