l model downpipes
hi guys am new here, am currently tryin to get my nw bike into its original condition, its zxr 400 l model (l reg, dont know the model number tho!) its green white and purple
a know the past 3 owners, and 2 of them have looked after the bike well, but the most recent one, has had it standing in his garage fro over a year
what ive noticed is the the downpipes and can have beeb cut short to reduce the leanght of the exhaust, and the can even tho (as far as i am aware) is original has been converted to a slip on ???
i think am gnna need a new exhaust to get it through its mot, but was wonderin am a gonna need new downpipes and a new can, or just a new can
a know the origianl can, has 3 bolts to bolt onto the downpipes, but mine has neither
any help on this guys and am a right in what i say ???

yes mate the original can has 3 bolts, sounds like the flange has been cut off if they are the original headers, best bet would be to get a slip on can off another bike for the mot, check on ebay.

In the long run it might be cheaper just to get stainless steel pipes as they dont rust and, last a damn sight longer when you might just end up paying for a set when your standard ones rot through.dynamatiz wrote:cheers rob
it is an expensive do, isnt it
am gonna try and weigh up he pros and cons, see a dont know wether to get a full system and save up for it, or just get a can that ll fit my downpipes, a know which will be the cheapest,
How about just a cheap end can to get you through for now and perhaps save for a nice new system in the future?
Shame you werent about the forum sooner i had a slip on can with a 30mm clamp, may have fitted, but you should be fine with one off another bike, i recon they all the same just have different fitting, i could be wrong tho.
