it's on off for me too, it's just the good reviews that make it 'look good'. A test drive is what will decide. I would also rather have an old wrx for the same price. Or even a motorcycle license.

Havox what's your budget and preferences for a bike?

A bit of a mindf*** at first trying to riding a bicycle while driving a manual car at the same time with hand and foot controls reversed haha. It was pretty straight forward I think once I got that worked out.

Havox what's your budget and preferences for a bike?

I had an unlimited budget for safety gear, roughly 4-5k for a bike although I'd rather spend less now and save it for upgrades in the future. Preference would be low km, relatively easy to ride and learn on. Currently being boring and looking at Ninja 250s and CBR250s.

Also budget in a tune and supporting mods.

Obtain steel with appropriate diameter (calculate!)

Weld to appropriate length (make sure it is long enough to cool down by the time it reaches the back).

Attach catalytic converter as appropriate.

Weld final exhaust out take.

done

You forgot the wideband O2 sensor, mandrel bending, flange fabrication, screamer pipe and all that good stuff

Yeah definitely need lambdas for appropriate all year performance. Although they'll need some calibration which isn't an easy job. 3 wire is enough unless you have something more performance based.

Flanges you can get away with aftermarket.

Can get away with just welding different pipes if you can't get your hands on a mandrel or any other appropriate pipe bender.

Can buy aftermarket screamer pipe, but not a necessity haha.
