stainless exhaust

[Highlander1]

Hi All

While trying to get the surf running The rear pipe snapped over the back axle so when or if i ever get it going I will need an exhaust. I want to go stainles and looked on the site but haven't found and off the shelf supplier yet any ideas.

Cheers

I went custom when mine was done, but it's a common place for them to go, and there are sellers on ebay selling the rear section in stainless. It's certainly possible to get most if not all of the exhaust sections in stainless at reasonable prices, so no worries on that front. It's just a case of finding them, but they are about.

Milners may be worth a try but they might only be in mild steel.

Theres a few posts on here about stainless systems. You can get a full 3" ss system for around £350 from powerflow.

http://www.powerflowexhausts.net/ - mine was from their aswell, they build them all up on the car to your own spec/preferences and they're not too badly priced.

Stainless

Hi,
I am currently building up a stainless exhaust as the ones available off the shelf will only last about 3 yrs. Lots of money for whats basically bent pieces of recycled bean cans!
Of course if you have the money get a full stainless system custom made.
Here`s the shoestring budget way: I purchased a full stainless Powerflow exhaust silencer with about 0.5m curved pipe (to go over the axle) already welded on on ebay for £13.00. I purchased a 1.2m length of 60mm tube and a Torctite band clamp also on ebay for another £30. When all the bits arrive the only welding involved is the 2 bolt flange off the old exhaust on to the straight pipe section. The exhaust will bolt onto the flange after the middle flexi-pipe and exit to the rear of the nearside rear mud-flap.
Am still waiting for bits to arrive so will post pics later!!
PS Milners also sell stainless bits online but not straightforward to find on their website! http://www.milneroffroad.com/PIPE.HTM


cheers,chris

If i remember rightly powerflow offer a lifetime warranty of some description, but you have to have it checked at a powerflow centre once a year. Have to dig out my paperwork and have a look through, southern speedshack(/shop?) my local powerflow centre have said if i want it altered they will do it for the cost of materials, as i told them before it was fitted that i may want it altered once i got some other mods sorted. The plan is to do a small bodylift and custom bumpers then have it side exited through the bumper on the n/s rear, which they were quite happy with.

Thanks guys my only problem is the distance getting the truck to powerflow is the biggest problem maybe when someone gets a system ordered the company could make 2 and send me one up to the highlands. I have left them an email and await their reply. also tried Milners they supply the pipe but thats all they do now.

maybe I will have to get an ordinary one.
