ooops!

Hi all,
         The new exhaust has spent two years residing on top of a wardrobe, the time has come to unwrap and fit------oh sh*t.

What type is it?
'Then' and 'than' are completely different words and have completely different meanings. Same with 'of' and 'have'. Set and sit. There, their and they're. Set/sit. Bought/brought FFS. Bloody Americans.

Looks like a BSK (Dutch maker I think) that I once had....

Are those headers fitted to the correct exhaust ports ??

Hi,
     It's a Marshall Deeptone (Dutch) and the pipes are in the correct exhaust ports 1-1,2-2 etc., if you could see it, the pipes cannot go anywhere else and line up parallel, just a 50-60 mm gap between the two"pairs"---ken

It's not to bad I bet there is a custom exhaust firm out there that can make a couple new headers.
Not ideal I know but still salvageable.

Have you tried putting number 1 at the other end and working from that?

Hi all,
           Perseverance has given a possible contact at the makers, two new pipes a strong possibility-----Ken

Hi all,
            Update, the spare pipes arrived and with some hacksaw use I ended up with this end result.
            A word of warning, anyone thinking of dealing with Raw Power Motorcycles, if things go wrong, you will be totally ignored once they realise you have a problem, despite my friendly first approach for help and saying I was willing to pay for said help!
