Yep, that one isnt stock. Stock system is 2 1/4 inch. What is your clearance going to be like with the pipe going under the fuel tank?

Aye, looks nice, but yeah, I wouldn't have run it under the fuel tank... Don't want to bottom out & have a hot exhaust pipe puncture the tank.

Re: My new custom exhaust system :)
1. I agree on it being probably too close to the fuel tank (at least put some sort of insulation for the heat and maybe to absorb any shock from bottoming out)
2. I'm keen to hear that exhaust note, it has minimal bends and it doesn't look like there's a resonator in there!!
3. Your old exhaust would have done the job fine... But still interesting to see a video

Re: My new custom exhaust system :)
thanks guys yep i didn't put any resonator in there..sounds loud alright..
here's the pic for the clearance.. it's roughly about 2" from the tank to the pipe.. anyway should i wrap the pipes or fixed a heat mat under the tank? but i like the looks of those shiny pipes will post the video up once i have record it

Re: My new custom exhaust system :)
Probably just use header wrap to the length of the pipe that is underneath the tank...

Re: My new custom exhaust system :)
Just on a side note, I think you should get a matching set of rubber on the back rims as any police officer checks them they will defect you.
But then thinking about it, you would not have that problem over there
sh*t laws we have

yeah mate, the pattern wouldn't matter, they will only check for the tyre thread depth

Mine was sold to me with RWC about a year ago.
It still has the non-matching tyre pattern on it.
And the tyre rotation is wrong way as well.

Mate if I was you I would get them fixed for your own safty.
If the tyre rotation is on the wrong way it can make you aquaplain in the wet big time, as it would be pushing the water to the center of the tyre not away from it.
the tyre life will also be less having them that way as well.
