Yamamoto half system advantages?

Post by Wacko Jacko » Sat May 22, 2010 10:56 am

What are the advantages of having a yamamoto half system?

What price would u expect to pay for a 2nd hand one?

Thanks

Jack

Ahh, a fellow eBay watcher?

I'm a bit worried about the "can will need new baffle" bit, cos as far as i know, those cans are welded, and opening them up would cost as much as the system itself. Having said that, I can't see why a race system would have a baffle?

Josh is right the can will be fooked inside by now, it'll need cutting, repacked and re-welded. Plus its already at £51 + postage which is getting on for top money.

Cheers for the replies lads i'm a bit skeptical about the thing really.

Was more after the pipes really not the end can.

What do the pipes go for on their own any ideas?

Well it went for £101 plus postage. Not unreasonable, but a bit salty for something that needs work, IMO.

I am (still) on the lookout for something similar though if anyone has any leads.

Was that the one for sale with the tailpipe? seller from connor downs Cornwall? Im fairly sure that is Chowder selling that, he is a member on here. i think he had problems fitting it to his NC and gave up, so maybe its damaged in some way.i could be wrong though!

Yeah that was mine, it wasn't damaged I now know why it didn't fit, it was basically because I didnt have the pipes slid over the downpipes far enough, it had a good few inches left to slide on.

That's what you get for letting your lazy father fit them.
And the system itself is sold in exactly the same condition I bought it, all it needs is the can re packing
