there are a few companies making repros of the 4/2. But sadly the quality is shocking from the Italian mob who make them. I did group buy for the club and half of us received systems with QA issues or damaged in transit..

There is a UK company who can make up a 4/2 for you. I believe someone on here had some made recently.
The company is OSPipes.

I believe he stopped making them a while ago now,
I don't know if there are any 4 > 2 options left.
I had to pass up a set due to bad timing money wise,
but have been looking again.

OS has retired Nigel.
Maybe exhaustcraft could do a repop out of stainless. Gotta be worth an ask.

Alternatively a booze cruise an a trip to Dunkirk you could call in to bazaar de la becane who do a stainless set.
Or if it floats your boat a trip to Amsterdam red light district and a detour to London exhausts (Holland) also do a repop set.
