forgot about muzzy. i prefer pipes either side than a single pipe, a personal thing really.... at work i have the tools to cut the cats out totally if i really wanted to, cut out and replace with straight pipe, that's certainly an option...

here in oz, we've been ordering through Zanotti motors. Yamaha oz wanted nearly 3,500aud for the parts to rebuild my 05 head. got them from Zanotti's for 809aud inc. postage.

yup, valve guides/stem seals. the first noticable signs were an ever decreasing fuel economy, it started to burn oil slightly ( and in the end noticeable), and blokes following me noting that it was blowing smoke, particularly when under hard accel. So a leak down test was done which showed...

Who else makes aftermarket header pipes for the FJR? apart from Holeshots. i have a set of cans coming my way, Beowulf cans, but, you know how it is, why not a set of nice bling bling headers... i don't use the 02 sensor anymore, and i'm not particularly green, so why not ditch the cats...
