tc shorty instalation

[tmccaughin]

i just got a tc shorty pipe and the stock header is to long how woud i put it on

[hardkoratvmxr]

i think you have to cut your stock header down.

[JR3]

When i got mine I cut the stock header about 5 1/2 inches. I cut a lil longer at first to make sure. Remeber go a little longer then u think at first to be sure you dont over do it.

[ride_red666]

JR dont u mean cut it a little longer cause it easier to cut more than weld the pipe back together.

[JDiablo]

you have to cut 5 7/16's of a inch off exaclty,it can't be 5 and a 1/2:blah:

Not that I am aware of. Their shorty silencers are designed to be used with the stock head pipe. And yes, it does need to be cut down to fit properly.

Yeah they do actually sell headpipes as well. I believe you have to buy it as a whole system though.

Hmm, I didn't know that :ermm: Still, if that's the price they want for just the silencer, i'd hate to ask what a full system would run.

One of my favorite pipes regardless :cool:

I have one, and on a 400ex he dose not make a header for it, he just uses the stock headpipe to retain the lowend grunt the pipe is known for.

Yea when i talked to him he said he doesnt make head pipes.

I think if you try to use a aftermarket head pipe you will blow the head gasket :o

That is what i heard.

Do us all a favor and learn something about motors. When you do you can come back and admit how you had no idea what you were talking about.
