Thread: Good Exhaust Shop in Brisbane: 3 inch time for the Defender

i have used cookie before and he is a genius , he is now in gonzos shop in gibbs st wynnum, heard good things about a mob near capalaba called men at work on new cleveland raod just where it meets old cleveland rd

A mate of mine uses Custom Exhaust Systems at Creastmead, but they are expensive...but you do get mandral bends, HPC coating and a before and after dyno readout.

Roothy from 4wdAction is always going on about Cookies at Wynnum...I live not far from them so I should go and check them out.

I have always used The Muffler Shop which is now at Trade Street Cleveland, but he does not do mandral bends.

I think the pipe currently on my 130 is a 2 & 3/4 inch. There is a muffler at the back which I want to remove plus the pipe is currently going under the A arm which I want to change to going above the A Arm.

Hopefully get this done in the next couple of months.

Cheers
Andrew

Aren't the headers only 2 1/2 " ?

If thats the case why would there be any advantage in going withan exhaust system any bigger ?

I hope you haven;t got doof doof big pipe fast four WRX disease !

Hi all, I have just had the complete Disco system($165 for 2 1/4" pipes) done by men at work at capalaba, he was really cheap, painted the entire system to prevent rust and only took about an hour, he is by far the cheapest I have used, Gonzo's in Wynnum do good work, but are pricey, I think he mainly does custom work, but from experience men at work are the go, he's on new cleveland rd Capalaba, 3823 1955, hope it helps

I second that recommendation..... except that I realise it was me that recommended them to Dave in the first place.

They replaced a large part of the system on our Bash car last year and did a great job and were very kind to us.

The workshop looks more like an old school type workshop where they actually do fabricate their own stuff ( rather than the ones where you can't get anything other than the standard bolt on pieces).

Just gave them a ring over the phone he said around $600 for a 3" system. Seems quite good.
