When you say higher quality...what do you mean.....a stainless system that will last many years but may not be shiny.....or one that will stay shiny and last many years????

Or a good quality mild steel system....if there is such a thing.
 
SS Shiny (ideally for many years)
Perhaps just a list of supplier would be good and then I can speak to them direct. All the ones I know use the double SS system

Might be missing something here, but all the Land Rover exhausts I have had were under the motor, so you couldn't see them.

If you are worried about the appearance of the tailpipe, which you can see, Maybe one of those chrome tailpieces like the boy racers have?
 
Think mine is double S been on for maybe 20 years.....still perfect....in my opinion.....bar a sort of maybe sand paper feel.....its no longer shiney....but I suspect it will out live me....the rear box is very shiny....to me it looks odd under a landrover.

Think there used to be a company called rimmer bros who made em.....no idea about shininess.
 
I spoke to Double SS and they have recently downgraded the quality of steel in their SS exhausts try keep prices down. a bit like shrink-flation

Surprised they told you that....just a thought....maybe high grade food or marine SS is not suitable for higher temp applications ie durability.cracking ect....as I say just a thought....I have no idea really..

Did double S say why they have down graded???

And a dump valve whistle :D
 
I bought a Well known make SS exhaust for my defender only to find flanges & hangers made from mild steel & it rotted after a few years. It was crap. After advice on here I ordered one from Demand Engineering in Suffolk. Exceptionally well made and good quality SS - hangers & flanges all stainless
