OUR COMPANY WAS FOUNDED TO PROVIDE QUALITY PIPEWORK TO A MARKET IGNORED BY MUCH LARGER COMPANIES, WHILST STILL EMPLOYING MAJOR MANUFACTURING TECHNIQUES.
Today we’re still supplying quality pipework to our original customer base in the classic and conversion market, however we’re also moving forward into the modern market.
We only use European stainless steel and where possible, our pipework is made from one continuous, unbroken, mandrel bent piece of pipe. In other words, no welds! Welds are possible points for failure and certainly bad for flow. All of our exhaust systems are free from unnecessary welds and joined by a reliable two bolt flange arrangement, making it as easy to remove them as it was to fit them, time and time again.
Our silencers are made in house, meaning that we know exactly what is inside them. Yet again, all materials are European sourced.
Because we only make what you see on our website, our pipework is extensively and continually developed over many years. This probably why you rarely see our exhausts for sale second hand, but when you do, the residual values are always high.
Usually, any system made on your car “Custom” will be a patchwork quilt of Chinese bends, sections of Chinese pipe, lots of welds and bought in universal silencer boxes.
