Why not go for it? Rivets also needed of course. My exhaust (Remus) has a damaged rivet band at the front which I would love to replace, but don't want to pay their price of £50 for a kit. I need to look at your parts list.

Do it It would be an interesting little project!

Do it and post pictures.

However I suggest not using Carbon Fibre with an SV if you want longevity.

yes I have found that out the hard way!!! the existing carbon can (currently fitted as in my avatar) has rattled the carbon so much it now has a gas leak hence the desire to build my own can

but i wrote this down to not having a steel band around it for the rivots to hold it in place... am i wrong?

also if I do make it myself of course I am not registered as a zorst manufacturer who confirms to BSAU regs so would it be legal?

I have heard/read somewhere that the law has changed and that it would be road legal & pass mot as long as they are stamped not for road use and not too obtrusively loud.

if I am not to use carbon.... i need to find a new supplier for the tri oval tube

rivets i have a whole bunch kicking about, and a rivet gun standard bit of kit these days.

I'm equally interested to know how one would go about making/refurbing the existing exhaust with new parts. My carbon has split at the point where the hanger oval meets the can. I know there is a leak which I've temporarily patched. I don't know whether this affects my fuelling(?) or engine performance (?) It certainly sounds different so considered eventually buying new, but would prefer to learn how to repack and repair etc.

first off which is the hard part, is sourcing a replacement tube... then it's easy, just drill out the rivets, remove the carbon tube, then replace with new, and drill holes where the new rivets go, rivet it all back together - job done. about an hours work.

will it affect performance/fuelling... marginally but yes! any changes to the zorst system will.... hence why remapping / dyno is recommended post changing any zorst

they sell the tri oval one you intend to make for £150.

I know but where is the fun of just buying one!!!

I might end up just resleeving my existing yoshi... and fitting a new inlet cap
