Exhaust fixing/welding - where to go, Ackl?

**psyguy** · 21st November 2007, 19:37

a good kb soul - pete376403 - donated the exhaust to my project (gs850)

the centre header pipes got flattened in an accident and were consequently cut sort of midway down

where in auckland do you recommend i go to have a couple of header pipes fabricated and welded onto the rest? (west auckland, ideally...)

is this going to be as simple as i think it should be or do you have other thoughts?

help appreciated

Psyguy,
Give Warren (Virgin Mufflers) a call on 021 035-2218, he can pretty much scratch build / fabricate anything to do with exhaust systems

Good prices

Good workmanship

He's based in New Lynn

Cheers

(B.T.W I wasn't able to lay my hands on my shim tool over the weekend...)

Custom Chambers or Virgin mufflers as others have said......however be aware that the originals are twin wall construction and thats a wee bit harder to fix than "weld a bit on". Take their advice, but be prepared to replace the complete header rather than just the missing bit.
