ive been offered a show cage to be made up for my new valver but im in two minds about it atm as whether to go for it. my friend works for an exhaust company and can bend all the piping to the right shape etc and weld it all together ready to be bolted in. it would be made from stainless steel exhaust pipe tubing. not sure on the diameter of the tubing yet tho.

as i said, im in two minds atm as to getting one made up. i can only seam to find the ally show cages which stop before the rear seats so would this work?

all views welcome

cheers

A show cage will probably kill you in a crash.

go for a show cage, they look better than saftey cages. If you building a track car get a full cage, if you are building a show car get a show cage. Make sure its made form steel and not aluminum and you will be fine.

As for comments that show cage will kill you - think again!
