Rob D. Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Hi All,I have a 1999 SLR with a K series. The car was fitted with a Aluminum outer main body can with stainless steel end caps (2.25" inlet). It has a distinct flat bottom to the exhaust body. Do any of you exhaust aficionados know the brand ? - It's not a Raceco as I've been in touch with them.Many thanksRob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grumpy the 7th Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Now that's serious grounding, you need a higher ride height. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shn7 Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Reckon that's a one off/bespoke item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elie boone Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 The problem with alloy is that it's heavy due to the extra thickness needed to make it rigid. I see that your exhaust is repackable so i guess your Q is more related to cosmetics ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob D. Posted September 24, 2020 Author Share Posted September 24, 2020 The ally' can is actually quite thin gauge and is given rigidity by the stainless perforated pipe that runs through. I've been really happy with it so far but on a recent track day then I managed to crack the bottom - not through grounding or impact - just fatigue cracks as a result of long duration at full beans. I think I might just add a new skin to the bottom and repair it that way as other options seem to involve new 4-2-1 pipes and approx 1200 quid. It would be nice to have a nice new exhaust system though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
