hey guys just had a spil at Oran Park and mashed one of my titanium slip on Akrapovic's (right side), just looking for the cheapest way to replace, i have a few options but looking for more!

1. reskin one side in stainless which wont match the other side $150
2. reskin both sides including the undammaged side in stainless $300
3. reskin dammaged pipe in titanium $800
4.order new canister from US $750ish

ok so does anyone know of anyone who might have a single pipe sitting around, or any connections in sydney or aus that might be able to help me out thru ither cheaper titanium reskinning or know of a supplier that could do a good price on a right side Akro Titanium.

feel free to add any input, ideas or other

cheers.....

Can you post up a pic of the damage? if it is only on one end of the pipe I would shorten both, that way its costs you nada

This pipe had a massive dent in the bottom so I cut 6" of it.

hmmmm me thinks it isnt an option...here it is...

Thats Farked looks like new pipe time

Sneaky..there is a guy in Gosford that reskins pipes next to Central Coast Performance, I think his prices are pretty good, ring the boys there for his number, alternatively will any akra slip on fit ? if not re skin is the best option.

or just ditch the doubles and go 4 into 1 system, a 4 into 1 system off a ZX9 will fit with a little modification also..they are just a tad longer

What a bummer

Cut the good side in half...........

Fark me, that would actually work !!!!

good work disco..

oh no's! im a bit nervous...i just made the call and my pipe is being sent away to be cut in half....thanks for the idea guys....its gonna be hell cheap and i guess it will make my zed more custom, just hard to say goodbye to an undammaged pipe! ill post pics for anyone interested when its done, gotta get the tank and tail sorted too, thats next on the list, new paint for them!

Sent away You don't own an angle grinder?

21 yr old female here.....lol no...i also want it properly done

plus the bike is sitting at a freind of mines workshop so he is sorting bits and peices out for me

Hi all,
The stubby pipe look is great! But if you shorten a pipe like that does it get louder?
