Exhaust Rubbers
-
I have bought 3 in the last 2 months. There seems to be an underlying problem here as there cannot be a problem with the rubbers. all 3 have split down the side. Is there something im doing wrong? or do i go down the route of flexible exhaust pipe.
-
They're just useless mate.
I went through countless ones and ended up not bothering.
I don't think rubber is the solution here. I think a metal enclosure is about the only thing that'll work.
-
That join doesnt look too good surely my tail pipe slots over the front pipe leaving a nice tidy surface for my rubber to sleeve over
-
Agree with @andrewj1680 here, there definitely should be some overlap but not sure if you have loosened the system off for that pic?
My latest solution now has holes in it, so I haven't found a way of sorting this yet either. Might get a metal pipe welded on to move the join, so I can access it easier as on the TDR it's in the most awkward place so something like exhaust wrap isn't a viable option for me.

That is the system tightened up, they are two DEP pipes so I'm not sure what the problem is... I was looking at this instead of rubber with two clamps on it, hopefully this will be a better option.

However i am not able to measure it yet, and i am going off what other people have used. -
Oh, I thought you separated them to show us the problem. No mate the dep should slide into the end can. The the rubber just provides a seal.
-
@calum So if that is the pipe on the actual holes for the exhaust, how can it attach to the frame?

@anthonypearson Have a look at the dep end can.
On the under side it will have the year stamped on it. Ensure it matches the year of your bike. It could be a DTRE pipe.
-
You could make a little bracket to mount on the bracket on the exhasut, to move ot more forward and seal better with the expansionchamber.

Exhaust wrap and jubelees . Works 100%
-
After more fiddling lots of hammering and swearing tools thrown across the garage. I have managed to get them closer, they just don't seem to want to go inside one another.
-
@calum the tail pipe is for the year of bike I just think the problem here is the front pipe not being correct. I'm not going to spend £180 on a new one though as it's a little bit expensive for an expansion chamber.

I have a wr200 exhaust on 1 of my dts mate and i had a gap similar what i did was use the bolt hole that the grab handle goes on instead and the put a washer over the bolt that would normally go through the bottom tailpipe bracket and tighten that the bottom mount should be just infront of the original bolt hole
