Default Replacement exhaust suppliers?

Hi all, I have tried various searches but am struggling to find the information I am after.

Can anyone recommend any online retailers that sell curvy exhausts please? Ideally standard spec, but would consider an aftermarket item. It looks like my 2002 is developing a crack in the middle..

Dave

I have to wonder why, but here is what you asked for.

ebay usually has a number of 2nd hand standard systems on offer for not a lot of cash.

Alternatively you can look into a full system for more go from the engine. Where exactly "in the middle" is the crack as the standard system is comprised of a few parts.

That is ridiculous! For that you could have a full M4 system and have enough change for an aftermarket rear shock.

Why on earth is a piece of pig iron so expensive?

Original equipment parts are generally more expensive than 3rd party. Some are actually quite reasonable, and a guaranteed fit and quality, others are just silly and clearly only ever going to be purchased by insurance companies.

I recently costed some parts for my Kawasaki up. I believe the rear tyre was a little over £300...
