Just your standard 2.5" single muffler :)

Got it today, put it on, and went to get rego. I let my mum drive seeing as it would be a good idea cause shes not on her P's less chance of getting pulled over/getting a fine. Anyway, on the way back from getting the pink slip guess who pulls us over!!! Highway patrol, lol, they told us to go stright home. I thought you needed to get a permit to drive it to get your pink slip :whistling

Anyway thats done, but found out my tyre was unrepairable :cry: almost brand new to, so i need a new tyre now $130...

VX Series 2
Question about the wheels

Hey there, those are some really nice wheels. If i read correctly, they are for a VX right? How much can you pick those up for these days if you don't mind me asking? I think they'd suit my VX quite nicely!

mmm what brand link pins are those? I need a new set before track day as mine are shagged lol. Not expensive are they? Much involved with installing them? Oh and you'll be pleased to know that new strut tops will probably lift the front off the ground a little bit :p

But good to see you're replacing all those little things that most forget, and it'll handle better too :thumbsup:
