As far as the XJS goes there may be some demand for a SS system BUT they always end up being expensive. Speaking for myself, but perhaps others, I think there's a market for nice NON-stainless system that would be more affordable.

Let's hear what others have to say.

Cheers

Bell stainless exhausts, available from SNG Barratt are excellent quality and priced around $900:

If you could offer a better value, go for it! The price puts me off the Bell brand... just patching and making do with the old exhausts.

They are. I have had a Bell system for over 16 years and it is as solid today as the day I bought it.
There are quite a few stainless steel exhaust providers for the XJS already in the market, not to mention in the UK at least, loads of places that can make one in a day to the customer's requirements. Finally there is at best moderate demand. I cannot comment on other models' demand.

Hi, yeah I could sort something out better than that price wise. and mine will be all 304 stainless. As SNG Barrett ones are 409 which is part mild steel on the pipe work
