I got mine from the USA at a good price but postage etc was expensive and you take a chance on condition even with lots of pics.

all my own work! I got them two or three years ago as they were only about £40 ish to buy plus post and import costs. Still worked out much cheaper than the advertised ones you are looking at. I cleaned them with autosol and wire wool. The front pipes are welded into the collector box from new, after being chromed i think because the ends are painted silver and covered by a chromed shield.

I was just going to ask that as Ive asked the chap to provide photos and he's happy to send them in the week so we'll see. He says that two have what he describes as exhaust paste on them so maybe has tickled em a bit if the crush ring maybe failed? Anyway, we'll see when he gets back to me. Thanks for the help, not knowing what a good un is, its quite hard to judge! :)
