Agreed.. certainly when it comes to bikes, but horses seriously hate Microns lol, living in the sticks i soon found that out.. especially two strokes!

Once had a ladon a pit bike think he was clever when I was out with one of my Mayes shire horses, he revved, shire kicked, bike got broke.....
Thank god I was on him though, he was bomb proof, other ones not so much.

no matter how much the ragazzon makes sense, i can't help ending up looking at the Magnetti! Over £400 for an aluminiumised steel exhaust is a lot of cash but what a sound!

Not a fan of that sound to be honest

good quality aluminiumised steel can out last poor quality stainless steel

cool, didnt know that!

:yeahthat:

Ok i suppose if it's a two stroke like say a RGV 250 ??

That's really tinny sounding, better would be a deeper tone sounding over oem, pleased with our's, it just seems to be getting better and better and perhaps reached it's plateau now.
Might just be me but, since fitting a K&N panel yesterday, seems to have ever so slightly changed the exhaust note

Stainless will last the lifetime of the car. Steel whether it's aluminised or not won't.

That exhaust really does sound horrible.

Doesn't look like they fit very well though, sticking out to much

the cheap grades wont, they rust, that is why a large chain exhaust maker only guaranteed to last a lifetime if the car has the same owner, they rely on people selling the cars before the exhaust needs replacing.

same reason cheap stainless knives and forks rust in a dish washer

Er.. if i could make the panda sound as awesome as an RGV 250 i'd love it, don't get that sound with 7,000rpm unfortunately. I like the tinny sound, it gives it character and sounds like i'd expect an italian car to, if it was just a deep sound it would sound like every other small engined car out there with not much power.

Yea the Abarth wheels fit, they don't look too bad a fit to me, but it needs 40 profile tyres and lowering, i've looked at these wheels before as come up on ebay now and again and don't go for alot as 17s seem to be prefered on the 500's
