I seen these someone had made these recently.
Anyone know who had made them ?
Cheers, Will

I would have one them!

Just wanted to resurrect this thread in case anyone had an update ion the Taffspeed headers ?

As soon as i have time i intend to see how close the SSC taffy pipe u bend is to the original.
Ive got a gen taffspeed and a few SSC ones.

Hi Gaz ,
I have an SSC copy lying around somewhere , and from memory they are significantly different . I know that the fitting into the stub is quite a bit smaller diameter for a start .

The taff u pipe fits over the expansion body where the Saigon copy slips inside the expansion body. Plus as you said the Saigon version is probably close to 42mm ( the version I’ve seen is ) where the taff is probably closer to 48mm.

If someone is knocking the u pipes up I’d be intrested.

Early SSC were 42mm but they went to 48mm. Thwy have had a few changes.
Yes knew the joints were different just wondered if the bend was in the ball park.
Ive also got a 48mm u bend (unknown) that is just the tube with no ends, think it could be just a 48mm AF clubman, will see if thats anywhere near..... When i have some time!

I am planning to make batch in the near future for the mk4 Taffspeed

Im not sure what mk mine is.

The bends not bad, but would like a new one.

Keep us updated

I’ll definitely have one. If it’s the larger circliped end can Gaz that’s the mk4 Goldline ( with separate u pipe) . The earlier riveted can (As JL were ) pipe didn’t have a separate u pipe. The chamber and u pipe were all one.

Cheers Daz... Ive got a Mk 4!!

Hi Ralph

Put me down for 3 of these please. I assume they will be steel, not stainless?

What timeline are you working to for the production of these downpipes please?

Thanks

Sent you a msg on here Ralph.

Hi all I am waiting for the Main bends to turn up they have been delayed due to a production issue as soon I as get them I'll be on with them

Hi everyone the first prototype U bend has been welded doing some final checks then hopefully I'll make a batch, I have some idea of cost but holding back on that for a minute

Sounds good keep us updated as I’m sure you will.

Eagerly awaited...
