Jvan · #1 09-24-2015, 08:25 PM

I have a Stebro midpipe in my 94 SVX and I need to update the exhaust system.I have tried to locate them on the web but can't seem to find a current web address on Google. Anyone have contact info or used Stebro parts for sale?

They have been around since 1956, I don't know what happened to their business practices in the last while but there are a lot of complaints.
They are located in Nepean, Ontario which is part of Ottawa, not far from me. Here is their contact information:

50 Slack Rd, Nepean, ON K2G 3N3 phone# 613-212-8765

Here's what I found on Google:https://www.google.ca/webhp?sourceid...ebro+ottawa+on

Their websites are for sale but this is the recent contact email for sales: sales@stebro.net or dan@stebro.net

Update: It appears the owner Dan Petschenig passed away October 29, 2013. A former employee is still operating. Sergey Blazhko phone#(613) 400-7589
I found this info on ferrarichat.com.

I think it is best to avoid doing business with Stebro.

From what I read Sergey Blazhko is a real stand-up guy who stands behind his work. Stebro is no longer in existence.

Just called Serge, he definitely sounds like a honest and passionate guy.

He says that he still have all the old Stebro templates for the svx + he can improve it and customize it the way we want (tips, size, etc).

Only downside is that he want to have the car at his shop for extra measurements. That would cause problem for you US fellas. Maybe you could negotiate something over a exact Stebro replica?

Would be great to have a group buy of some sort, he could test fit it onto my car and ship it to you.

I have had the Stebro mid pipe installed on my 94 for over 15 years and never had a problem. The installation was a direct fit and went in smoothly. I have read about a lot of problems w/exotic cars and Stebro but my experience was excellent w/product and customer service but it was 15 years ago. Hope we can do something w/new owner.

I had recently noticed all of this when searching for an exhaust for a customer's newer Outback XT. There isn't much available for that car and they were one of few who made a system for it. If you guys do some kind of group buy this guy would be interested in a 2005-2009 Outback XT catback.

Serge called me and is interested in supplying exhaust systems but wants a car to measure components to tweak the templates he has from Stebro. I'm not interested in arranging a Group Buy but if someone wants to arrange it Serge is willing to work with us. Sounds like a good guy but I'm too far away near NYC to meet with him. He did have some suggestions for me to try locally before selling me a part, so he isn't out to just take a customer's money.
