JK stainless tailpipes

[scamperbus]

Hello, I need to replace my tailpipe and I'm toying with buying one of the stainless ones from Just Kampers

http://www.justkampers.com/shop/type_2_bay/type-2-bay-original-vehicle-parts/exhaust/tail-pipes/tail-pipe-stainless-steel.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Does anybody have one of these on their bus? Is the quality OK? I'm always dubious about how well some after market parts actually fit.

Cheers!

Thanks.

Panalvan - I looked on the Kingfisher Kustoms but couldn't find the tailpipe so perhaps they don't do them any more.

Finally got my Bluebird stainless steel tail pipe fitted. Really please with the quality but I have a problem:

It has more of a bend in it that the standard (rusty) pipe I took off which was virtually straight. As my bus is lowered 2 splines at the back and my driveway has a bit of a slope on it before it joins the road, the pipe bottoms out and scrapes the ground :x

This happens every time I drive the bus out of the garage onto the road and already my pipe is looking a bit scuffed up at the tip. It's also bent the bracket on the box itself that tail pipe bolts to and I think it may have also damaged the short pipe that exits from the baffles inside the box where the tailpipe clamps on.

Anyway, long story short, my question is: the bend in the stainless pipe looks quite a gentle one so how easy would it be to straighten it out a bit?

All I have is a heat gun, a large bench vice and (some) muscle power.
