I have a custom SS exhaust on my TR6. The tricky part is having the right
equipment to properly bend the stainless tubing. Most muffler/exhaust shops
don't have it, and they ruin the tubing when they try to bend it. Mine was
made with pre-bent curves that were then welded up after very careful
measuring (not by me).

I have 2 friends with the Rimmer big bore SS exhaust. It is a complete
system, including the header. There are 2 versions, 1 that terminates in 1
big pipe, one that has doubles. They both sound great, fit great, and look
great. If I ever replace mine, that's what I will get. NFI

I have also heard great things about Bell exhausts, no first hand
experience however.
