    Hi all, new here but have posted in newbie section :)

    1. If i get an exhaust from the states, do you get stuck with customs charges?

    2. what's everyone's favourite

    a. Akra
    b. Yoshi
    c. Taylormade
    d. Two Brothers

    I am leaning towards Yoshimura at the moment, or Taylormade :) Oh, and it has to be black. ;)

    Akra every time for me!

    I got stung when I imported mine, but only £60ish. In all saved hundreds.

    Hi Mel, welcome.

    Gotta be Yoshi for me. R77 Carbon. I've heard lots of bad things about Taylormade - like they always fall apart.

    If you can wait for it, get it posted, rather than couriered. OK, it takes 203 week to arrive, but most of the time you don't get stung by customs. If you get it couriered, you'll get a bill every time.

    Check out what Jonny in the Traders section can do - I know he had a Yoshi that sold but might be able to get more?

    Akropovic always performed the best on blades, though a tad quite in comparison.
    Yoshi almost as good needs a proper fuel map not necessarily there own.
    Taylormade no comment. Good hunting
