Fitting Cans

[grog]

I have 3 sets of diff Cans. 2 just slip onto collecter, tighten clamp. Other needs the original suzuki gasket tube thing, listed in parts but no longer available.Talked to exhaust specialist. Answer is either cut up coke can to make up layers or aluminium tape. A bit of exhaust sealant on both options.

Could you use some fibre packing like they use on those gas fire place front windows, that stuff is temp rated and fills all gaps nicely.  Some permatex red exhaust sealent should hold it in place. Just an idea.

Should I use diet coke cans to save weight?

[Eric GSX1400K3]

Unpainted coke zero cans would save even more weight...

Im diabetic, of course only zero coke cans. 😂

For repairing exhausts I found steel food cans had a higher endurance to aluminium cans. I would tell people my 400/4 Honda had a Campbells exhaust system.

Are these what you mean?
I bought a set of these for my K3 sometime back, albeit a bit cheaper then.

The gasket/tube thing i was talking about, bit of WD40 under it, slipped right off easily. Ready to use again, not bad for 14 yrs.
