Ok this isn't exactly a viva related post but I'm sure I could stick a vauxhall badge on the front of the trike somewhere.

Does anyone know of good solid reputable companies that make custom exhaust systems?

Only my boyfriend has a rather powerful trike, and I can't go on it until the exhaust is replaced (I've already had to buy an engine for it). Boo!!! :( :(


Thank you. :)

Try this chap (if the link still exists, I got it from an old email from a mate who used him. Really good work)

stores.ebay.co.uk/Track-and-Race-Products-Limited

He does custom made stuff as well, which isn't mentioned on ebay.

A company called Custom Chrome do very good exhausts. I faxed them a sketch of an exhaust i wanted for my V6 HB with all the angles worked out then drove there to collect it 5 days later. We assembled it on the shop floor and they did a few tweeks to get it just right. Its was a perfect fit and all less that £100 for the complete system.

Who says this isnt Viva related?..

We could soon change that Clara. Take your Ha. Take one chain saw, chop the rear end off, mount it on the back of the trike and there you have it... Cool!

Anyone want Ha spares. Front end only.
Sometimes, I wonder why I bother, and then for one fleeting moment things will go right for a change.

I don't think the HA rear end would keep up with the front end of the bike. The drivers tend to chicken out past 160mph. Soapbox has never made it past 90mph. The poor back end would rattle to bits!

Your soapbox will do 90mph... I am impressed. Did it go back in time when you reached 85? Did you need a lighting strike to get back? Where do you keep your flux capacitor?

Still say a viva contrived rear ended trike would look good... How about an estate HB or HC?

It only did 90mph once. Shortly before the engine stopped working for some reason :roll:

It didn't go back in time, at least not that I would have noticed because I was too busy trying to keep her in a straight line as she bounced down the road. *Makes mental note to sort the suspension*.
