I'm looking for a 4 into 2 original (as possible) exhaust system. Can memebrs please point me in the direction of where I could get one please? I don't care which country on Earth you point me at. Thank you.

Originals are unobtainable, there some fairly good repop tail pipes but I dont know of anyone doing repop header pipes.

Busso silencers do some repro 4-2 systems, but they are not cheap. I think they are Dutch

Busso is looking good. Any tips to get this into the country without paying a huge tax bill

If they are coming from within the EU there should be no tax on them, just shipping. Until 31st December that is up to now.

I think DavidZ1R is referring to Import Duty which is not charged on goods produced and circulating within the EU (this is to avoid having to pay tax twice). You still have to pay VAT, which will be charged at the rate of the country in which the goods are 'consumed' (ie used). In this case you will have to pay VAT at the UK rate of 20% if you live in the UK. Check whether the Busso price is inclusive or exclusive of VAT before you decide whether it's good value.

As you may know I organised a 'group buy' with Busso for their 4/2 for the z1000.
Based on that exercise which took a year to complete, we found that Busso are plagued with quality issues and ineffective packing, meaning you have a 50/50 chance of being disappointed with your purchase and then dealing with the returns process and hoping for a better result with the replacement.
You have to pay them up front via bank transfer, they do not accept any other methods.
As they are in the UK there are no import fees or taxes to pay.
