But not everyone\u2019s a girl (boy) racer who wants a stainless steel exhaust that will still survive long after the rest of the car has rusted away – Because of this Souhans<\/a><\/strong> also supply and fit standard (mild-steel) exhausts.<\/p>\n

\u201cStandard exhausts from the car manufacture are mild steel as cost saving measure \u2013 we offer stainless steel as it will normally out last the lifetime of the car and because it does not corrode as easily. However sometimes a standard exhaust may be a better solution for our customers so we also stock off the shelf direct fit exhausts from many different manufacturers.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Most importantly a change of exhaust \u2013 either standard or custom (cat-back) will have no effect on your ECU (engine management) so you shouldn\u2019t get any fault codes and your emissions levels will be reduced \u2013 I wonder does that count as a reduction in my carbon footprint?<\/p>\n

Souhans can also make and\/or replace your catalytic convertor or DPF if you\u2019ve failed your NCT due to high emissions.<\/p>\n

\"Stainless<\/a>So after a 5am start (yes I\u2019m crazy) my Golf was on the ramp at Souhans just after 9. While my old rotten exhaust was being chopped off I had another chat with Darren Souhan about what I was actually looking for, how loud I wanted it to be etc. After a quick tour of the stockroom we decided on a 58mm stainless steel pipe with a back box which wouldn\u2019t be any louder than standard most of the time but would give a bit of a roar under heavy acceleration.<\/p>\n

Using my old exhaust as a template, the stainless steel pipework was bent into shape piece by piece until it matched the shape of a standard exhaust. Then it was joined onto the existing exhaust just past the catalytic convertor and the new stainless steel back box was added. The finishing touch was a single downturned tailpipe that sits nicely behind the bumper and means I didn\u2019t have to get any bodywork done to the car.<\/p>\n

By about 11am I was ready for a quick test drive and I\u2019m sure I arrived back to the garage with a huge grin on my face! The whole job took just under 2 hours and if it hadn\u2019t been such a sunny day I could have easily spent the time in the waiting room (free Wi-Fi is always a bonus)!<\/p>\n
