I believe Moto Rapido were making their own 999/749 exhaust systems - the one I saw in there a few months ago was stunning :cool:

Personally? No !

But I used to work at a CAA/AQD approved metal stockholder and sold lots of exotic metal alloys to the aerospace industry. High heat nickel alloys, aerospace grade aluminium and titanium, that sort of stuff. We sold it in every type of form as well such as sheet, bar, tube, hexagonal section etc.

During this time I had a load of contacts with small engineering businesses, fabricators of all manner of aircraft parts and even one man outfits who specialised in milling or welding or some such trade. The sort of 'lifetimes experience' blokes who could probably knock something like that up in their sleep.

I still say that £2.5K is a silly amount of money for an exhaust.

Posdn,

Cough up and join the DSC and you get 10% off bits at some dealers. If you are thinking of Blowing £1k at a dealers on a drainpipe you'll be well ahead on the deal.

It never ceases to amaze me what some will pay for stuff on e-bay.
