I don't remember making a pipe for a PE 400, but if it looked great then I will take responsibility for it ;D

The RD pipes I list as $814.00 pair - unplated

I would need your bike to build your pipes but I wouldn't be able to think about it till later in the year.

dont worry, GMC your memory isnt fading. Michael has just got things a little wrong. the PE 400 he mentions has a stock pipe with a special silver coating and a alloy muffler made by Stackers M/C

a bit expensive when you consider exchange rate and shipping i think i may leave it standard but someone had some barrells and heads and from what i hear they are a big improvement so maybe i should give them ago thanks Michael. :)

A "bit expensive" :o :o :o. Try 'frigging outrageous' :-[ for bling that will probably be have less performance than standard ::).

I agree, motocarrera machine the stock heads with a more modern profile and it does wonders for performance spread and it's a darn site cheaper too.

if all dg heads cost that much i will have to go stock ones even machined but i think i seen some like $200 us one time but still i dont like to buy o/s unless i really need it i cant really justify buying heads if they are outrageous because the stock ones are fine and work and i had it running and it sounded very good but my exhausts are rusty and a bit dinged so fairly expensive to get redone i would reckon thanks for the advice even though i would never have bought those at that price thanks Michael. :)
