Post by robertcains »

Need a standard silencer for my 89 Exup, have found a new 91 onwards but not sure of the differences?
Anyone please?

I have two almost new exup silencers. One has a sort of stainless (chrome) finish and the other has a gold finish. i always thought that the stainless one was from the R model and the gold one from the RU :retard: Anyone Know?

The gold looking one was the first modification from the original on the 1990 R model.

It's described in the blurb as, 'Baked Stainless and White Chrome'

Now that's interesting, the part number for the 'muffler' on the 89 model actually references to the pre exup exhaust so I'm guessing is different?
