Title: A slip-on for wees at last (maybe)
Post by: raggydan on March 25, 2010, 15:19:00

Out of curiosity I rang up Pipewerx, you may have seen their ads on Ebay, and asked about
the availability of a slip-on can for 07> Wees. Alas they don't do 1 at present but they plan to have
something available by the summer :clap:
The bloke told me that I wasn't the first wee strom rider to have asked for 1 so with
this in mind they will definately be producing a can. :thumb:

Nice one....
can't see how they'll produce a slip on though with the shape of the link pipe with the 02 sensor in it. Then there's the fact that the link pipe is welded to the collector box.

I'm assuming there will be some cutting involved, who knows, just glad there is
someone looking into it.

Yep, I'll definitely be interested to see what they come up with.

I have no idea what these are for. I'm sure I'm not the only one. Can someone explain?

It looks nice.. :neen:

No,seriously, it's probably alot lighter, sounds better and,yes, it does look better than
the stock exhaust.You might even get a couple of extra HP as well. :thumb:
