Yep, I've done it again.
I was always going to do it again, it just makes a Monster look amazing IMHO.
So step one is done, just need to fab some different indicator mounts as the ones in the kit hit on the cowl.
But basically she is ready now without tail.

Next is maybe a little pipe shortening just to bring things back into line.

then comes the next mod which I can't do but I will take part in by striping bits off it in prep.

Didn't you guys learn to use protection Huh?



On topic: I think this exhaust looks much more Monstery without the carbon end cap. Is it disposable? As always your photography is impressive[thumbsup]

Can't get rid of the end cap, you see there is a titanium sleeve inside.
Without the end cap it would look a little stuby and have no finish.
I will end up taking a couple of inches out of the other end just to even things up.

It's just a sticker, someone we know has a vinyl cutter... Easy for a one off, not so easy for a production run (slow and painful!)
