M4 exhaust specs?

Ahh jaysus Graham, where were you before saturday I have an end can now already.... would you part with the pipe work alone ?

Are you sure it's the M4 system is for a curvey ?

You could always have a custom link pipe made up for you to fit to your standard headers. Which would perhaps be simpler? You can make any can fit a set of headers with the right link pipe.
My Art can was differing diameter and I had one made up.
The M4 cans on the Raptor were from a TLR but had the links done for the cans from the whoever owned them previously. M4 never made cans for the Raptor.

Yea i was thinking about that also, but tbh, if i was going to fit an M4 system, it was always going to be the full system ...

Funnily enough when I bought my M4 can the link pipe was totally wrong. It had obviously come off a full system (although the guy wouldnt admit it).

So I boguht another link pipe on the off chance it would fit but no luck.

The M4 link was the right inlet and outlet size but the wrong shape. The other link was the right shape but the wrong inlet/outlet side.

Took them both to Bensons Components exhaust manufacturers and said "I want something that size and that shape, *******ise what you need to". Literally ten minutes and ten quid later I have a stainless link pipe made out of the original M4 one which fit perfect.

Busy moving house, hence no internet...

Ah, mine is for a pointy, the one-off K3. However:
-I think that while the curvey system fouls the oil cooler on a pointy, swapping the other way is ok. Haven't verified this however.

-The K3 vs later difference is only in the bracket holding the end can.

Not so great to sell just the pipes, since that leaves me with a can and no mid-pipe that would allow it to fit as a slip-on.

Anyway, might all be moot if it doesn't fit

Feck .... how are we gonna figure this out now ...

Here's the reply I got on the TWF forum:

"It will fit. They might have to make a bracket if it has frame mount below swingarm pivot though. I have 2nd gen Leo on my 1st gen."

M4 full end can is, AFAIK, bigger than normal slip on can.


(My obnoxiously loud and harsh face melting fuel end can does not fit on my M4 pipework)
