I will not bid but if you decide to drop out send me a PM.

Seems like there are a lot of Tourer's in need of some X-powers :)

Good luck, Peter

Is that your Christmas list to Santa, or, are you starting a nationwide chant to try and get some more made or are you the buyer and now gloating.

Being new around here I take it that you can't get Xpowers anymore if so can you still get the Zeros?

Stu C
20-12-2009, 08:46 PM
Haha i think, and this may be just a thought... Manxmann has possibly bought them? :drive

@ Martin - Yeah unfortunatly Xpowers are obsolete now, only chance to get some are second hand or the slight hope of a dealer has a pair stashed away somewhere (unlikely) :(

Sorry chaps, bit carried away there.

Yes with an 11th hour bid, more like 00:45 but hey its only sleep, they are mine!

Assuming everything goes to plan I'll have a pair of 3rd gen Zero's up for sale soon.

Now where can I find some 2" pipe :D

Thanks gents, unfortunately I'm not sure my marriage would survive another pair being cleaned on the kitchen table. :fight2

Fitted today, VERY Happy :D I can see a LOT of petrol disappearing over the next few days.

Interestingly though my wife is adamant they are quieter than the Zero's no figure :confused:

She did also say the sounds was nice though.

PESSLING: What advice do you have for dealing with what looks like tar that has dried up an welded itself to silencer? I was hard and crusty like rust and underneath the stainless was quite pitted.

pessling

Petrol or thinners, will do the trick or removing it.

I also think in certain areas that they are quieter than the zero's my girlfriend also though this. although with the stainless pipe inserted they are definitely not.

Sorry for the intrusion (sort of on topic though) ref the inserts,...would it not/is it not possible to put a thread on the end (albeit a large one!) and screw in to the actual box thus rendering them safe from "popping out" on their own accord under heavy/spirited acceleration,maybe cross drilling the end and fashioning some type of "T" bar tool to remove/secure them?....just a thought that has occurred :~

pessling
27-12-2009, 05:14 PM
yes it would be possible but the pipe is 2.5in which is a very big thread, the only other problem as well it that there isn't really anything within the box to create the female thread. but good idea Paul. I have experimented with spirited acceleration and they still haven't shifted. given that metal expands with hot, may become an even tighter fit compared to the rest of the box that says a little cooler.

Blue Flash
27-12-2009, 08:43 PM
Yes a good point with regards to the expansion,(to be honest never thought of that,that's probably why I am not a Scientist then ) might have a dabble,which will really hack the Old Lass in the corner,who's an old Lincolnshire Land Army Girl and often compares the Zed to...."Sannds like an ol bloody tractor,that thing!"(done in a Lincolnshire accent ):)

Go for it! - I havn't had complaints off the neighbours yet when i start and half 2 in the morning :D Just use it low revs when pulling off it doesnt make too much noise tbh, just when you clog it one afterwards!

Hmmm ;) wouldn't have thought there were any issues with flow,mind you the new Jag XF and the Honda Civic to name but two etc have big ovals/triangles with a pipe in the middle.
