Great stuff, thank you for your replies.

I can safely show him the replies to convince him not to go down that path.

Ok -

I advised him not to but,
He sent the Jimmy pipe to a dealer who modified a 48mm clubman, sort of like a VW kind of look, but with the Jimmy tailpipe fitted....

Man, it sounded way too loud....... but the scooter had loads of poke....

In the end I've taken it off and fitted a Gianelli snail which is miles better :)

Thanks for your input chaps :)

Is the gianelli snail still available from anywhere?

Hi,

I'm not sure to be honest, though I was impressed by how well it fitted compared JL snail that came off before the Jimmy contraption...

I'll ask the chap who brought it - he may have got it off e-bay. I'll keep you posted :)

I spoke to the chap with the Gianelli snail, he's now selling it for £65 07794471930

He also said he's got the JL snail for sale which is has done less than 1000 miles, not sure how much he wants for it though.

I'm in a discussion regarding a Casa "Jimmy" style exhaust.
I am building a 230cc engine for a friend who has decided he wants to try one of these exhaust's but converted to a 48mm downpipe.

Has anyone done this or know of anyone who has done it as we'd be interested to know the outcome...

Cheers.
in the uk at the moment the mention of the word 'jimmy' is a no no!
