Ended up getting wiring adaptors from Repco. Only issue is the trim needs to be cut to accomodate the slightly wider front of the Pioneer deck.
What is the best way to cut the trim?

Replacement exhaust Liberty

Hi all,
In WA Perth, where is the best place to source a replacment exhaust system.
Couple places already seen say they have to make up the system as things like mufflers are not a listed after market item. I do find this a bit odd.

This seems exactly what I have just dealt with.
Was a small leak on exhaust side in head,passed had all tests looking for blown head gasket. No systems of blown head gasket, no over heating. was showing bubbles in overflow tank.
Had both heads overhauled, problem solved.
