Yep, no idea what Suzuki was thinking with the stock exhaust on that model. the 07 stock can is about a 1/3 the length, black and nowhere near as ugly.

Suzuki was just adhearing to restrictions like every other manufacturer in Japan. Rules change.

No stock pipe will ever be as disgusting as this:

Congrats ham! Found one u want yet?

about to start looking!

where is the best place to look,

so far i'm just on carsales and evolutionoz

to be honest, i'm a little sick of them lol.

says the guy with a yellow R34 gtt :P

Hamish, did you leave the dick drawn in the dust on your heatshield? Lol

the dick stays... it's been there for like 2 years man.... washed it but you can still see it

Everything's expensive on Evo oz, "selling my pride and joy" lol. The fact that they think a modded 7 is worth more than an 8 blows my mind

Carsales is good, Sydney is better.. I was gonna go up for a week and just look at a few and buy one until this popped up.

Becoming? Mate it was like that 8 years ago when I use to go out

Haha well I dunno, I think it's shithouse now. Used to love going out when I was 18-21. Almost 23 and haven't really been out in the past 18 moths lots (misses) but yeah, went out on the weekend and I was like wot.... :|

Got me thinking though, maybe shit wasn't better when I used to head out, possibly was just a lot younger and thought it was mad cool. Lol probably exactly the same, just matured lol.

I'm sure every manufacturer adhered to the same rules and none came out with anything as hideous as that.

That Ducati pipe has nothing on the 08 gixxer

I got mine on Gumtree, 7 grand due to the previous owner not checking the oil and lunching the engine.

I just placed an order for a full Brian Crower 2.3 stroker kit with all parts to rebuild the engine and it only came to $3700. Including the machining I should be able to keep it under $13,000 total cost by my estimates.

    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
