in Cardiff who hand built my exhaust system from the turbo back with a sports cat, it is a 3" system and cost me £'s but it is a bespoke system. 
He can build you a complete exhaust system to your specs and at agreed price and Charlie is a top bloke as well.

I think Dave Coe's a bit pricey too 
... shame, cause if he was a bit more competitive with costs then i'd be there all the time as they are very close to me.
... Could try a little further up in Merthyr... Indigo-GT.... they are members on here too

Yeah not the cheapest, but fairly local for me and I think you can trust what he does/knows - shame no Scoobynet discounts available with him, as I think more would venture there then.............

Sorry to wade in but I thought that the servicing intervals (at least on the 2.5's) is every 10,000 miles and not 6,000 miles as on the classics?
I stand of course ready to be corrected.

I tend to change the oil and filter in mine every 5k Ty, just because its running more power. always suprised how dirty it is after 5k.
I had the mongoose exhaust system on my car from dave coe when i had it, it is a bit quiet, nice and subtle tho. still have the back box in the garage if your interested.
I had a pricey quote from dave coe for changing the up pipe as well, but it is a bit of a pain to do, he recomended i leave it till i decide to change the manifold for something else, get it done the same time he said. nice guy and seems to know his stuff.

as I do so little mileage, but normal servicing is every 10,000 miles but I would not like to leave the oil in for the full 10,000 miles. To be honest I cannot find fault with Dave Coe as he has always helped me out at short notice and did me a cracking deal on uprated front brake calipers/pad and fitting.
