Try some of the guys with Ebay stores in the US eg hobart cycle etc. I got mine shipped from Jc's for $146 and it took about a week.

Just a thort, but u could try megacycle exhaust here in melbourne.
Dont have his number on me, but can find it if ur interested?
Or google megacycle, ken is his name and makes a good system, have used him many times over the years.
I reckon he would still have the jigs for it??? worth a try.

He's pretty good price wise, mate u would have to ask, i couldnt say.... but i would say a fair bit cheaper than the cost of getting one from O/S.

im happy with my system it's great and performs well , it's going in for a dyno an jet kit on the 10th so that will be interesting.

on the quality side of things i can't imagine it bieng bad quality as they are a well known and established brand, for that price i don't think you can go wrong.

did you end up doin your valves??

Muzzy is a good choice. Vance and Hines are mainly Harley exhaust makers, I'm surprised that they make one for a Kawasaki. Muzzy is the Kawasaki specialist and his exhausts will give you the best performance. The weight is the only differewnce between titanium and stainless, plus titanuims are always a slight mismatch and it takes a lot of muscle to make them fit your exhaust ports. The stainless is sometimes a bit hard to fit as well but never like titanium. Jim Beam will help you change out your exhausts. Not more than 25 shots, however. Cheers and let us know how it turns out.
