    Anyone in Ireland making custom exhausts?

    I know of Souhan, are they the only option? If so any opinions?

    Atlas on Kylemore road, Dublin will make up an exhaust for u. Ask for Btendan. Very reasonable and lots of knowledge.

    I'd be wary of going to an Atlas for anything, let alone a critical part like an exhaust.
    Mixed reviews of Souhans.

    I went to Souhan's on the recommendation of a few friends, and I've nothing but good things to say about them!

    Just looking at my options for my Jensen, 361cui Chrysler, fitted with 50mm primary and 45mm tail pipes, before going to suppliers in UK.

    Souhans gave me a quote for 57mm throughout and new boxes that will give me a bit more V8 noise, as it's a bit subdued at present, and if possible a cross pipe :D

    Cleveland, have u used Atlas in Kylemore road to manufacture an exhaust for u? I have, for a 1968 non standard v6 dual exhaust classic and was very happy with the result. If you have particular experience with an exhaust fitting please share the details.

    I had a non exhaust related negative experience with Atlas Kylemore road and will not be going near an Atlas ever again.

    Re Souhans, I had my mopar ('68 Chrysler running a '70 Plymouth 440 engine) in there for some exhaust work. They put the remounted exhaust headers too close to the starter motor meaning the car won't start now unless stone cold.

    I'll be bringing it back to them once I get the brakes sorted.

    I got some work done by Souhans a few years back. Basically to fit some free flowing boxes (I supplied). Paid a premium as I wanted large diameter manderal bends around rear axle etc (duel pipes). The whole lot fell out on the road 3 weeks later.
    Turns out the fitter used half the diameter pipe I ordered and made the bends by cutting mitred angles and welding. Looked like some bodge job and actually defeated the purpose of the upgraded exhausts.
    Got a stainless exhaust made in UK recently, good company, kept me up to date with pics of the build to ensure it was within spec and sent it next day delivery at a very reasonable price. Can't remember their name but found them on ebay.
