Full custom systems
Headers-back or cat-back systems in 304 stainless with the muffler and resonator of your choice.
The range
From a single tailpipe to a full custom system.
The workshop has built exhausts for hot rods, trucks and fishing boats for years. If it has an engine and needs a pipe that does not exist off the shelf, that is the job.
Hot rod & classic
One-off systems for hot rods, classics and engine swaps where nothing bolts on.
4x4 & ute
High-clearance systems, snorkel-side exits and repairs after lifts and body work.
Marine & plant
Wet and dry marine exhausts, generator and machinery exhausts, silencers and heat shields.

Questions
Common questions about custom stainless exhausts.
Why stainless rather than mild steel?
A mild-steel exhaust rusts from the inside out in a few years. 304 stainless lasts the life of the vehicle, which is why it suits classics, boats and anything you plan to keep.
Do you do headers and manifolds?
Yes, for most engines. Tube headers are built to the engine and chassis, and we can also repair cracked cast manifolds in some cases.
Can you make it quieter or louder?
Both. The muffler and resonator choice and the pipe diameter set the tone, and we will talk through what you want before anything is cut.
