the exhaust only took 15 mins to fit the new one, the old one took me ages to get off
went out for a quick spin and its not as loud as I expected but a nice tone, tempted to take the baffle out and see what its like. But I think I will have to remove the exhaust to get the baffle out which is a bit of a pain

I am 27, with 1 years NCB, had my license for 1 yr 8 months now, but only a year when I got it. Depends what you count as ridiculous, I cant remember what I paid exactly as I paid it off in full as I just got a bonus from work, I think it was around £650 with all the mods declared, commuting, 5k a year mileage, pillion etc etc, was happy when I rang them today and they said it was no extra charge for the exhaust as long as it was less than 5% increase in BHP, the quoted figures are about 4% which I dont really believe
on the plus side is I can sell the bike for about 1k more than I paid for it, so 2nd hand values have gone up nicely, not that I have any plans on selling it

How much of the original system does it keep, that big box underneath?
