ormi Can you not make it out of straight pipes and use silicon elbows/bends for the bends??

That would be a lot easier. But most exhaust places should be able to bend it for you, it is only a 2" pipe.

But time is very much of the essence, as I was looking to get the bits back, get them cleaned up and painted before JAE. Though I now think I will need to fit them too! So the clock is ticking. Smile

I've spoken to LongLife, and the upshot is they 'think' they 'should' be able to do it, so I'm going to book a half day off work tomorrow and head over there.

Pipe is now with LongLife and although they only do compression bends and not mandrel bends. The guy said he can do it, and for £70. So HOPEFULLY it'll be ready to collect tomorrow, it'll fit and I'll have saved £180!

On the other hand I could have wasted £70 and still have to shell out £250 lol, fingers crossed! Smile

That's good news! Make sure they roll a lip onto the ends of the pipe to give your jubilee clamps something to hold on to.

yeah he said he could but not as pronounced as the original.

That's not a problem though, if needed I'll get a mate to run a bead of weld around the ends, and smooth them up for the jubilee clamps Smile

I just really hope they get it right, and it'll fit because then it's just a couple of hours work till I'm rolling on boost Smile

All's well that ends well.

Glad to hear this story has a (hopefully) happy ending! Confusedmoke:
