Where Can I Buy A Custom Chrome Exhaust From?

[Big Jim]

Actually, if it's the single 2" entry pipe, the silencer would be a good one if there was enough packing in it. It's physically the same size as the Custom chrome one, and when packed with the right stuff, will be fine.

BUT, remember, it does need re-doing from time to time.

The 2 pipe entry silencer is another thing altogether though!!! it's designed so that there's only 1/3rd of the actual can with any packing in to start with, so anyone with one of these fitted, needs to be thinking about an upgrade before you become deaf in your right ear-ole!

I have got both of the rh exhausts, but im using the single entry with the 4 branch manifold at the moment. Ill add repacking it to my to do list

[Grim]

i should repack too, i've done 7k on my rhe silencer, it's getting extremely noisy, almost to the point of discomfort, even with ear plugs in!

I doubt there is any worthwhile packing left in by now so yes it must be worth it as Jim says it's not a hard job to do.

The one on stu's car is the one I bought from customchrome, it isn't chrome it's poished stainless and cost 160 quid inc vat. The noise is a nice note bust still quite loud, nowhere near as bad as the RH one though. They built it to suit the engine, I had to tell them what size it was and what else had been doen to it. Fortunatley for me Ilive near them so picking it up was easy. Don't know about postage as it is pretty heavy. Nice people to do business with. It also sholdn't ned repacking ever as if you look inside it is full of a nice defelctor mesh. It is a very good product snd should lst as long as the car.

my 2 pipe needs repacking after 500 miles when i take off the cover there is hardly anything there, going for a custom 4-2-1 stainless system made localy £350 comp, a lot cheeper that repacking all the time.

[Bob Tucker]

Does that £350 include the headers and the silencer?

If so, can you let us know how it turns out & contact names & nos.

I need a full system for an XE engine in a pillar 2B chassis, so thatll be a

custom built job too. Previous quotes hav been around £500.

Cheers for that Paul, I thought it was but was begining to wonder! but like you say the note is very easy to live with but can also scare small children when you want it to

[Guest peter2b2002]

The 4-2-1 manifold was a made to measure one in stainless done in 2 days cost £350 +vat ,a chap in Tingewick near me made it,the silencer is a muff diver cherry bomb sounds very nice quite deep in tone I got it from Demon Tweeks, the engine now runs much smoother, flips upto 6k verry quick, before it was only 5k +better mid range torque,

[Guest tom2b]

Thats quite alot of money, but sounds like it was worth it. What a name for a silencer!

[Guest salty_monk]

Cherry Bombs are infamous for use on the old Escorts & Capri's down in Essex.... That they have a name like that doesn't surprise me at all!!

 

They have been round for donkey's years. Big Lee has a pair on his V6 I think (& his are the red coated original's)

[Longboarder]

I believe the 'diver' bit of the name refers to some patented silencing invention as in 'Enhanced by revolutionary D.I.V.E.R. technology for silencing without power loss' so you've all got smutty minds.

I've got a couple of stainless steel fire extinguishers sat in my cellar, courteusy of Bill. Should be just right for making a nice can out of, slightly longer than the RH one and much fatter, just need to find the time to get round to it now!

It must have taken them so long to work out a way of getting muff diver into their name!

[Guest peter2b2002]

Yes the muff diver can be turned arround, one way soft the other way loud, dont know which way arround mine is, lable fell off, easy to change though,just unbolt it and turn it arround, stiil sounds great.
