[6pack] SS exhaust system.

[Foster, Stan]

I also find it dismaying that despite having three major suppliers of TR parts
and many minor suppliers, the only way to get a good SS exhaust system that
performs well, fits well and has acceptable noise levels for continuous street
use is to either buy it from the UK or have it custom made.

Don't expect your neighborhood CarX or Midas to be able to do this. Very few
muffler shops can properly bend stainless steel pipe without ruining it.
Often, a shop will have to buy pre-bent mandrell bent stainless pipe, and then
cut it and weld it to shape and size. If you want a custom stainless system,
be repared to do some searching in order to find some place that can do it
right.
