    Shouldn't there be a "Y" shaped piece that they slot into before the pipe rises up to the tail link pipe too ??
    Also judging by the spring locating points, they aren't stock pipes.
    Maybe Akropovic...but obviously hard to know...

    £30...bargain at that price..and if they are Akro and Ti then they are a steal....they sure don't look stainless or mild steel TBH.

    When I took the baffle out of my rear can that was Ti and very similar in colour to that..

    Yes I thought they looked like Ti, but you never know. Will soon tell when they arrive :) OK great just wanted to check they werent stock headers, knew they werent RR4 but perhaps RR6, the guys saying there stock so bit odd.. Worth a punt anyway, he says he has the springs too so not like hes got the wrong picture up

    hehe sorry Martin, he said he was talking to another chap :) Sorry matey, he had the y piece in another auction. Cost me £50 all in :) Why you would sell separately anyway is a bit odd...

    Defo Akra, springs are 8.00 each and the alloy header clamps are 100.00 a set, prob worth 450-500 fit that lot, also 100% Ti.

    I think you should cut them up and sell me the new one for a small profit for yourself
    I'm sure you think different though
