Default Mmmmmmm..... WRP

Hello all, just fitted my WRP titanium system, it's luuuuurvely! Sounds extremely nice, like northwind said, great quality sound and not offensively loud Very easy to fit, I thought the SV pipes would be a right ball ache to take off and re fit, but they came off no problem. Only problem with the new sytem was that it's slightly smaller than the cavity in the front cylinder, meaning exhaust paste had to be used, and lots of it, but now it's sorted. Lemme know what you think Sorry it's not very clean, I had to take it out for a blast!







Cheers, a very happy Matt

well spotted.

hard to put into words, but the holes for the bracket need to be on the same side as the mount, not astride. if that makes sense?

you need to change it or it will gradually vibrate and create a weak spot at the joint from old pipe to new can

Pity it's not a high level

On a more serious note, I'd keep an eye on the rivets at the front- the hanger's pretty far forwards so there's loads of potential for flap. If it's like mine the pipework and end cap are excellent fits, which will definately help. Not a problem, just worth monitoring.If it loses a couple of rivets and you don't notice it could damage itself.

Oh aye, mine's in bits again- there was something rattling inside it, it was annoying me- so if you want pics of what I did to shorten it, that can be arranged...
