DAK - (exhaust) pipe bender

So, I got this 'competition' exhaust for my Husky off the usual source
(ebay). The 'complete' exhaust has a bit of a gap in there as it
appears that two short elbow-shaped pipes are missing. Great. Last
communication from the seller was a request to leave feedback, funnily
enough he's gone all quiet when I mentioned those elbows.

So, can anyone recommend a bike exhaust builder or similar who can
manufacture the two missing short pieces of tubing? It would be a pity
to have to re-ebay the really nice carbon can and the downpipes simply
because two short pipes went AWOL...

 

It was Carshalton, and he's dead.

 

There's a place in Wootton Bassett near Swindon that makes my parent's
Vinnie exhausts. I can get the details tomorrow if you like?

Bell Silencers in Swindon (Old Town). They have made some *luverly* one-off
stainless pipe sections for me in the past. I sent them CAD drawings and
they quote by return. They have *full* swaging, forming, fabrication and TIG
facilities.
Very cost effective too.

You're a better person without it.

HTH.

 

Furry muff. I remember your style before you went into hibernation and
remember not having that much to say to you. Maybe it's just me then,
maybe I've mellowed a bit. I don't know how long it will last mind, I've
got the no smoking thing going on at the moment and have a give up
smoking pack winging its way here as we speak.

 

I asked them to make me a system for my Jeep a few years ago, & they
wouldn't do it. They said something about the 4.0L Cherokees make
exhausts explode. So I asked if they could get a Borla system instead.
Same answer - "don't waste yer money, it won't last 5 minutes, we don't
want the hastle" etc etc.

So I got a stainless Borla elsewhere, & it's still going strong 40,000
miles later. Bell Silencers aren't on my Xmas card list... ;-)

 

Ta.

 

Something that may help - get a couple of grip strengtheners from a
sports shop. As well as giving you something to do with your hands, the
resulting muscle mass makes it easier to strangle your mates when they
keep offering you fags.

 

It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember
(The Older Gentleman) saying
something like:

Died of exhaustion.

Carshalton is Carshalton, there is no way to be gentle about stuff like
that.

I heard he was a bit of a bender.

That's just a load of hot air.

 

Andy at Zorstec is your man.. has all the proper mandrils (sp?) and stuff,
did me a grand job on the TL and reasonably priced too

 

Excellent! You'll be getting your sense of taste and smell back soon
then, plus extra money.

 

Yeah so I might not want to come round any more

There's always that
