Giannelli vs stock

declan

@jonne123 a bit of car radiator hose

Calum

@declan I think I tried that and it didn't work.

Honest to God, the exhaust joining rubbers did my nut in on my DT. Glad I don't have that anymore.

declan

@Calum its whats on my bike and many mx guys do it with silicone hoses

Calum

@declan Happy days!

Does athena exhaust fit all dt 125 r/re/x or do they have differences?

Calum

RE/X are the same. R is slightly different.

jonne123

But with little modificarion they fit?

Calum

Yeah, it's the same engine. There are a few mounts that aren't right. And the tail pipe is off every slightly. So needs a joiner.

Not particularly worth it IMO. Unless it doesn't cost you anything to make the parts and/or the part you're buying is dirt cheap.

So to confirm.

jonne123

so these

Calum

Yeah those.

jonne123

so grinding and welding?

Calum

Or just some brackets. You will have to have a look on this forum where the mismatch is.

I'm pretty sure there is a photo about how far off the end can is.

it's not worth it IMO. Just get a DEP pipe that's fitted to the bikes frame.

jonne123

yes but i bought used one for 125 euros. we have welder so no problem.

Calum

I can't help feel like the contours are different. So you still need to mount the silencer in a different location. It's not worth the faff.

jonne123

examble here

the seller said it came with 4bl 170cc big bore kit

Calum

Hhmm, also says it fits all models.

I know there are fitment issues with the DEP Pipe.

Personally wouldn't get an Athena exhaust, would go for something else but it says it'll fit.

jonne123

What do you succest? i dont have money for dep.

Calum

Should be able to get a used DEP for that price.

jonne123

But here in finland there is only giannelli or athena pipes used

Calum

That's odd that, as I can't say I'd recommend either of those pipes.

I'm sure they are fine. As I say, the DT just isn't a quick bike, so definitely don't spend too much $$$ trying to make it into something it's not.

By all means release some free ponies and just enjoy it for what it is.
