Thanks LG. Just PM'd Mikefith as he's getting rid of his OEM stuff. A bit of TLC with the Hammerite and they'll be good to go.

Is it just the steel part, not the rubber insert or any of the other bits that's needed?

Well, there is almost certainly a PSS9 installation thread somewhere, so it may help

What's the best price you have managed to find for a set of Billies?

I was weighing these up before I bought mine and managed to find 2 traders in the US that would do them for just over £1k and both were willing to help out with customs / import duty as they have done when I have previously imported goodies from them.

£1500 is about the best I've seen so far, so any tips for US sellers would be very welcome.......

This place will do them for $1,553 / £1,070 including shipping + import duty which they are willing to help out with

http://www.ebay.com/itm/BRAND-NEW-GE...-/300805844212

& a trader on here Moddiction are willing to price match the ebay dealer and also help out with import duty

http://www.moddiction.com/

I've always dealt with a guy called Ryan at Moddiction who has always been extremely helpful

I ended up only paying £50 import duty on a $1,000 exhaust if that gives you a better idea as to how much they can assist

Be careful with doing that, as you may not be fully insured if anything gets damaged or lost.

I know but I guess it's the gamble you take and most of these traders send their stuff via UPS or FedEx express and I only know of Tom Hanks who's had issues with FedEx
