Neptune Mufflers - your views

Reading this little exchange between kendog and Lynda, I just had an epiphany.
(Excuse me while I go and clean up.....)

I just realised summat.

My wife was very impressed on Sunday when we saw a new GSX1400, and again when we saw a new VTR SP at the gas station in Ramarama, and she was VERY impressed when we walked through "the motorcycle precinct" in Melbourne.
She doesn't get to see many nice bikes "up close and personal".
Maybe I should take her to a few bike shops here - she might just see something she likes the look of

Let her buy the next bike, then I don't have to justify it, just ride it for her to pillion on.

I want to find out how much for one for my little 250 but I can't get hold of him...I sent an email via www.neptunemufflers.co.nz and just tried to phone him. Just sold the KR so I have money which is burning a hole in my pocket

He'll get to you

I saw (and heard) a ZX-4 with a Neptune on it on Sunday and it sounded excellent. I reckon a ZXR will just send shivers down your spine when it's going for it.

"The round polished or brushed stainless steel muffler is $575.00 inc gst (bolt on)
The round black finish is $630.00 inc gst."

I've asked for a price on an oval one, in Black of course!

I have been quoted $706 including gst and fitting for a black oval.
I am really crossing my fingers for a Christmas bonus to pay for this

I have a shiny stainless Neptune can with twin ports out on my NC30. Its the best thing I ever purchased for my bike

A lot lighter than the factory can and it totally unleashes that great V4 sound

(those with factory cans still on their nc30/35's should kick themselves as they don't know what they are missing)

$706 for mine too, now the only question left is round or oval?

I head oval was better, but I have no idea why.
Does anybody know what the difference is?

They look better IMO, and they increase ground clearance slightly.

I personally think oval looks better too - slimmer and sleeker......

Purchased Neptune exhaust and "Y" piece for my BMW Rockster just before Chrissy.Total package much lighter than original items. Nicely made, beautiful fit, however a higher state of polish on "Y" piece and inlet on exhaust would not have gone astray. Pipe looks a treat. Sound is not as deep as I would have liked although this may be due to the flat twin engine configuration of the BM. Having said that it does have a nice growl from very low (1500 rpm) revs. The extra power in low. mid and to a lesser extent high revs is worth the transition alone. The bike now chirps the rear tyre from takeoff whilst keeping the front down. It didnt do that before the exhaust went on. My only criticism is as previously mentioned, the state of polish including the clamps. The pipe itself and end piece are excellent though. I guess in this respect I am comparing to the Staintune product with wich every component comes highly polished. If Neptune addresses this it will enhance an already top product that comes with a more than competitive price tag and good customer service.
