Exhaust Welding in Surrey??



  Clio Trophy 463
hi everyone,

I bought a full stainless system from k-tec a while back (big mistake) after a lenghty conversation they said it would just bolt on...result.

But when it arrived my mate who is a mechanic tried to fit itand it seemed to be the right shape etc....but the center section was way too big and the clamps wouldnt do up tight enough to stop it blowing. It now hangs down in the middle so it scrapes the road and is still blowing.

I was told it would need welding (so much for bolting together). has anyone else had this problem? Is there anyone that knows anyone that welds exhausts in surrey, most places ive phoned wont do it as its not their exhaust.

Please help!!!

i've tried longlife exhausts in Falfield and was not impressed,
i went to get a de-cat fitted,

i arrived at 1:30pm
they said my car would go in at 2pm but didn't go in till 4pm, once it was in they said they had to get a flange and have a plate laser cut to fit onto the manifold which was fine,
they put my cat back on but cross threaded one of the bolts that go intot he manifold so when i went upto the renault world series at donnington park it was blowing like f**k and was losing alot of power!

i came back in the following few days once they had got the de-cat and told them it was blowing from last time, they said they will look at it, and i told them to make a joint so i could put my cat back on when i wanted to,
so after i went to town for a bit payed and drove off, it was okay for a few weeks and then it started blowing from the gasket between the manifold and the de-cat so took it off and they had forced the bolt that was cross threaded in so it wouldn't blow, and they didn't put a joint in for the cat!!

i took the de-cat off and made sure it was on there fine but still was blowing, i'm sure they didn't get a straight edge to make sure it was a flat surface before fitting!!

i'm now getting a different exhaust from somewhere else and gonna get my de-cat propperly smoothed
