This system is by far the best value for money exhaust you can buy on the market today. The stainless steel finish looks stunning and the welds are spot on,

the centre junction pipe has a baffle installed allowing the use of a small end can without making the exhaust too loud

both pipes have oxygen sensors threads welded into them, so no re mapping required

its very important you read these instructions carefully because the latest edition has been improved from the previous. The main change is, keeping the old gaskets in the head and use the new ones over the top of them, and also making sure you keep the baffle in, especially on euro 5 models because it will run too hot and damage the exhaust system,

now its time to remove the stock system, make sure your bike is cold.

Start by removing the oxygen sensor wire, carefully snip these two zip ties.

Now remove the right horn from the top bolt

slide the plug forward from the bracket, push in the tab and separate

please not the yellow marked wire is for the right exhaust and the green is for the left exhaust

now remove this heat shield, it has one bolt and slides off as shown

loosen the clamp
unscrew the muffler bolt
wiggle the muffler off

unscrew the manifold bolts as shown

now remove the centre clamp and slide off the manifold

remove the oxygen sensor with a quick jolt

do the exact same for the left side

as per instructions leave the stock gaskets in and place the new ones over the top

screw on the oxygen sensor, just nip it up

grease the new gasket to hold it in place

install the left shoulder pipe as shown

screw the two nuts on but dont fully tighten them, just enough so the pipe can move but not fall

grab the down pipe and push the gasket all the way in until it stops

install the clamp so its snug but not tight

slide the pipe on the left shoulder

grease up the right gasket and place it over the old one

screw in the oxygen sensor and tighten

manoeuvre the sensor round the frame and screw the nuts in finger tight

grab the centre section and slide on, this will be a tight fit, give the pipes a wiggle getting the right angle and it will slide in, use wd40 if you need to

install the centre bracket

install the baffle into the muffler, use sir clip pliers, tap in with a screw driver make sure its seated correctly, use wd40 if you need to

slide the muffler on and put the bolt in finger tight

install the exhaust springs, be careful and wear eye protection

install the centre bolt, you may need to put the bike on the stand stand to get access to it

plug in both oxygen sensors and cable tie them as they were before

install the horn

use the supplied cable tie and wrap it round the clutch cable, keeping it away from the down pipe

now get an assistant to pull backward on the exhaust system while you tighten from back to front as shown, the reason I did this was to make the gap larger between the front manifold and the frame, making sure you dont over tighten the manifold bolts, tighten them in sequence from up to down and nip them up with a small ratchet, they are around 12-18 nm

filly clean the exhaust with parts cleaner

allow to run for 15 minutes and check for any leaks , place your hand over the end to hear and feel for any hissing from the joints

allow to cool and recheck manifold bolts
