Help: Pulsar 220 DTS - Fi Exhaust Woes
Hello Everyone,
First off, it's good to be here. Back in 2007, when I was about to purchase the P220 DTS - Fi, it's then that I sought advice from the members here. I haven't had a chance to re-visit the forum much after that, but it's really good to see that xbhp has become much, much bigger.
I've managed to maintain my P220 well over the course of the last 6 years, except the last year when I had to leave it in Mumbai, and could only retrieve it once the rains had stopped.
During transit to Bangalore, the exhaust had broken off at the point where the tail pipe connects to the cylinder (through a strip with rivets). The pro-biking service stations didn't have a new one in stock (and did not know when they would have any stock) , so I had to purchase one in the local market. It's only been a couple of days since the exhaust has been replaced, and the darned thing has already started to give up on me.

Anyways, I'm going to yell at the guy who sold me this and try to get my money back, however, as I see it, here are my options:
1. Replace with another silencer from the local market, and pray to the gods !
2. Leave my bike in the service station, and wait for a month or two before Bajaj finally manufactures one on order.
3. Procure an after - market exhaust (something quiet though)
Is there another way to procure the original exhaust, either from Pune or Bangalore ? A shop that may stock the original silencer, perhaps ?
Also, I realize that this may be a somewhat unintelligent question, but why I can't I just fit the exhaust for the newer Pulsar 220 DTS i on to the DTS-Fi ? They do look strikingly similar.
Suggestions ? Recommendations ? General Advice ?
Much Appreciated
Thanks in advance
