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]

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) :(

[Manxmann]

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

Absolutely - I've got a pair of standard boxes I can use while you're polishing mine!! :~

[Manxmann]

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

[ColinE]

Fair enough - look good though - glad you found a set!

[pessling]

if people want to send them to me, paying postage both ways, i can do them, done mine and they are gooooood.

[Manxmann]

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]

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]

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 ):)

[Stu C]

Re the extra tubes, i put mine in and tapped them further with the butt of a screwdriver and nicley lodged :) Been in for a few thousand miles now covered all sorts of roads and speed and thems still there...just ask the neighbours :stir ;)

[Blue Flash]

Sorely tempted to give it a whirl!!,but..1 early starts and ..2 cul-de-sac..3 will more than likely equal complaints,what d'ya think... :~

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!

[Blue Flash]

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.

[pessling]

no complaints so far and i can get home any time between 12-6am

[Blue Flash]

6" X 2" STEEL TUBE ...is that right? ;)

[pessling]

7 x 2 paul.

[ColinE]

I'm still wavering - enough issues with local council as it is
