How loud will it be???

[Drew Carey]

Can't wait.....only three days till I get to tinker.....Is it difficult doing? I presume I am right in saying it is simply a case of cutting the link pipe (about 30mm from the main pipe I have been told) using a hacksaw?Then a case of slotting the new one in and connecting it up....is there anything else I need to be wary of? Also, should I use any form of loctite etc and if so where?

Plenty of threads Drew but it is 50mm from weld that you need to be cutting. Someone put a piccy of for this guy

I've seen pics and other posts, but just very nervous. Not a total numpty but like most am just petrified of mucking it up. lol

The pipe is double skinned so there is a fair bit of cutting. I haven't used any sealer on my exhausts. The gases should just take the route of least resistance. Which is the can.

PS: cover the swingarm with lots of tape to prevent marking it.

or better yet, seek out a double walled cardboard box and tape that round the swingarm, sticky tape vs hacksaw/angle grinder/dremel isn't one i'd like to see the outcome of

Measure two or three times, then cut once.

Use a new hacksaw blade

Renegade recommended clear silicon sealer for the joints, as it does not set hard. Smokes and smells for about 10 minutes after starting up.

all i say is akra pipes with no can on.... gsxr 750.... i dont even takeit above 3 ooo revs way too loud

Firstly, I'm resurrecting this because its more applicable than starting a new thread.

So as some of you might, or might not know. I too have a Scorpion Street Extreme. Its loud, we've covered that already. Now, my question is this:

I've not removed the baffle. But there doesn't seem to be one there.....look:






So: Where's my baffle??!! Did I get one without?

That little hole at the bottom is just that, a threaded hole, with nothing in it....

Yup, thats correct, it appears as if you have no baffle. Where did you buy it from?
