i recently brought a full arrow exhaust for my Zed.
heres me thinking that i am a wally and can't put on an exhaust when i discover (after paying 3/4 of an hours labour) that it is fine!

heres some tips that they tell you after you pay for this service...

1) they will make a light chuffing noise, due to the excellerated exhaust gases and the thiness of the pipe. (well thats what the mechanic told me)

2) the final (and most important) do about 50 to 100k after fitting and re tighten all bolts and connections. (this maybe an easy observation for some but i didnt know... :wacko: )

in the end i have a very nice sounding exhaust with an improved mid rev range power, so over all very impressed.

Thanks to those who helped me in the previous forum to remedy this issue, i hope that others out there can learn from this saga of mine.

Cheers :niceone:
