curvy exhaust system on a pointy?
 

Hey all,

Just wondered how much modification is needed to get a curvy full M4 system onto a pointy? Looking for a track bike so it wouldn't necc. have to pretty...

Cheers,
Dave

The front downpipes on the OEM systems were a slightly different angle to clear the oil cooler (which the curvys don't have). No idea if this translates out to the M4 systems though.

Paging YC!

I think it will be a squeeze unless you reposition and extend it the cooler lines.
Its easier to see/ explain when its on a bike

yeah, just hunting through some internet piccies, see if I can find the right ones... Looks like the only way I'll know for sure is by offering it up, in which case I'll have to buy it first!

Am i right in thinking the exhuast ports, etc. are all in the same place in relation to the frame and swing arm? Thinking all I would have to do is add a bit more of a bend?
Or should I just wait for a pointy full system to come up?

The M4 on the curvy seems to go round the oil filter on the other side... maybe I could get a curvy micron to fit...

Re: curvy exhaust sys on a pointy?
 

As has been said before: Anything will fit anything if you really want to - how determined and capable are you?

Looking at the bottom pic of the M4 on the blue bike, I don't think it will clear the oil cooler.
But unless and until someone actually tries it, we won't really know if the pipe and/or cooler might easily be altered/moved to make it happen.

determined yes, capable... hmmm. No welding talent though.

Have my eye on a pointy system so will see how expensive it gets...
