Exhaust/muffler system was blasted and painted with high temp paint and installed by the shop today.


Nice Thing! That's a sweet exhaust system. Can I ask where you got it?

Thanks! I see Jbugs sells a similar setup for a lot less than ThingParts.com that would likely benefit from a coating of heat resistant paint. Much nicer than some of those other exhaust options.

i paid 399.00 plus tax and shipping so it came to 437.99 but that was in march 2020 right before covid hit. it is a dansk version. i am sure costs went up everywhere on it though the jbugs one is probably similar.
