Overlander located in Victoria Australia should be able to supply. about 12 months ago I took my dunstall 2-1-2 pipes to him for copying. He kept a template for himself. He does them in stainless. http://www.dropbears.com/o/overlander/

A local fella took his original set up to Tom Epperson (EPCO) to copy in stainless. Last I heard he was still trying to get them to tweek the bends so the mufflers would fit. That was a couple years ago. It might be worth getting in touch with them http://www.epcostainless.com

Anyone's copy of the original would have to be better than the Dr Blair design originals. The welds on Dunstall sets constantly fell apart on my set. Those pipes and some Dunstall rearsets are the reason I stay away from anything Dunstall made. Dr Blair design does work well, though.

I agree. Dunstall used to be a magical name to me until I owned a few pieces with it on them. Poorly designed and poor workmanship. Look nice though.

Hi

Never played with the exhaust systems but the man who made a lot of Dunstall kit whent boom & bust at least 3 times. Kits are made for Maitland racing now. I would imagine quality altered after Dunstall packed up & before the first classic boom. Used to buy lots of the blade front mudguards & Honda rearsets & clip ons for not a lot in the early 90s.(business failed, so no cash flow) Bit stunned by how much Norvil want for rearsets now!
