Exhaust

[Harrisf1]

Hi guys, I have just purchased a K5 with the standard single exhaust.

I purchased a set of links and Blue Flame Evo silencers they were a duel set so I guess they are from the earlier GSX, I was hoping to just use the right side but the link pipe doesn't fit the collector, so I ordered a seal for the K5 but it wont fit in to the link pipe, I am waiting for an earlier one to see if that works.

Any ideas...... or could I just purchase a Delkavic 4 in to 2 collector and use the Blue flames I have and have dual exhausts.

I like that idea.

Or am I going to have to sell the Blue flames and buy a K5 exhaust 

Cheers

Hiya there different you'll need a link pipe and exhaust off a later gsx1400
Or get a 4-2 collector,centerstand and a left hand exhaust hanger/rear footrest from a twin pipe model.
Your downpipe will fit the earlier exhaust parts.

You will need a 4-2 collector, std, SBS or Delkevic (Delkevic would be my pick) and some exhaust hangers for the LH side or an earlier model LH rear footrest to support your can.

Red has a set of footrests that you should think about. http://gsx1400owners.org/forum/index.php?topic=2259.0

You could also think about Delkevic headers being single skinned they will let the engine breath a little more but they will stain a bit quicker.

I forgot about the Centre stand that Seth mentioned, the K5-7 is a bit wider and fouls on 4-2 pipes, the K1-K4 centre stand can be fitted with some washers or spacers to give clearance.

Cheers... Just messaged Red to see if he still has the hangars......

Delkavic are only a couple of miles from me so I may pick up a collector....

I personally think twin pipes suit the retro look better. Others here may disagree, even if they are wrong

And that's all that matters, you like how your bike is & others like how their bike is.  There isn't a right & wrong.

I have just fitted a Delkevic 4:2 collector plus a pair of their cans too. Quality kit.

Did you have any issues with the centre stand when fitting the 4-2 ?
