Default Scorpion exhaust fitting?

Hi,

I know nothing of the exhaust systems for bikes, though I am learning. I want a new can for my SV, and without buying a specified kit for an SV what do I need to buy.

If I bought something like this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...#ht_500wt_1202 what else would I need to get it on? And are there any reasons why it would cause any running problems?


Cheers in advance lads n lass's

That one is no good.It has a three bolt fix,and for the sv you need a slip on and link pipe.The sv exhaust is all in one piece from the collecter box back,so it has to be cut just by the rear swingarm and a link pipe and can added.Its no big deal,but you need the right bits.

That's not the easiestway to change your can.

You need a slip on can with a 52mm link pipe

Some thing like this

Cut your exhaust just below the original can and re attach using the link pipe supplied.

Cheers for the answers guys.

So essentially I can use any can as long as its a slip on?

All I need then is a hanger (if it doesnt come with one) and a link pipe.

Are the link pipes model specific or can they be used universally?

Annnnnnnnd does the inlet diameter of the can matter?


Thanks again folks

Usually come with some sort of hanger or strap

Usually model specific

Most end can pipes are 52mm and the link pipes are matched to the inlet pipe of the can.
