I'm saying it's not a requirement, and not in the ADR.
What I didn't say was "don't fit them". The point being, we all get upset when some bureaucrat desk jockey makes up rules out of thin air; it's therefore important that we only follow the rules which are written down. Re: general safety requirements. This covers radiuses and sharp edges. Again, no mention of heat or burning. The same ADR applies to motorcycles with exposed headers, yet no heat shield required on them. In short: a consistent approach is what we should have, and hence follow the rules as interpreted by mass manufacturers... They're the ones making money via the ADRs! |
Made in China
Hi there
I recently had pipes made in China with internal Cats, although not yet used all the build quality looks great, welds etc are spot on here is website Cheers Send PM if you want more info Ningbo Grand Exhaust Pipe Co., Ltd |
I could only imagine what a Cobra burn looks like. My wife burned her ankle on an old bike of mine 20 years ago and still wears the mark. she only did it once though.

|
ive just ordered a set just using them as dummy pipes at this stage hopefully they will be here in a few weeks about $750 us for a pair delivered to aust
|
Thanks guys for all the comments, I hadn't thought of China as a viable option. Has anyone bought any other items from the source eg bumpers, overriders, quick jacks etc?
|
|
I purchased the bumper overiders at the same time as the pipes, again quality looks good cast and polished stainless
Cheers |
Just a thought...Maybe get them ceramic coated on the inside. That might reduce the heat soak a bit.
|
Oilman,
the pipes on gumtree look suspiciously like the ones I got from China. At around half the price of those offered on gumtree. |
Yes, they are definitely the same. They are about 50% more than I paid.
|
live pipes
Every one I know that has snake bite only do it once (lncluding myself) lol.
|
Re suppliers, there is also Liverpool Exhaust, off the M5 in Sydney.. they do great work, have their own ovens for coating etc on site... :)
|
