looking at their website they split the downpipe into 2 lengths (probably to givethemselves more "wiggle room" for fitting)

Bought my BW 4-1 last year.
Delivery was bob on, packaging was bob on, pipe fitted like a dream and the sound is bob on.
Totally happy with Black Widow.

1 year follow up on this exhaust, and my experience with Black Widow.
After less than a year of strictly fair weather riding (about 3 months of actual riding, as I don't ride in the fall and winter) the downpipe/header has seriously rusted.
Not just some surface rust, which would be normal and acceptable, but deep scaly rust, on the supposedly 304 stainless.
When I contacted Black Widow they told me they won't warrant it, they don't cover 'discolouration', they only use the highest quality materials, told me to 'look up 304 stainless on Wikipedia' because I didn't understand its properties, and stopped responding to me.
I've had numerous 304 stainless full exhaust systems on various cars over the years, which were driven year round, and never showed this level of corrosion at any point. I have had cheap non-stainless exhausts rust less than this in the same time frame, I have plenty of knowledge and experience with exhausts and 304 stainless.
Conclusion, DON'T BUY BLACK WIDOW PRODUCTS, their quality is overall low and unimpressive, their customer service I useless and insulting, and their warranty is meaningless. |

Oh, right, they used to be SandyBikeSpares. The ones that did downpipes that melted through the bellypans on GPZ500S and they never admitted the problem, let alone sorted it.
