Anyone ever had a custom exhaust made for them in titanium?

    Its normal, if I order something (it will be wrong or broken) it will be at least three attempts to get the right part, fit the right part, and so on, even then I end up making my own.

    I'm not far off the same! Called B&C Express (Arrow Dealer) and they have ordered the right part number according to the fiche (does anyone still use these!). Waiting to hear back from them what the outcome is.. Arrow may have packed the wrong item in the right bag if that makes sense!

    Can all cleaned up and polished now.. will post up pics later on :)

    Microfiche is such a massive resource and a piece of piss to scan to high resolution. For 'legacy' (manufacturers don't like you using the word discontinued if they can still make money out of the parts. Epson will discontinue a printer, put 15% on the cost of a cartridge and call it 'a legacy product' so you think you're paying for some kind of privilege ) parts, some apprentice will be given a £40 scanner, sent into the parts loft for a week and voila, a high tech, 21st century database for the website.

    Wow your tool box has the same name as you. What's the odds of that happening? Can't be that common unless your name is Mr Snap-On ;)

    I can't lie, I'm feeling a tad emotional right now. I'm pretty certain I've never influenced anyone before.

    I have the full Ti Arrow on mine and it does sound great. Not too noisy on the db front though. Mine passes most noise tests at UK tracks without a baffle.

    New "correct" banding arrived today, so finally got the exhaust back together. I had it in with standard rivets while I was playing about with the HM GP shifter.. now all looking shiny :)

    Only pain in the neck.. my rivet gun wouldn't take the un-usual rivets with the groves on them.. so had to invest in another rivet gun that took the larger 6mm rivets! :)
