Pipe-Werx Exhausts bring us the very best of British

A batch of end spouts, welded, polished and ready to rock
It's the middle of summer, August in fact, and the weather is supposed to be glorious which has led me to contact Pipe-Werx of Lathom to have a look around their facility and see how they come up with such lovely exhausts. On the day I booked the weather forecast says 'heavy rain' – groovy, Just what I need on my new ZX10R. Driven on by the prospect of getting some wide outlet Carbon yumminess I get out on the road which is oddly dry considering we are in the aforementioned 'heavy rain' period previously forecast, I can't help but wonder if wearing full textiles with the waterproof lining is a mistake but knowing the UK that rain is just around the corner.
