The headers are Kerker I think...but the tail pipe isn't,it sounds like a feckin moped, so its gotta go.

I already had a kerker badge that was put on the said pipe,to me it was like putting a Ford badge on a Holden. :shock:

Ordered 2 systems from 2 different US company's...they both stuffed me around as well....paid for the pipes only to be told there was nil stock. :roll:

Ended up getting it form ebay "link below" with the freight cost being $150.00.... the seller sent as a gift to cut down the cost. :kuda:

You are doing a great job with that rebuild

That black Kerker is a sweet looking pipe, I have been checking them out and keep putting off the purchase while I decide which way to go with my project. The Vance and Hines is a little cheaper but the Kerker sounds great, and the black is awesome.

I dont think it matters too much whether they write gift or not as we dont pay import tax under $1000

cheers

The body work has been painted....came up a treat. :kuda:

Now for the painstaking job of fitting the pin stripes, then having them clear coated over.

Heres a quick look.....
