I don't have nice things to say about Windsor exhaust. Took days to fit a turbo and then put the wrong turbo oil feed line on, small engine bay fires are scary. All I heard coming into the shop was customers saying they had work done a little while back and brackets had snapped, welds had cracked etc. I too am looking for a good reliable exhaust shop for a rear section on the FG.

wow.

I've had no problems.

The quality of mine is quite good.

But, I got the to do the exhaust, I bolted the turbo and such on.

With an FG you'd just buy one of the many off the shelf kits available

I don't want a full cat back, just a rear muffler to bolt on/off from stock one. The companies who make aftermarket ones are all suited to their cat back system and nothing to bolt to the stock exhaust just before the diff.

I went in to get a dump pipe made.. was told 2 hrs, got there 7am left at 4pm

im not in a rush to go back, work was average weld wise and they didnt give me a gasket so I had to buy one then pull it all apart and do it myself at home

"Forged" aka Jason here on SAU fabricates exhausts, Y and dumps.

Works with Ti as well as S/S.

artech.com.au or 0405090814

I'd appreciate feedback if someone goes there.

Thanks for the recommendation Terry.

Charlestone exhaust in Mt druit, run by a bloke by the name of Bruno. He does a lot of custom work for street hot rods and v8s. Along with some imports. hes a good bloke. Look him up. I got him to do a bit on a few of my cars over the years as i used to work next to his shop. Also hes mates with EZY10's in St Marys he did some nice welds to fix my intercooler piping so they might also be an option.

My dads FG was done at Liverpool exhaust but he got full extractors and stainless all the way through. They did an excellent job but a bit pricey.

is that the old Carline mufflers?

If so, have dealt with Bruno in the past.

Great bloke.

But...

At the time, couldn't do 4".

Any forum members here that's keen to weld a 1.75" resonator & a 30/45 degree bend to my screamer pipe?

Had an appointment with Hax and he decided not to show up at his shop... cbf going back. I know his work is immaculate but the guy never picks up his phone and tells me to come on a time/day and doesn't show.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
