Only problem is that Santa needs your Visa or Mastercard numbers first... so pm me your details with those special numbers, then I can arrange with santa to drop some goodies off

Oh and he does not do COD

No offense to the local fabricators... but I do not think anyone locally can make a decent exhaust system. Just look at the collector and you'll understand.

The exhaust is from CB performance (actually made by Big Al's headers in CA) It's a 1 7/8" header with 7 degree collector.

I am sure that should I give old Kevin, from EP Mufflers this photo, he will knock it out with in a week.

Having seen some of the local fabrication I would say some of our local fabricators could make those easily and to that standard BUT i dont think it would cost what you paid for it, probably be a fair bit more.

Are you going to run your AFR on there some where as well? I must still chat to you about getting a few more of those bungs.

I'm sure it will be more expensive to make locally. The only person I've seen come close it viper exhausts when it comes to making a collector.

My plan is to make a 63mm pipe with a silencer again with a lambda bung. I've got one of those mr turbo cat cutout silencers that I intend using. The engine just sounds so much nicer with a silencer than with the stinger.... funny it actually makes more power with the silencer setup.

JamesD69, are you racing at kylami? I can bring you a couple of those lambda bungs.

I would not mind a Viper exhaust. One of two of the Lotus Challenge guys have them, stunning work.

I dont think the stingers aid exhaust scavenging in any way, that taper is similar to having your four pipes open to air. While the silencer atleast maintains a semi constant diameter and gives a section through which all four pipes flow is passed hence aiding the scavenging effect, each successive outlet stroke helps pull the following stroke. But i might be far off...

Ya, entering the two sprint races and the endurance race, should be fun. Yes please, tell me what i own you for them, Thanks.

I have a 1 3/4" with stinger, way too loud and noisy for daily use, I have no idea how the dudes in the US can have these on a daily driver.
BTW managed to get my hands on a Carbon fiber Superbike exhaust silencer,should sound a lot better, haven't tried it yet but looks damn cool.
