If British scooterists were prepared to pay a fair price for an excellent product, then these exhausts would still being made to this day. Sadly, too many of our fraternity persist in buying cheap shiny bling with little or no thought as to how it compliments their set up.

There. I feel better now :P
so taffspeed stopped making exhausts because of cheap copies??????????????? ian stopped making these pipes a number of years ago. you cant blame it on people buying cheaper products from abroad. Ive tried to get a genuine taff, but people are charging so much for these, and just being greedy and holding genuine scooterists to ransom.

Taffy costed £495 new and I think around £300 is fair 2nd hand. They are very good quality and as far as I know they have not been tested side by side with the copies, yet.

But it's chrome and doesn't fit ... AND you've saved maybe as much as 50£ :?
