7 wonders of the world Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 If you have no luck with a used one then Mike Edwards in Wisbech can make you a stunning one with correctly merged collectors.https://www.facebook.com/Edwardsmotorsport21/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A7 OOH Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Like Arun1uk I am also looking for a good used set up for EU3 1.8 Xpower with cat- hens teeth I knowThanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7 wonders of the world Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Ask Mike is he can do a deal on a pair... ? he may even have a jig already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A7 OOH Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Thanks-I will contact Mike to get a price, although really after used- I like the look over the single pipe job and not necessary any power increase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classic1952 Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Would be interested in a manifold as above, for an SV, ideally to connect to existing pipe/silencer/cat, having shortened the pipe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arun1uk Posted May 18, 2020 Author Share Posted May 18, 2020 Ah, I thought as much.....fingers crossed there'll be someone with something available.Will give a few companies a call and come back with the findings.Hope you're all safe and enjoying the weather!

Baron_IT Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Following! I'm also looking for exhaust manifold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham King Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Powerspeed (Ashurst, Kent) used to be the guys for k-series stainless 4-2-1 in the past, looks like they may be FastRoadConversions now. There were a good number of bulk buys through Blatchat, so a lot of happy customers. They had a jig, for both S3 and SV, so didn't need the car to build the exhaust, made them both with and without cat, also did a fitting service if you wanted. I had one on my Superlight, was a very nice piece of kit and made a discernible difference to the midrange. May be worth contacting them to see if they still have the jig and are able to make them, they were always open to multiple purchase discounts. Graham.

Area Representative Nick Bassett Posted May 20, 2020 Area Representative Share Posted May 20, 2020 Another for Powerspeed - I have one on my Superlight R (purchased from Graham King's brother) and it looks the part & performs well. Sounds fantastic, but it also passed the static noise test at Abingdon, so would appear to be trackday noise compliant too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue C7 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 I organised one of the bulk buys in about 2013 from power speed nice people to deal with and a well made product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seabea23 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 It would be nice if they did a 4-2-1 that connected to the existing standard K silencer/cat. The system looks very nice but I prefer the smaller diameter of the stock system. I think powerspeed only provide a 7 inch diameter silencer.

arun1uk Posted May 22, 2020 Author Share Posted May 22, 2020 Hi chaps,I spoke to Fast Road and a couple of things have changed. They no longer offer group buys, and their prices have gone up....significantly. Prices as follow:4-2-1 no cat = £1,500+VAT4-2-1 with 200 cel cat = £1,680+VATFitting = £300+VATHigh Polish finish = £200+VAT.So you're looking at £2,400 for a no-cat exhaust system. Not sure how that compares to others, but that put it out of reach for me. With that expense, I might as well just trade up my car, as it certainly wont add to the overall value. Will continue my search for a used example! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadsport06 Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 When I joined the club 15 years ago there were a number of bulk buys. I can't remember how much they were back then but it feels like it has gone above inflation. According to the BoE £1000 back then would be £1470ish now.If buyers back then could confirm how much they paid we can see how the price has climbed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7 wonders of the world Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Speak to Mike Edwards.....You will also find he uses properly merged collectors, not clipped bent pipes and his TIG welding is an art form, no scruffy MIG ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Support Team rob spencer Posted May 23, 2020 Support Team Share Posted May 23, 2020 I just looked out my payment details for an October 2002 club bulk-buy Powerspeed 4-2-1 exhaust. It was for a 1.8 supersported SV. I don't think there was a cat in it but the can was part of the deal. I think mine was the first SV they had seen so I took my car to them to make it up. The price included fitting.£450 inc VAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham King Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Mine would have dated from around 2006, had a full system but no cat as part of a bulk buy. I can't remember the price exactly but from memory i'd say a fitted price of around £1000 sounds about right. They also modified my old exhaust to fit the headers for use at MoT time.£2400 with no cat sounds an awful lot have to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrightpayne Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 4 into 1 system just popped up on ebay!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM25T Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 My PowerSpeed 4-2-1 with a cat in the 7" silencer was £595 fitted I recall. I already had the 4 separate primaries through the sideskin. This was in March 2009. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arun1uk Posted June 6, 2020 Author Share Posted June 6, 2020 I'm still struggling to find anything reasonable, which means I might still with the current setup for a while.If anyone sees anything available, please let me know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron_IT Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Hello,we may try with http://simpsonraceexhausts.com/Their system seems quite nicehttps://www.facebook.com/SimpsonRaceExhausts/posts/caterham-superlight-r300-k-series-exhaust-system-please-contact-us-with-all-your/724301474368103/I made an inquiry via mail and their quote is 1200-1400+vat for one 4-2-1 system. I guess they may be willing to give a good price if we buy 2 or 3. Anyone in Bershire needing an shiny exhaust :)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
