When i made mine i bought all the bits from Racing Beat, they sell a Kit that has the flanges etc as well as some Pipe and bends, But you can also buy just the bends of them if thats how you want to do it.

thanks man, but would like to get a bit more closer in the uk, thanks

you could go to a steel and tube place in new zealand and buy them but dont know what places over here sell them, as stores sell different things here :) will keep looking thanks :)

Hiya Glen,

Have been looking into this myself cos i\'ve got a DIY exhaust design in progress. I think the best place i\'ve found is HLP tube formers in South Wales.

And if you\'re after a nice muffler, try these guys (based in NZ though!)

Good luck and keep us updated.
