I do not think that there are any UK distributors for Kerker exhausts. If you import from USA you have to expect to pay Import duty of 20% of Cost of item + postage, plus a handling charge of around £8.00 to post office for collecting said Import duty from you.

Some sellers in USA will mark down the value of the item bought, which reduces import duty.

I would contact Jeff Saunders @ Z1 enterprises. I think they list Kerkers on their webbsite.

A nod is as good as a wink, to a blind bat.

My Kerker from the USA $579 + $104 shipping ended up costing me an extra £108 import duty + the obligatory £8 handling charge.

So all in I ended up paying around £550 and the paint is shite :??
Also a year down the line - the Kerker badge on the silencer is discoloured.

Def. not worth the money IMO

Hi, if your badge is discoloured contact Kerker and they will send a new one out. I was painting mine and the badge got paint stripper on it, so spoke to Kerker and they sent me one free of charge.

Rodders,
Pic of the pipe before it was fitted and one of it fitted.

I intend to get it coated later this year, most likely ceramic coated.

I have no other issue with it.
I fitted the race baffle,it sounds great.
The system fitted like a glove- although they don't come with header clamps.
