All a total waste of time when you add a massive amp and boom box

Just lost 20 BHP !!!!!!

where is the best source for tubing to build an exhaust system. Ideally I will build a rough version myself and then take this somewhere to be replicated into a shiny stainless version. I don't fancy trailering my car to have the exhaust system fabricated.

Build cost.... seems to be spending more on tools than car bits at the moment! (they will be handy in the future though).
Car iva'd and passed 15/08/2014. Finished weight 572kg.

Just google 'mandrel tube bending' and look for someone who does mail order or is local, there are quite a few places that do it.

Here's one....

We have found a way of building model exhaust systems that is cheap and bomb proof, will post it up tomorrow.
