G'day,
I live in the Canterbury area and just recently got a 2002 VN1500 Mean Streak and am keen to replace the stock standard exhausts on it. I intend to keep the stock ones complete and get the most out of sound of the big v-twin engine with new ones as the originals are barely audible.
Possible options as I see it so far are:
1. Buy from USA via the internet eg Cobra or V & H.
2. Get a local shop to import them in and fit.
3. Buy locally made from various NZ manufacturers who say they make great quality products.
I would like to ask any forum members out there (whether in the area or not) what their opinions/ experiences of the locally produced product is like compared to imported. Also if anyone in the Canterbury area has any pipes made up by local people and some opinions please. Not looking at any other performance mods just yet. Will need to save more $.
Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks.
