Aftermarket slip on (Leo Vince) pics
« on: October 16, 2013, 01:04:02 pm »
After shopping around for an aftermarket slip on, I finally decided the Leo Vince is the affordable option. Got it delivered via courier and fitted within 1 hour. The pics speak for themselves...

First the old look...

Hi there Dave. How much did the pipe cost, how much does it weigh, and will it be possible to post a sound clip?

It was just under 8k, but I apparently bought the last one that the importer had in stock. Soundclip I can do, someone will have to give pointers. Maybe Youtube will be easier.

Dankie Manic, ek dink ook so. Daar was 'n stainless pyp ook maar die carbon fibre pas beter.

looks lekker and probably sounds the buzness!  :thumleft:

but I heard Leo Vince has recently gone bankrupt, not that it should be any concern to existing owners..

This is correct, Leo Vince went into Liquidation on the 23 September 2013. I hope someone can bail them out. I'm waiting for my LV slip-ons to arrive from Cape Town so they can be fitted to my FJR1300.

Sad day indeed.

I tried ordering this today, but supplier only gets stock again next month...😢😢😢

They do have the akrapovic headers (SS) in stock, roughly R5000, will look great when ceramic coated black, no cat and makes the black akrapovic a bit louder...

What is the difference in the slip on and the headers? Is it the same or different? I am also looking for a slip on but not willing to pay R12k for a slip on! Not sure why BMW don't give us an option to give us aftermarket exhausts standard. They are paying for one anyway and this is cheaper and lighter!
