Our full time design engineer works closely with Phil Levett, our Workshop Manager to create entire exhaust systems or consult on designs received from designers.

Having worked with Formula 1 designers for over 15 years Phil Levett is familiar with many aspects of exhaust design or manufacturing techniques that have been used in the past. With prior consultation we are often able to reduce both the cost and time scales involved in the fabrication and machining of complex exhaust parts.

We can fabricate from a CAD model with no need for technical drawings.

We often have to reverse engineer customer parts into 3D CAD models. We take bespoke components, reverse engineer the design and improve them, in order to make a part that will perform better and be less likely to fail. For more information, please download our Reverse Engineering presentation.

Reverse engineering a high performance exhaust part

Many designs do not take into account the realities of fabrication. With 25 years of fabrication experience at the highest level we can quickly tell if a design can be easily made or whether an alternative approach would work better.

We can sometimes reduce costs by adapting designs to fit our extensive bend tooling set or simplifying the design to reduce the cost of fabrication, without ever having to compromise on quality.

We are able to fabricate complex systems by the use of press tools that are designed in-house. Although a more costly option than conventional tube bending, pressings give the customer complete freedom of specification and are less expensive than alternative methods such as hydro forming or laser sintering.
