Opinions: Neptune Mufflers

I'm looking to get a decent can for an SV650, while trying to avoid
the exorbitant pricing of the name brands such as yoshimura, micron
etc.
Stumbled upon this mob from new zealand on the net
http://www.neptunemufflers.co.nz
Pricing seems quite reasonable. I was quoted approx. $470 for a can
for the sv.
Has anybody has dealings with them? Any opinions?


Cheers

Seeing how SV's (the carbed ones definitely do; the new injected ones might,
as well... what have you got?) come with, effectively, one-piece exhausts
(from memory, the link pipe, which is welded to the muffler, is some
dumbarse design where it incorporates the collector about halfway along, so
you can't really just get a can), have you considered just getting a full
system?

A while back, Performance Bikes in the UK hotted up an SV (big-bore to
700cc, big cams, porting...) and sang the praises of the M4 exhaust they
fitted, making a point of how cheap it was...

Well, the dollar's doing well at the moment. It might be worthwhile bringing
in something from further afield, too.

But, to actually answer your question, never heard of Neptune exhausts...
are they big with the minisub crowd, or something?

 

Get a staintune(NSW) or formula 1(QLD) if you're in Oz. I think there's a brand
in Vic as well. Oz made, reasonable prices, decent quality.

The F1 magnum i got for the bandit was reasonably priced (500 ish) and its
nicely put together

FWIW - Lucy just went through a period of eval, and we settled on the
Staintune for her SV650S. Oz made, good price, it looks legal until examined
closely and it sounds sweet. (She was tired of all of my sewing machine
jokes).

Mine is the EFI model. I have considered getting a full system, but as
previously stated, I'm trying to keep the cost down to a minimum; I
do not envisage keeping the SV for more than a year. Bloke up the road
has a '99 model (carbie version) and when he bought it it came with a
can that sounds awesome. However, as it has no markings at all, we
could not figure out who made it.

Regarding Neptune, I have no idea about them at all; hence I was
asking for opinions. Emailed the bloke a couple of times, seems
helpful and informative. Reckons they've sold a lot to Australian
customers.
Thanks for the info.

Was quoted $650 for the Staintune. I'm not too keen on themas I've
been told they tend to be on the heavier side and apparently they are
not repackable. They don't look too bad, though.
Formula 1 I have never heard of, will have to give them a call.

cheers

Get an adr compliant one if you're in NSW

Pay for what you get

 

Madaz are in Melbourne (Rowville). A Staintune pipe on an SV650 sounds great.

Errmmm, when someone told you something that you interpreted as "not
repackable", what they _meant_ was "their all stainless steel
construction means there _is_ no 'packing' and so then never _need_
repacking"...

Its a _good_ thing, not a bad thing...
