I'm definitely interested as well - saloon
Hello
I am looking for a complete stainless steel exhaust system for my
260's tourer.
Anyone help?

There are a few companies that can sort.
I have new back tourer back boxes if you are looking for them that open the sound up but not to the extent where the resonance is horrible. With the tourer be a bit careful as we have had quite a few members with tourers change back boxes etc and have made the car resonance horrible.
when are we starting the group buy on super changers dom :)

Just by way of update - Maniflow have gone very quiet on this. If anyone knows another exhaust specialist that would entertain producing us some replicas please make yourself known! The problem is that I had anticipated a larger order than a dozen or so. I think we need at least two dozen to make it remotely viable for someone.
Recent email from Janspeed:
We no longer have any jigs for these parts as we only ever made a few many many years ago, we have discontinued most xpower parts now.
I then asked whether they had any design information in the archives...to which they replied:
We don't have any information on these as when they were made the first time, a set was made to fit on the car and then a jig was made up to reproduce them, but like I said we no longer have any jigs,sorry.
What a shame :(
Steve, may be a long shot but have you tried Custom Chrome in Nuneaton?
They are a relatively small custom exhaust manufacturer and fitter, so may be happier to work with smaller numbers.
The silencers they fitted for me 6-7 years ago are quite tame compared to x-powers as I didn?t what anything too loud, but they have no resonance and great at motorway cruising speeds.
I was pretty impressed with the quality for the cost, fully fitted with a choice of tailpipes, the cost was nearly half what used x-powers were selling for at the time.
Back then the owner of CC was driving a GT500 so had a good idea on what would work on a 260.
May be worth a chat to see if they could build x-power replicas, though they may need to see & hear some to get an idea of what your after.
I have used two companies in Leeds - Tony Law Exhausts in Hunslet (about 30 years ago) and Tony Banks Exhausts in Wortley (only a few years ago).
The latter did a very good job on my ZS. The former did a good job on my Ducati. I would recommend Tony Banks for this job.

Hi Steve,
There is another exhaust firm in the Salsibury area, who I think are still going. Torque Technique at Wilton near Salisbury - they seem to have good reports.
May be worth a call?

Thank you chaps - appreciate the input and recommendations.
Steve - I see you don't live far from me! That makes two Twilight V8's in the locality! (I assume yours is the one that was featured in the press back in 04/05?)
