Not a very useful one - I use the shopp in Weston-Super-Mare called 'speed shop' or something similar - they sell them for folk to fit dustbin sized tail pipes to their cars. I 'spect there's something similar raeher nearer to you.

Oh well. Worth asking.

We're pretty short of chav-car shops around here; I think it's something to do with having a lot of real expertise in the area. Let's see: Maniflow, Burlen, Slark, Janspeed...

There MUST be somewhere - mustn't there? I wonder if any of the 'posh' shops do something similar? There seem to be just as many chav waggons on the south coast as anywhere else...
What bore IS the standard exhaust, btw?

You'd think so, but Salisbury doesn't seem to be that sort of place.

I wondered about asking Maniflow but I'd expect the inevitable question "Why?", to which I don't have an answer.

I guess if I tried in Southampton, but here is rural Wiltshire and the Forest and Chavs are remarkably thin on the ground.

Mine came with a 1&3/8" (36mm) exhaust clamp?

The manifold that Pete may have will solve the problem, I think. I've just invested about £1.50 in a manifold gasket just in case (on the basis that I'll probably use it sometime).

Well there are a handfull of chav cars in Salisbury most evenings, but yes - a lot less than most cities!
