**smestas** · #1 (**permalink**) 07-19-2007, 01:13 PM

Ok guys I have a small batch of these available.

These are made for us by Magnaflow and are high flowing converters with SS tubing. Much better then the older designs and for the same price (460.00) with a limited lifetime warranty. If you are interested drop me an email or PM by clicking this link or on my user name.

I got my cat, recently for about $62 out the door, no piping though, what is the additional cost for?

This setup looks great, Simon. I am especially impressed that it is made for Series 3 Spiders, since so few specialty items are.

I hope that you still have one left later this fall when I have the money.

Thanks!

Simon,

Thanks for providing parts for my favorite car. Looks like the set has everything I want- stainless steel tubing included, welds which won't rust, and should last a long time. I plan to buy a set from you if you're still manufacturing them.

This is a very well priced item considering regular steel versions are selling for $440 and the proceeds help to offset the cost of running this site.

I was planning of building a complete system like the one offered for the GTV but from the feedback you guys have given it probably wouldn't be worth my time.

I still have a few left for those interested.

Looks very nice! My only concern is where the O2 sensor bung is located - are you sure there is clearance between the mounted sensor top and the bottom of the drivers side footwell floor?
On mine ( '82 spider w/'74 type exhaust ) I had to move the bung to the side ( sensor is parallel to the ground instead of perpendicular ) to avoid cutting a hole in the floorboard ( which I did for a while )....

Oops! I just noticed that the front of the assembly uses a 2 bolt flange, whilst my headers are the 3 bolt pattern ( 74 cast iron )... looks like it's NDG for moi, anyway...

Hey Simon,

Do you have one for the late 70's spiders?
