Mercury Exhaust Question
So I've got a full system with hand-welded sections and a Mercury Ti end can. It's missing a few clamps and bits and bobs and I was curious if Mercury is still around? I haven't been able to dig anything up searching here or on Google, and was hoping someone could point me in the right direction...
Cheers!
Cheers!

Re: Mercury Exhaust Question
No mercury has gone mate a few years ago. I enquired about a system last year and it's a no go.

Re: Mercury Exhaust Question
What all is missing and can it not be raplaced with other parts as opposed to being Mercury bits? They are lovely systems too.

Re: Mercury Exhaust Question
Are you after a new system? Hiperform still make full systems and they come in at $735 without a can.

Nope, this system is beautiful and I'm gonna give 'er a go. Hopefully the G-Force boys will have a domestic exhaust source soon... next system I buy will be developed for my 428 Cosworth G-Force motor :D

Re: Mercury Exhaust Question
Very jealous that you've got one of G-Force's engine with the Cosworth pistons, ScottieDucati!! Have you had a chance to test it out yet or are you still in the building phase?
I keep eagerly checking the G-Force website in hope that there's an update, but Mike hasn't done anything yet. It's like motorbike porn what those guys have done to their bikes!

Re: Mercury Exhaust Question
It is, unfortunately lots of delays and a few issues such as a set of ported heads gone missing thanks to a train derailment. The mercury pipe is fitted to my stock motored bike as I'm prepping that to get some chassis development done. She sounds very good for a stock engine, we'll see how it goes but I'm hoping to have the 428 built by June... but the way these things have been going, I wouldn't be surprised if it's not ready for prime time until next year.... 
for some good luck!
