Seen these on ebay and like said ( thanks Kwackerz ) they're not really underseat more high sided from Renegade : - 330563092077 . Have asked the guy some questions and from what he says and from what i can remember i think they'll fit OK with our undertray but the only thing that i'm worried about is whether they'd fit past the front foot peg ? Everything else i reckon would go but have had both pics up close on laptop and it looks like the rsvr footpeg maybe shorter then the Falco one ........all that and the bloody price is still going up and up ......would look good though but would also have to sort out my number plater and indicators ......

Aladin if you could do that with the photos it really would be a massive help mate and thanks alot , you couldn't also put one up of the " CUT :smt010 " needed for the belly pan could ya .......that's the one i'm worried about the most ,especially with such a freshly painted one ... :smt009

And last but by no means least lads i want to say a big thank you to everyone who's written in with advice on this , as always if i ever need to know anything about these money pits you guys are there to help me spend spend spend .....where would i be with out you....apart from very rich .. :smt005

BUT

On saying that it's not over yet lads so expect more silly questions and who knows maybe a free weeks holiday in cornwall for someone to come and fit all this shit ..........god help me !!! :smt017

Thats one of the later Renegade systems. Looks like he's coloured the aluminium footpeg spacers black for some reason, bloody heathen.. :smt012

Nice set of Hilevel Renes though. Good nick and everything there that should be. I'd enquire whether the chip will come with it or failing that WHICH chip it ran originally. (As in a +10, a +4.. which one it was)

Might just be my eyesight, but first glance they looked like Titanium Renes, not Stainless. Might be the light and the fact the can sleeves are dirty.. the underseat shot is the one making me think Ti....

/nod tim

and before you go for those - remember that there is no way on this planet that you can get a hugger to work with them - actually - it does fit... but melts....

(Shocktube anyone?)

I think that they would need a +10 chip... mine runs rather well with one!

oh - ignore the mounting - you cannot do that on the falco - but it is actually very easy....

so - when is my holiday in cornwall??

Not to worry with the cans now as they're going to be too much for me , shame as i reckon they would have looked good and along the style i was looking for.

Have got a long trip away coming up soon ( Singapore for 6 - 8 weeks ...yahooooooo !! working mind you .. ) so may have to leave the cans for now and just go with a standerd after market one but trust me when i say i'm not finished yet with this underseat ......ish arrangement.

Aladin trust me mate if this starts going to rate shit you WILL be getting a call , even got somewhere for you to stay .. !!

:smt005 ...Nice one DR i was wondering when you'd come back to me with that , when i get this MOD done i will be nicking my mates shotguns of his RSVR to see what they look like when fitted although his are a chrome set ........i certainly hadn't forgotten you have some tucked away in your Falco storage bin !! :smt003

£400 notes for the Rene cans was way more then i thought they would have gone for how much are they new ? , i was way way out for price .... :smt013

They hold their price secondhand as you cant get them new. Renegade ceased trading a few years back with Jorge moving back to Portugal. British government and taxes took their toll heavily on small businesses!
Sadly now you have to pay dearly for the exclusivety of owning a decent set of Renegades!! Im sure Alad will agree theyre better than many currently on the market, even secondhand!

I would say that they are the best performance pipe out there

akrapovich etc are good, but - the renegades have always been the mutts dangly bits

correctly set up, with a decent chip and airkit, you will not stop grinning
And i would say that a falco set up like that will piss all over a standard mille....and yes Tim - I bet you are still grinning over that text last night!

Mille exhaust is bigger diameter than Falco
