Looking for some info on where I can buy 5" exhaust pipe and a 5" straight through back box,or anyone that can make a big exhaust system like this for my car as i said it will need to be 5" all the way through, it also needs to be light weight.

Get it made out of titanium as well - that\'d be loud!!

Looking at your location I can\'t think of anywhere that can do it as they\'d need the car to check clearance. Theres a place in Essex that does custom ones but it\'d be a trek and I don\'t have their details to hand. Japanese tuner exhausts only go up to about 4 -4.5 inches as far as I\'m aware.
Cheers

know anyone who works on the rigs ? most of the stuff they use will be far too thick walled but you may strike it lucky and find some lighter walled stuff for use on breathers.

Or find a decent comercial garage and ask them. 5" mild steel (no need to use stainless is there?) is a common size.  I have a scan courtesy of Kev Yorks that lists 5" bore mild steel pipe.

It will be mega loud bro,you also wont find a suitable muffler(s) for it,custom all the way and it might even sound a lil CHAV.. :2Rolleyes

If this is for Keith\'s skyline, I don\'t think he\'d be too worried about the noise :)

I think Ben was thinking of Hayward and Scott in Basildon. I know that they can bend 4 inch stainless, but not sure about anything bigger.

Might be worth giving them a call to find out.

Hi Kevin

commercial sounds very heavy i will call them and find out

Thanks Keith

a pipe that big will be welds surely instead of just bent....

Keith . I would start looking a truck parts mate. I dont know the names of the truck servicing people in your area but they will surely have the pipe you need.

I suppose if you want light you could find someone to roll some for you out of sheet ... you are going to be a bit stuck for nice smooth bends though

kev-yorks

The thin walled isn\'t that heavy and the pipes are bent not welded. Might be worth asking if they do any in more exotic materials. Dinex make aftermarket exhausts for just about every commercial vehicle in the UK plus a lot of the dealer stuff is made there as well so they should be able to sort you out.
