New SS Zorst

Thats a nice looking system
I usually make my own and do my best to keep noise down. Had loud ones before and the drone gets annoying.

Thanks Gary.

I specifically asked him to ensure that there wouldn't be that "headache" drone on cruising. Hence the 2 boxes.

Yep,I'm liking that too! There does seem to be lots of firms offering custom built stainless exhausts these days,some of them are right cowboys,in fact there's probably 3or4 within a mile of my house,yet my bro travelled 400 miles last week (each way) to have one made for one of his cars.

I knew one guy that had used this place and he was very enthusiastic about them. Other than that I was taking a chance, but with no competition here, it was either that, or another friend doing it (being his first attempt) or a stock mild steel system again. I took the chance and I think it's paid off. Ask me again in 5 years' time!

That looks very nicely made Clive and not a bad price IMO considering the two boxes and exit out the back which adds to the work load.

It's good that you say that Jon, as from what I have gathered, you know what's what! It's good news to me.

It all looked good to me, but what do I know. I learned to weld with oxy acetelene donkeys years ago and was pretty good at it too, but times have changed a lot since then and I haven't kept up with the new technology.

As I said earlier in the post, the place that made it is very well kitted out and they have a very professional approach to their jobs. I'm very pleased with the job and relieved that I haven't been ripped-off.

A couple more photos... I took a drive to Constanta yesterday, clocked up another 600 km on the new Zaust, and the truck ran nicely on the autostrade, no drone at all.

Still well pleased

 

[Captainoversteer]

Such a shame to put it underneath where it can't be seen!

 

[clivehorridge]

True! I lay on my back on the grass last weekend for a good 15 minutes under the truck, just looking at it!

My mrs thought I'd gone completely nuts!

 

[Captainoversteer]

Been there! You didnt manage to talk her into joining you for a look?surely it would of made sense then?

That would've been a laugh! I'm sure she would have really appreciated what it's all about if she had!

fair play, she's a stickler for safety, so the suspension lift was for safety reasons, the ARB Bumpers, the winch, the recovery equipment, the spots, the rack, the Zaust, the 2 sets of wheels and tyres, the .... you name it, all in the interests of safety aren't they?

 

[Captainoversteer]

Safety is most definately paramount,so long as you look cool!

Sorry 'bout that Frank, only just received those photos from the manufacturer!

Thinking of framing them to go on the wall!
