Hello all.
After re-mortgaging my house I bought one of the few sets of 4 into 4 pipes from DSS. This leaves me with the 4 into 2 exhaust which I’ve just removed and although a looking a little used with a couple of scratches, dings and thin chrome, they are too good to throw in the skip.
If you PM me I can send a video of what they sound like; a little unusual as pipes 1 and 4 end up in one silencer and 2 and 3 in another – normally it seems 1 & 2 then 3 & 4 are linked together. This leads to some crossovers underneath the engine but it all fits together well and I’ve labelled everything so should be a fairly easy job.
I should say that they are rather loud; they look like they have baffles but only very ineffective ones (the end cones are removable if you wanted to stuff something in there). Bit loud for me at my age (and the neighbours) but would have loved these in the 70s. Reminds me of the megaphones I had on my CB250K2 after the original pipes rotted out – an anti-social blast through the Blackwall Tunnel was something that sticks in my memory and probably shouldn’t.
So, there they are: too good to chuck out but will suit someone who is building a special. Use them as they are or paint them up or wrap the downpipes in heat resistant tape?
Looking for £40 plus postage (7 kilos costs about £20 2nd class). Or collect from Cheltenham, Glos.
