Title: Has anyone used a 98 - 01 R6 Slip On for their GS?
Post by: jonathanneely on August 01, 2009, 02:52:49 PM
I'm thinking of buying this one

Wiki says to cut about 2" past the 2 in 1. I called Delkevic and the diameter of the inlet on the link pipe is 2". Just after the 2 in 1 on our bike is 1.75" but just past that it's 2".

Me knowing NOTHING about exhausts, where would I cut? Just after the 2 in 1 and slide the link pipe over the cut and then clamp it, or cut it down the pipe a little more where it's 2"...?

HELP A BROTHA OUT!!!

I've got one on mine. Took some tweaking to get it to fit. But is looks great and was cheap.

You got a Delkavic?

No sorry. Mine's an FMF. As far as where to cut, you pretty much just have to wait till you get your pipe and see what will work best.

I cut them at the flare where it goes into the muffler, and I make a shallow cut there by removing just the muffler and most of the flare part.
Then you have 2 inches of the header under that muffler that you now expose. That can be used to slide somehting on and clamp it. The welds work like a stopper if needed. If it gets in the way, cut more and remove more and slide in closer.
The 2 inches form the 2 into 1 sounds like a mod for a flange - which was something that was needed for a slip on fit on a bolt on muffler. These are slip on, not bolt on, so not needed. So cut @ the flare.
Cool.
