    Fit an O2 Eliminator and do away with it.

    The bottom end will be much smoother with this done.

    Yep - there's a weld with a nut ready for the O2 sensor. There's also a blanking bolt/washer should you not wanna use it.

    I should have bought the yoshi in the first place - the taylormade really was crap compared to the R77.

    I emailed him, he invoiced me via paypal, and sent the item over described as an exhaust value $100 hence the £28 import fee - any smaller value and the HMRC alarm bells would go off - be aware delivery takes about 2 1/2 weeks and keep an eye on the tracking. As soon as it comes into the UK the tracking number changes as its picked up and delivered by parcel force who pay the £28 - once you have a UK tracking number you can ring up the holding depot and get your HMRC payment ref and pay it online - if you dont do this, it will delay the delivery by about 4 or 5 days as the PO have to write to you to get you to pay the import fee.

    HTH - Kev.

    Same as sync24, again said they would value it as $100 to keep the import tax low. Just wondering though if it gets lost surely you won't just get credited the $100 ? And again guys thanks for all the info !

    Thats the gamble of under value-ing items mate, if it gets lost/stolen they'll only pay out what it was insured for

    Wicked mate - you wont be disappointed - fitting was OK and I am not that handy with the spanners - The only thing I struggled with was the exhaust heat shield bracket which I had to bend to get the exhaust on - I need to spend another 20 mins or so adjusting mine so It fits nice and flush with the belly pan. Also - look out for the very unique packing when you open the box!!!

    Been tracking mine through UPS and on 29th Aug it was received at Heathrow and awaiting Customs clearance, checked again today and it's STILL awaiting Customs clearance on parcel forces tracking site ?? Did you get a phone call or email with details on how to get in touch with them ?

    Mine took about 6 or 7 days to clear customs, once it's out delivery [subject to you paying import duty] is pretty quick - I got mine in 3 days
