manifold welding

[oldskool]

hey all i just picked up a v6 shogun swb for the odd bit of offroading fun ,, these cars are known to suffer from cracked exhaust manifolds , mine has a blow so i suspect cracked manifold and thought maybe someone on here might have local knowledge of a company that would competently weld the item ( commonly repaired like this im told )

im also looking at the option of having some custom headers made maybe so again if anyone knows a firm local that do that stuff please let me know - ill give powerflow a call and mij are also worth a call ,,, if anyone can recommend anyone else who might be able to do these locally please shout out their details or a link please

thanks - Nick

Small world does a fair bit for me and you won't find a finer welder

good enough for me thanks ,, getting it on ramps tomorrow hopefully to see exactly whats going on

ok on inspection my manifolds might be ok and have ordered a set i found on ebay at a good price just in case

main leak identified as on joint from exhaust pipe to manifold - can anyone reccomend a local company that makes bespoke ss exhaust systems as this might be the best way forward looking at the exhaust

i hear some bad press about powerflow in brighton so has anyone here any knowledge ?

thats interesting thanks ,,, certainly gives me another local,ish option

i have a fitting kit ordered from mitsubushi and am going to try refitting this new pattern exhaust that is on it just in case its a case of it was just fitted by a monkey without gaskets etc so slight chance it could be a cheap fix

mij do these y pipes a lot ( imagine very similar to the v6 scooby arrangement and said approx £150 to make and fit

ill see how i get on with refitting with all new gaskets and if that fails i think ill give pts a call before taking it anywhere else

thanks again - Nick
