Are the pancake type exhaust systems still available? If so where from?
I have one that is slightly stuffed and I am being quoted around A$1,000 to repair/rebuild it.

Re: Exhaust system
No, they are not available new anywhere. Occasionally we have heard that Wag Aero's repair arm will repair them, then we hear they won't.
What do you mean by stuffed?

Re: Exhaust system
BTW $1000 is half the cost to replace with Hanlon Wilson system. I would have to think hard about keeping the pancakes. This is a decision I may have to make as I also have pancake mufflers.

Re: Exhaust system
Thanks for the info. Yes stuffed = totally useless or beyond repair. The old one was full of corrosion and holes. I have had a new one made $1500.
