What do we reckon team?

Gonna be looking at about 100 bucks each to make those z pipes
Does that seem a bit steep to you? Would you still be keen on one or two?

I reckon might be worth trying to buy existing at that cost aye

and the quote has come from a Kiwi-Maker so I completely understand the "setup & effort" charges

Great photo, thanks!  Always a bit odd seeing your wheels in a previous 'life' lol

Ordered a set from Plum Krazy, so will be a resit for WOF, but on the plus side, it'll be a one year WOF.

Thanks heaps for the info, much appreciated.
