I don't know what kind you are looking for, but I have two sets listed on my site, and can get many more styles.

If at first you don't succeed, beat the pshaw out of the business partner, and then go at it alone! LOL!

The Sidewinder exhaust from Bruce Meyers is one of the best out there for low end torque, depending on the size of the motor. the Jet coated one will stay nice looking for a long time, and if something gets on it , it will clean up very easily. It also sounds great.

exhaust systems?

Postby garthom » 25 Wed Oct, 2006 6:54 pm

I bought a Sidewinder ceramic coated Meyers Manx exhaust system in April. To be blunt it was a piece of junk. Flanges fit poorly, ceramic coating was ugly, slip-in pipes were sloppy loose. Welded horizonal seam on muffler showed on front. Cost $300 with shipping. I paid shipping to return. 8 weeks later I received the 2nd one. It was not much better. Luckily for me it had been manhandled by freight company and damaged in transit. I trial fitted it anyway just to see if it was better & it wasn't. Sent this one back & got money refunded. I wasted over 2 months. Ordered a Trimil Bobtail like GregR's. $210 with shipping. Installed in about 15 minutes & fit like a glove. I also helped a friend install Trimil Bobcat on his buggy & it was high quality & good fit. Buy your parts from a local dealer if possible.
