Custom exhaust fabrication

For all general things Calibra related

Custom exhaust fabrication

by MarkV6 » Mon Nov 17, 2014 7:46 pm

I have started a search for companies that make custom exhausts and found these guys not too far from me.

Demandengineering
So I emailed them about doing a full system for the V6 (manifolds to tailpipe)
Demandengineering wrote:A full 2.5" system cat back should be good for your requirements and to keep the noise down, The cost for this would be £440 if you feel the need we can probably build a 3" system for the car, this would be £550.
The Sports cat would be a 60 gram loaded high quality unit which we use on the high end performance cars and the cost for this would be £250
The down pipes to cat section would be £220 we would need to see the manifold or a gasket to get the correct flanges for the down pipes.
All prices are inclusive of vat and fitting here at our our workshops.
We only use 304l stainless steel and your welcome to come and see us first to see what our work is like and to discuss further.


Might have to bung some pothole tax on the Calibra and go for a drive...
I used to own this Calibra...
I now own this one.

Seems a reasonable price.

I've had this local (to me) guy recommended by loads of people.
Will be getting a new system made for mine in the new year. :)

£220 for the down pipes :shock: :shock: I was quoted £550 which is why I've never had them done.

I know...

That's why I think I should take the car to them, because I think they quoted for pipes from the manifold to cat rather than full manifolds. But Griffin Autosport have some stainless steel exhaust flanges for £70, so that'd leave £150 for pipes and labour

Perhaps if I say there could be a potential five other people wanting manifolds it may help on the cost :think:

(Runs off to see if you can use the monthly DD on tax to only get a month or two........)

I have already looked at them Ben, but they have some stories on forums of poor quality, albeit from a couple of years ago...

I would be interested in a set of manifolds and down pipe if you are looking at a group buy.
