Hi Kelly,
It does seem to be a problem nowadays, one used to still find silencers gathering dust on old stockists
racks but now very little chance. Short answer is Wadhams best bet for mild steel or stainless items,
and from my experience they fit (as opposed to some of the old spurious makes that were on the market
in days of yor) unless somebody on here knows differently....... :?:
Occasionally they run out of stock of popular items but a new batch will have been ordered and the wait
is usually not long.
Personally I do not have a problem supporting companys that specialise in supply of parts for our cars,
if it was not for them we would struggle to keep our P6`s on the road
.
Perhaps it needs saying that I have no connection with Wadhams other than as a customer.

Also Colin Gould in Faringdon on 01367 244646 can supply stainless steel sections that replace the individual mild steel sections like for like (so you can buy a stainless system section at a time whilst your mild steel bits get full life).

Stainless is preferred for longevity. But it's definitely noisier than a mild steel system. Things are moving toward full S/S though, so you pays your money & you takes your choice. I think it costs roughly the same to have a system custom made from mild steel or stainless. Personally, I'd prefer to go after mild steel items, either NOS or good second-hand for as long as I can but as stated, they're getting fewer & fewer.

Having just recently purchased a full V8S stainless system from JRW I can vouch for the fit and quality of the system.
A little noiser than I would have liked, but at least it will last a long time. I had considered wrapping exhaust bandage to the downpipes to see if it made any difference to the noise, but have not done anything about it yet and as time goes on it is getting less obtrusive, whether this is just me or the exhaust is building up carbon inside and dampening the noise a little.
