What a rip off!!

Well after 8 years, about 6 years on the car and 42000 miles the exhaust I bought off Paul (gsx600) has rotted away! ;^)

To be more precise, the straight under-diff pipe has rotted, and has more holes than the wife's colander.

However the stainless centre box is still in good nick (despite many scrapes) so I am fabricating a new rear pipe. The selection on the flea has really improved over the years and I'm going up from 2 1/2" pipe to 3" so I expect a fruitier sound.

Also I'm getting swaged sections that clamp together which should make fitting and removal of sections much easier. Once I get the bits lined up in place I'll post up some piccies.

That's appalling!

Terrible. You need a refund from Paul 😁

[adam quantrill]

Ha ha! Well the bits have just arrived, and the pipe is so wide it wouldn't look out of place on a Saxo!

I think I had better squash it oval in a couple of places before it gets squashed by the first speed bump.

I reckon it will sound awesome, I used to play the tuba and managed to get a nice gruff note out of it.

I've just got to join it onto the tailpipe section which is already stainless that I made a few years ago. Hopefully cleaning up the slightly industrial look under the rear of the car.

Lets hope you dont have to get the welder out

[adam quantrill]

Yeah I'll be welding on the rear hanger - watch this space! ;^)

Unfortunately the adapter I ordered arrived with the wrong size so the operation is on hold for a few days while they sort that out...

I had a 3" round system on the 400SE ... these days its very elliptical and battered !!
