High level to low level exhaust?
 

I'm thinking of buying this 1999 curvy:

But if the seller doesn't have the original exhaust, is there any way of moving the exhaust back to it's original position with a footpeg hanger so I can take pillion?

Cheers!

cant see the pic, but i would imagine if its a high level pipe, you would need a different link pipe

I've editted the first post now so hopefully you can see the photo.

Yeah, can you buy a specific link pipe for the SV though? Surely if the pitch of the link pipe wasn't perfect, or it was mounted to far fowards or back on the header than the pipe wouldn't fit the hanger?

If not, I suppose buying an original exhaust system is the only way to go right?

in fairness, looking at it, i dont see why you couldnt just move the mounting point from where its attatched where the footpegs should go, to further up almost underneath the pillion seat,

sell your hi level link pipe(about 25-30 quid), buy a normal level link pipe(30 quid) , fit pillion feet pegs -job done

Aparently you can just buy spacers for the hangers with the pillion footrests so they sit on the outside of the exhaust. I'll probably just do that and get some heat protection over the exhaust (which along with the hanger can double up as crash protection) :)

Not done it myself, but there are quite a few people on here with high level cans and rear pegs, most pop a small spacer on to make it work. Easy enough, cant imagine its the hardest job in the world!
