TNT exhausts is no more.

Post by calooker »

TNT manufacturers of exhausts, roll cages & the like, are no more, after 30 years in the business, constant labour issues & the downturn in the economy, according to the owner, left him with no choice, another 22 people added to the long list of the unemployed. Sad :|

Also found that out early in the year.
Found another performance exhaust builder that I was very satisfied with.
Viper Performance Exhausts, they are in Kempton Park. Speak to Abel dos Santos.
Wanted parts:
Left sunvisor
Sink faucet
Exhaust to swap for Beetle exhaust

I spoke to the owner in January, he was fed up with all the issues and decided over December just not to open up again In January, maybe he had a change of heart....

There are guys in Ontdekers with decent CNC mandrel bending machines but, attitude and prices suck. Paid R3000 for Phat boy style muffler that bolts to branch.
