1 of many no doubt until i find my feet with LCs again..
im picking up a nice 250 today, bog stock inc pipes, so heres my excuse to spend money!!!! im thinking if i take of the good standard pipes to keep good for future use how about spannies, love the look of the higgspeeds but i also seen a decent(to me) priced set of Sebring spannies on the bay of dom... anybody any thoughts on sebrings?
i just want something nice to look at and listen to, cant be assed much spending my days jetting and rejetting just a bolt on set of pipes.
cheers

no such thing as stupid question in my book, just one of an enquiring mind
Don't rate Sebring ones TBH, higgs are pretty good, but I don't like the look of them TBH, lots of options out there, comes down to budget, what look you want, any performance characteristics you especially want etc.
There are a few good threads on heer that have discussed exhaust options to death, I am sure somebody will post up a few links etc for you in due course, or try the search function on the forum as that should help you as well

I would have said a pair of mutts but as it's a 250 I have no idea how 350 designed pipes would work on the 250
Personally I'd stick something like small can Gibson's as you don't want to lose what little midrange you have
I'll await for Dave to correct me 😁
We could actually do with a 250 designed pipe 😀

Steve, the mid range pipe works equally as well on the 250's, gives around a 25% uplift in power in mid range, similar curve as you'd expect as well, I'll have to post some charts up, not given much thought until you mentioned it really, might even revisit the pipe and design one specifically for the 250 to see if I can lift it a bit more.....
