e series owners

[BlasterEaten250]

I just recieved a used e series and when i go to put it on, the mounting bracket does not line up at all when I slip it onto the headpipe. Was I supposed to get some special mounting hardware or something? It seems like the stock headpipe doesn't curve up enough at the end. Am I just doing something wrong?

Is it the S-bend slip on E-series or the Pro Meg E-series cuz if its the Pro Meg you need the Header for it to work right. Get some pics up then we can tell whats goin on.

my friend has one il see if u need something special

You also need a 2&1/2 long aluminum spacer for the top mounting bracket. Are you missing that?

you can run it without the spacer, I did but its better to have it

[BlasterEaten250]

ahh shoot, i really hope its not the pro meg:ermm: I dont have that spacer, it could be that, I'm REALLY hoping its as simple as that:( Also, is it more or less disks in that makes it quieter?

[wykyd450R]

Its not the pro-meg. You can use a bunch of washers to make the spacer if needed.

more disks+remove spark arrestor=LOUDER=FASTER=:D

I got it to work without the spacer, but I will eventually go to the hardware store and get some sort of spacer and longer bolt.

I'm going to keep it on the quiet side, it definately needs new packing.

here's a picture of it

If you don't put the spacer on it you will break it.

[oleboy87]

you have a pic of where the spacers go? i dont quite know what you talking about... the way i shipped it to you is the way it came off the bike

[AtvMxRider]

The spacer goes behind the top bracket on the pipe.

[oleboy87]

yea i see what you mean now but mine had a lil play in it and allowed it to just bolt up

[zdowell]

You could get a longer bolt and a bunch of washers, it would do the same, just look at little ghetto. If you could find something cylinder in shape and cut it to like 2 to 2 1/2 inches it would look just like the spacer its suppose to look like.

[oleboy87]

yeaaa maybe a piece or small pipe.. sounds like ya bro is ready to check it out

[glamiskid395]

you shouldnt need to repack the e-series but i could be wrong, does anybody know if you have to repack.
mines 4 years old and i havent repacked.

what will i gain from repacking?

repacking is fairly straight forward. drill the rivets out, or if you're lucky, take the bolts out. some may not require the midpipe end rivets to be removed, so i would try just the outlet side first. this will allow you to pull the end cap, and the core out of the canister. not all are the same, for example- on an HMF the core is welded to the midpipe end, so drilling out all of the rivets and taking the canister off is necessary. once you have the core out, remove the old packing, and wrap the new stuff around it. rubberband the new packing so it stays, and cut it to length. with this, reassemble the pipe with the new packing still rubberbanded around the core. install new rivets or to make it more repacking friendly, tap threads into the rivet holes and use bolts instead. repacking is just regular maintenance, and it is not meant to enhance performance. however, blown out packing can cause a loss in low end power and it will cause your pipe to be louder than it should be.

[oleboy87]

with the new packing its not giong to sound hollow anymore... but its only going to help the power

[glamiskid395]

my pipe doesnt have the hollow sound as bad as my buddys 400 who has only had the pipe for 2 years.

if i get the time ill repack it before new years trip to glamis.

thanks, didnt mean to steel the thread.
