ruffy 0 Posted September 26, 2003 Hi people :D Just a quick question ... I'm planning to get my exhaust rebuilt down pipe back by Hayward & Scott in Basildon, I've heard some good reports about them and they seem to be a very reputable company.. has any one here had any dealings with them :?: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sy_VW 0 Posted September 26, 2003 Haven't got one myself but a friend used to rave about them especially for Jap cars! They are based minutes away from where I work so if you want me to check them out or discuss anything with them I could do. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ruffy 0 Posted September 26, 2003 Sy_VW Cheers Mate That would be spot on if you could have a butchers.. I have two options drive up to Manchester to blue flame a 3 hours drive .. or Haywoods which is under a 1 hour away which would save me a lot of time.. petrol and probably my licence.. Yeh your right.... my freind has his type R Civic (sorry for swearing) :oops: and he cant stop raving on about his zorts ... If you could pop in and give me the low down it would be appreciated chap.. :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted September 26, 2003 Have a look at examples of their work at http://www.haywardandscott.co.uk They have an excellent reputation and I know of a Scooby owner that found 30bhp from one of their full systems. Kev Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sy_VW 0 Posted September 26, 2003 Ruffy Anything you want me to ask/check out in particular? You can PM me if you want. I assume that you have been quoted a price. Also have you thought of Powerflow. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sy_VW 0 Posted September 26, 2003 Ruffy If you don't mind me asking how much have they quoted for the down pipe back? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Powerflow are dont go over 2 and half inch and they cant mandrel bend the pipes .. I'm runing a big blower and want a 3inch system.. they dont seem very helpful either..

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted September 26, 2003 Quality costs. You get what you pay for. Kev I take it your vote is with Hayward then? Well I'd certainly short list them. I've seen some of their work and it is really good. Whether their products are worth the extra cash over competitors or not is something only you can decide.
