I have a few options for fixing it... first i could buy a cheetah racing upper fairing off ebay, 175 shipped, and have it painted. I've heard getting something painted like this is gonna be ridiculously expensive and not worth it probably. I could also replace it with the OEM part, I've found it for around 260 shipped online. so thats what I'm leaning towards right now, simplest solution by far. any suggestions???

The new pipe will probably done pretty soon, within a month if i can. I'm leaning towards yoshimura... basically my budget is 400 total, installed. I found someone willing to do the install (I'd rather not) but idk if he's trustworthy (friend of a friend). he says he'll charge labor for 1.5 hours.

whats the difference between TRS and RS3 exhaust? besides the shape, and about $15 in price... any opinions on the sound?

i didnt know I'm gonna be dropping this much cash on the bike this soon... but the pipe getting scratched up makes me really want a new exhaust.

does anyone think i can get any money from selling the cracked upper and scratched pipe?
