looking at either a pm fat mamber or franspeed tourer exhaust ......looking for decent ground clearnce on an ts1 engine being built for the trip to italy .....any advice on either would be helpful ..cheers

Both very good all round pipes, Both pipes pull from very low down in 4th and rev thru.

I found the Mamber could rev a fair bit higher than the Tourer but sat on the motorway at a constant 75 it would start ripping itself apart, mainly at the stinger to can section, also had problems with the exhaust stub blowing, forever coming loose (double nut/extended wired nuts). Its a FAT pipe and clearance on right hand corners can catch you out a bit, no probs with speed humps tho.

The Tourer wont rev as high but sits well at 70, I have managed some good mileage without problems but over time it has eventually fractured in the usual places.

Given the choice between these two.....Supertourer.

As i thought....pm will fall apart ..i've been running a pm 28 for the last few years its now splitting on the mounting bracket and also came loose numerous times on the m/fold....dont fancy messing around with a hanging off exhaust halfway across the alps lol ...looks like its a franspeed super tourer then
