Im after an experienced pipe bender/fabricator/some one 'in the trade' to replicate a pipe that Stoney has very kindly sent me from his supercharger kit.

I do have a guy that can do it, after much searching. HOWEVER due to the fact he says he's going to have to make one of the bends in the same way you would on say a 2-stroke motorbike, i.e cutting bends and then tig welding them, then welding that bend into the rest of the custom pipe - it's going to cost me £250!

Does anyone know of someone/a company that could replicate the pipe for me, in the next couple of days cheaper than £250?!

ANY help/advice on this would be greatly appreciated!!
Otherwise I s'pose I'll just have to bite the bullet and stump up the £250 :ohmy:

Thanks!

Surely any exhaust fabricator with a Mandrel bender could do that for you. Try searching for local powerflow place

I had this problem getting a midpipe made for my old exhaust. Most exhaust places (longlife, powerflow etc) should be able to help as long as the pipe diameter is not too large. Loads of places can do 2" and 2.5" easily but 3" becomes more of a pain and gets expensive!

Edit: Dah Pete beat me to it!

WTH, why can't an exhaust shop do that bend? That looks simpler than a lot of downpipes I've seen and none of those have needed to be welded.

Whats that pipe for btw? Is it for passenger side of the intercooler back to the drivers side?

^^ What Oli said mate.

I could probably do it with silicone but ideally I'd like to hard pipe it
