Have you spoken witht them about a raask style 1 peice unit?
Despite all my questions Im interested. I may, due to impatiece, go ahead and get one individually and just use the stock flange.
I understand completely, I had intended to get one myself to check for fit-abililty on the LS650 engine/frame. Their pipes are virtually identical to the Stock LS650 header in all measurements and the stock flance should slide right on.
He is sold out of the standard shape but apparently has the "sweptback" version.
The "fit" of both versions should work for the LS650.
We could save a little by ordering together; small discount for larger order and also save some on shipping. I'm hoping that all total we could save 15-20% to get them to our doors.
The one piece exhaust system is another question all together. That would require a special production run with minimum quantity order required of about 50 units. At least that is what I am hearing at this point. If it is possible to use their stock components already on hand and just to weld them up together with the proper muffler bolt tab for out bracket, and then polish as normal, then perhaps it would not cost as much or need to be that large of an order.
I just don't know yet; more discussion needed after we can actually fit the header.
What I am after is an exhaust system as good as or better than the Raask but at half the price, delivered, here in the US.
