    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

    Men at work exhuasts

    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).

    If the port on the turbo outlet is 2 1/2 inch you will gain nothing from a bigger system,exhaust systems work by increasing the velocity of the gas stream so bigger could actually be worse and give less torque. Pat
