Motad 400-4 pipesets

[motad_uk]

Did you get enough interest from the C90 club to consider making a stainless system for that model?

sorry no- take way the "non enthusiasts" who just want cheap- and there just wasn't enough interest to cover the (v expensive) toiling cost- but keep the enquiries coming!

Got my 400/4 pipes today. Very happy with them. Thank you.

glad you are pleased

we are planning to make a batch of stainless steel systems with stainless silencer- perhaps so you can use for every day use and keep an original system for shows and displays

Hi Ian

When are the stainless silencers that fit onto the stock Honda downpipes and collector likely to be available. I've got excellent downpipes and collector but a rather sad silencer.

Spotted these on eBay yesterday if anyone is interested:

Start price is way cheaper than I paid late last year for the chrome version DS were selling at the time.

I'd be interested in a stainless silencer for my 400four - provided it looks right

[Chris400F]

Can't see anything 400/4 related on the Motad site.
Guess this is a question for Ian, to see if anything came of his Production Meeting back in April.
I'll have to watch and see what the pipes go for.

I have just looked at the stainlees Motad downpipes on ebay. It says 'stainless steel will colour when hot'. Are they talking about the 'blueing' and does this mean they are not double skinned ?. Not that I need a set of pipes but I'm just interested to know.

Not sure Julie but I imagine they would go to a straw colour (will yellow rather than blue). Ian from Motad is bound to know

It's a shame that they would go any colour really Ash. Im lucky, mine are double skinned so no discolouration at all and they look lovely like that.

You are lucky Julie 'cos not even Yamiya are considering repro'ing double skinned headers for the 400/4 iconic exhaust.

[Nurse Julie]

I am very lucky Ash. The complete system on mine is in excellent condition.

Apart from the water inside them

Oh Yes, they do still 'piddle' a wee bit on cold start up
