The postman delivered my new Zard today and i'm a little excited (bit like a child really)
I've been trying to muster up some excitement from the wife and kids but they're having none of it
Thanks to popsky and f90x for the heads up

A tip, lube the rubbers with a little vaseline to aid fitting
And welcome to the Zard club, only the most discerning 12s pilots choose this option

You're right there Phil. I did struggle with that momentarily earlier.

I know, tell me about it!
For a brief moment I thought they didn't care!
I got the feeling they might have thought my money better used elsewhere. Like put towards a holiday or something equally pointless.

BW,
The nice thing is you are buying something with a sell on value. That exhaust will always be worth £250 second hand, all day long. So you have only spent half of what you think you have - honestly !
