    Exhuasts hand made in Adelaide ...soon



    i dont mean to repeat myself, i said i dont mean to repeat myself. BUT
    i thought it might be a good idea to post in this section also. some of you were a great help last year with advise, when i asked for it, just to jog your memories, I have finally been granted our visas to emigrate to adelaide (because i have friends there before you ask) over here in england my hand vrafted exhausts have been pretty sought after since i started making them in 1998, read more and see more here www.karitsuperformance.co.uk , well afetr we settle , i shall be testing the market for my silencers and parts that i make,and boy have i saved the best designs for you guys! we hope to be leaving great (haa thats a laugh) britain behind late november this year..
    the picture here was of a full 2 inch system i made on the mandrel tube bender i had, with 4 exhausts 2 polished stainless and 2 coloured titanim, all made by me, cost him at the time about £1000.00 and a bleddy week solid to make... thats the kinda stuff you can expect, this was featured in streetfighters Uk, at the time massive spread.. take care. cheers Dave Gartland.. the man that can, or will at least try.

    no it aint, cos i aint comin over as an exhaust manufacturer, i can take it or leave it, i got plenty of other stuff to do, i will be doing it part time IF I DECIDE TO DO IT,to keep the overheads and costs low so people can afford to buy, been there done all that, my trade is a sheet metal worker i already have several job offers and im a photogrpaher also, www.plymouthphotography.co.uk
    and as for noise..
    FEK it sounded like no other, if its an old gsxr 1100 with two exhausts, maybe, if the plastics are off, i have done similar on kawasaki zx9R . anything is possible...
    im still pisd about the sales pitch comment !!!!

    Well a while back they tried to ban ANY can without a correct manufacturers stamp on it (in queensland at least) effectively putting an end to the after market can industry. Lasted about 5 minutes. So now they can do you if they feel grumpy... but usually you only have a problem if they are targeting an area for hoons or if you do something stupid like a wheelie past them... but hey I still got off

    Daniel...
    you have seen my cone silencer??? hell then i have some designs for you, tapered cones, triumph raygun style tripple outlets, cones with oval style ends, cones cones and more rudy cones... haaaaaaa..

    back to the police thing, do you guys have MOT tests? i used to fit silencers with a bsau stamp, probably not relevant in Oz, but i never wrote anything on them, especially " not for road use "

    It sounds like your cans are sweet sounding
    but loud. Ever thought of making a removable
    silencer to go in your cans?
    You know, for rego n stuff?

    oh yess, yess!! i'm ever developing though. nw i'd like to pay tribute to the orig honda four on my cbr900 bu putting twin tapered shiney shinies on either side. what do ya think i'd love to see pics of tapered pipes. but i'm certainly not setting anything in stone. i'll be glad to let your inspiration flow mate.

    i'm not in the metal sort of trades so can't help on materials suppliers though sorry mate.

    ooooohhh ellll !!! less than 2 weeks to go... and we will be in OZ... as for a workshop im not sure yet, I was kinda hoping to work from home, from experience why should i pay taxes on renting properties orkshops etc, when i can keep my prices low and pass that on to you guys. however i dont know what the rules are on that sort of thing, i will try and keep it as a sideline, i need a full time job first... and for the shot gun pipes in stainless steel, the last ones i did were £375.00. which i would guess around $700.00 ish..
