BigPhil Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 (edited) Looking for a new exhaust for my GSX1100EX, don't have the wherewithal for a Legend and googling around, as you do, I found their site. http://www.rastec.nl/OLDs_COOL_PARTS I like the look of the pipes in the photos. Not a fan of the welds on the down pipes though.Anyone got one/had one? Heard anything about them?Phil Edited December 8, 2015 by BigPhil spelling Quote Link to comment

I don't understand :-DSeriously though. Where I live I can easily ride with an open pipe. Quote Link to comment
Rene EFE Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 On-topic; the Jaygui systems are VERY good and the buildquality is second to none. All that's wrong with them is the name 2 Quote Link to comment
BigPhil Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 Any idea why the downpipes are welded half way down? Looking at other systems they seem to be one piece from the manifold to the junction. Especially the fancier hand bent stuff. But even my old Harris pipes looked to be one piece.

matt Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 I think the reason the headers are welded halfway down is because they are tapered and that's probably the only way they can do it.With the recommendations looks like I will be contacting Jaygui about my new pipe then:) 1 Quote Link to comment
BigPhil Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 @matt Ah, yes, the taper would make sense I spose. Not like this then: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8mMQbEkr8w Quote Link to comment
matt Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Nice one, no wonder Yoshi pipes are so expensive:) Quote Link to comment
Gammaboy Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Bizzarely, was in the local bike wreckers today - they're tied in to Gazi suspension some how, and amongst the stuff hanging on the walls in the shop part were a pair of very nice exhaust systems - both Jaygui - one Stainless, one Titanium. Looked to be very nice pieces - very well put together with nice merges, nice tapered sections - genuinely nice bits of kit. Quote Link to comment

Did see they were a Gazi distributor on their website. I wish Gazi weren't such horrific looking things. Quote Link to comment
