Talk to me about exhausts

[Sannox]

Just replaced my original exhaust with a second hand Fuel one off fleabay (£120 for the complete system) the original went the way of all of them, rotted underneath, my 1st fix was to clean it all up, get some ally sheet and form it around the pipe to fit, bug some gun gum on and rivet it all together then a lot of paint, it worked for about a year, got through an MOT test as well, but, the alluminium didn't rot but the steel did, so, took off the ally plating, cleaned it all up and had it welded, which, apparently, was a sod of a job as the metal left was so thin, the welder was just eating it away but in the end, it was done and passed the following MOT but with frowns from the tester and mutterings about no chance next year matey! Well, that time aproaches, so, time for stainless, so should outlast the bike :-)
