New Stainless System - Bargain...

Just obtained a "new" (never fitted) polished stainless system form Ebay UK for £110 - began fitting to bike today.
Very pleased with the overall construction, however, lack of "tabs" at rear of collector means no way that original exhaust collar will fit/work. So I've had to drill the link pipe and collector stub and secure with self-tappers. Probably needs another one at least but was keen to get it assembled.

I also took the opportunity to replace the (repaired - badly - by a PO) clutch cover. Although there is some oxidisation damage to the alloy further forward I decided to strip and polish the cover. The bit that will be visible once the fairing is back in place will be nice and shiny.

I've think I've seen those listed, but I'm always wary of "deals" on ebay.  Do you remember who the retailer was?  Most importantly, how does is sound?  Insert audio clip below.

These were a private listing. The seller reckoned he bought the system some years ago and didn't get around to fitting it and no longer owns a Viffer. As such this was listed as a used item - though clearly never used. I will let you know how it sounds with my existing hi-level Venom can re-fitted. Just fannying around with a broken exhaust stud before I can install the front pipes...

Exhaust stud issues now sorted thanks to a mate of mine. System now fully fitted and working and looking so much better than the stock item. Will report on performance when I've had it out for a longer ride.
