down pipe for a model 8 ajs

Armours of Bournemouth or Feked.com (same stuff - the latter has a decent website where you can order on-line):

£45 plus post etc.

There was one on eBay too - claimed to be stainless steel (but may not be!)

I'm lucky in that I have the original down-pipe on my G5 - these had a semi-closed end with slots in the end, and the pipe protrudes a fair way into the silencer. The pattern replacements will just be an open pipe but any modern pattern silencer will most likely have some basic baffling inside - but overall it may sound a bit LOUD!

Cheers,
