Micron Exhaust inlet diameter?

[saka_ZXR]

Hey guys im looking at replacing my micron slipon for another exhaust but as i had trouble getting the can off today to measure it (the bolt has become stuck so waiting for the good old WD40 to free it off

Ive heard 62mm, 65mm and 67mm, are there a few with different diameters?

[zimm]

micron's micron .. all one and the same.. just depends exactly what you're measuring .. ID, OD etc etc ..

if i find the time i'll measure up my spare system for ya.

I'm after the inlet diameter mate

[zimm]

just measured my spare system with the verniers,

inside diameter of the can inlet measures as 64mm
outside diameter of the link pipe measures as 63.5mm

Mine shud be the same then

Mite have to see if i can get it off to double check tomorrow

Mite have to see if i can get it off to double check tomorrow

now where's the point in me freezing my tits off in the garage to measure it if you go and do that ?


<mutter grumble>

Lmao well if u can guarantee me mine will be 64mm then i will have no need to

However i dnt want to make a mistake and be stuck with a piece that wont fit on

If i dont need to go measure it i'd love not too as my garage is freezing also and the neighbours will complain if i start the generator at this time of night, plus i'd have finished the job b4 the heater heated the garage.

lol, was only joking .. do whatever ..

ive had 4 micron systems over the years (one of which i even bought new) and they are all the same.. measurements may be off by 1mm or so because they arent made that accurately.. i think this is why everything from 62 - 67 gets quoted depending on whether people are measuring the link pipe or the can ..

Ahhhh sorted mate

I like my micron dont get me wrong but its not as loud and beefy as i'd like

[jake]

get that link pipe baffle cut out then id say

[saka_ZXR]

Or have a nice guy called toby fabricate me an adaptor so i can have a bolt on can

Need to think outside the box (or shud i say saw)

That way the end can is preserved for M.O.T time when i need a road legal exhaust

:p

[jake]

there is a baffle in the link pipe to mate... i think you have to cut them out and get it welded back up.. mine was already done so am not sure, i think zimm did his before he got a beet??

[saka_ZXR]

So hang on, if i understand u correctly i have to but the link pipe open, remove the baffle and then weld the link pipe back up?

[jake]

well, you dont have too
in fact you will need to alter the fueling if you do this, so it may not be what your after. But this is what you need to do to get some power out of the system. Im not sure how you get it out, i presume it needs to be cut out.
