Default Exhaust questions and E-Bay

Ok, so I want an exhaust for my K4 that is cheap so it doesn't hurt so much when I throw it down the road. Loudness is not such an issue for me but I don't want to get any points. Finally, I would like to be able to return the bike to stock when I sell it sometime in the future.

Soooo, basically I need a cheap, road legal full system.

I saw this on ebay

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...971600674&rd=1

and thought it looked cheap. Can I get the other pipes from blue flame (or who ever) to create a full system, thereby avoiding having to cut the stock pipe?

Also, what do people think of these?

Thanks...

the first one looks nice, but you will still have to cut the pipe as it is a slip on, not a full system. They supply the link pipe, so all it takes is a quick cut with an angle grinder. A full system won't be cheap, and if you're scared of grinding it down the road, just get a slip on, and a R&G exhaust protector

the second just looks like a standard SV exhaust - why would you want to buy one when you already have one

Yeah they have adapters to refit the original can, however the seller on ebay has probably used them.

Because it's cheaper than buying it from suzuki? Of course, I'd prefer a race can.

Yeah but it's crazy to spend minimum £300 on standard pipework, before you've even bought the race can, you'd be looking at £500 in total. You could almost get a full akrapovic systems for that.

You could always pickup a mid section to avoid cutting your current system. They appear on ebay from time to time and seem to go between £10-£30. That way you can put the original can on the bike when you come to sell without a nasty patched exhaust.

That's what i'm doing anyway.. just got to work out how to get to the rear collector clamp now....

Ok so this is what Joe told me also. The ideas is that I fit a new mid section and the cut that to fit a new link pipe and slip on can - right?

I'll take a look out on e-bay for one...
