exbox weight
Hi all,
I took off my exhausts last week for a bit of a clean, and came to the conclusion that it actually looks quite good without them! Since then I've come across a nice looking exbox being sold for a fairly good price...only trouble is it's in America Wondered if anyone might know roughly how much they weigh so I can work out what the postage might cost? Had a good search but I can't seem to find anything |

Best option would be to email producer.
They're very helpful. I needed some info about the system too some time ago and had quick reply from them. |

Sorry I know it's noticeably lighter if compared to the standard system when on the bike, but no idea about the actual weight.

When I enquired with QD last winter when looking to buy, I was contacted by Dynomax UK - their uk supplier apparently. You could get in touch with them as I'm sure they have all the technical info - obviously you dont have to let on that you aren't planning to buy new from them.
The website seems to be down, but I have the number from before 01526 399370. |

I bought one a few years ago, through Dynomax.
It took three months to arrive, although they did say it would take that long when i ordered it, due to the factory in Italy only doing them in batches, i just missed the last one that Dynomax had, so i had to wait for the next lot, although it did arrive when they said it would. G ; ) |

Mine was only a couple of weeks, but unfortunately a few days later than I'd hoped and I was in India when they attempted to deliver it several times. Seems there was some miscommunication with instructions I had left while I was away and they sent it back to Italy in the end!! Worked out eventually though.
Yeh, I'd give Dynomax a call, they were helpful enough with me. |

Don't forget import tax too.
Another option is to get someone to make you an exhaust to your preferred design |

Yep, I'm definitely not going for a new one
Was wondering about getting one a while ago but I gave up on it with the price and knowing it'd look out of place on my bike unless I also had it coated black... Would imagine international shipping will quickly make this one non-cheap as well but at least it's the right colour! I can't really get it without having a reasonable offer on the termis anyway, have to see what happens... Am I right in thinking it's possible to remove the baffle in these? From what I've seen they're not exactly quiet anyway, just being a curious Adam |

Hi panther,
I'd wondered about that, quite like the look of the boom tubes copies I've seen too... Trouble is I have to commute on the bike so I needed to balance having the underbelly exhaust with not annoying too many neighbours, this seemed like the best compromise really I thought that import tax only applied on new items, could be completely wrong about that though? That may be something to think about... |

You could get the seller to put a lower value on the item when shipping as tax is .....30ish % ???
Even if you get a silver one you can always get out the black BBQ paint. Don't forget to check Italian ebay too.......... |

Customs won't get fooled by this - people try it on all the time
Expect to get hit with 20% vat + a handling fee if shipped from outside the EU
