a good kb soul - pete376403 - donated the exhaust to my project (gs850) :clap:
the centre header pipes got flattened in an accident and were consequently cut sort of midway down

where in auckland do you recommend i go to have a couple of header pipes fabricated and welded onto the rest? (west auckland, ideally...)

is this going to be as simple as i think it should be or do you have other thoughts?

help appreciated :2thumbsup

Psyguy,
Give Warren (Virgin Mufflers) a call on 021 035-2218, he can pretty much scratch build / fabricate anything to do with exhaust systems

Good prices :niceone:

Good workmanship :2thumbsup

He's based in New Lynn

Cheers

Custom Chambers or Virgin mufflers as others have said......however be aware that the originals are twin wall construction and thats a wee bit harder to fix than "weld a bit on". Take their advice, but be prepared to replace the complete header rather than just the missing bit.
