Z1000 exhaust help

[sneaky biker]

hey guys just had a spil at Oran Park and mashed one of my titanium slip on Akrapovic's (right side), just looking for the cheapest way to replace, i have a few options but looking for more!

1. reskin one side in stainless which wont match the other side $150
2. reskin both sides including the undammaged side in stainless $300
3. reskin dammaged pipe in titanium $800
4.order new canister from US $750ish

ok so does anyone know of anyone who might have a single pipe sitting around, or any connections in sydney or aus that might be able to help me out thru ither cheaper titanium reskinning or know of a supplier that could do a good price on a right side Akro Titanium.

feel free to add any input, ideas or other

cheers.....

Can you post up a pic of the damage? if it is only on one end of the pipe I would shorten both, that way its costs you nada

This pipe had a massive dent in the bottom so I cut 6" of it.

hmmmm me thinks it isnt an option...here it is...

Thats Farked looks like new pipe time

Sneaky..there is a guy in Gosford that reskins pipes next to Central Coast Performance, I think his prices are pretty good, ring the boys there for his number, alternatively will any akra slip on fit ? if not re skin is the best option.

or just ditch the doubles and go 4 into 1 system, a 4 into 1 system off a ZX9 will fit with a little modification also..they are just a tad longer

What a bummer

Cut the good side in half...........

Cut the good side in half...........

Hi all,
The stubby pipe look is great! But if you shorten a pipe like that does it get louder?
