Yes mate. I'll dig out the links I usually refer people to.

Photographs paint a thousand words. (a great write up by the guy, if truth be told!)
Apologies for it being an SV.. same principles apply
Any questions I'll help as best I can.
waited 24 hours before starting the bike, just to make sure the silicone was all hardened. You can peel/cut off any excess silicone after it dries. That works on the pipes, but I was afraid to try that with the carbon fiber so I made sure I cleaned any wet silicone off of the carbon after everything was reattached.
You dont need to wait 24 hours and you dont need any really special sealant, a decent household silicone will do.
top tip:
If theyre second hand pipes, clean the things out before you fit them. get rid of as much soot build up from both ends while the secondhand cans are off the bike. that way you will have a starting point and can gain info on how your bike is performing by the soot levels and build up inside the pipe (said about that before on here) bottom of the can, lower end revs, end pipe of the can, higher revs. excess carbon tends to indicate a richness, point in the can shows where in the rev range.
Unless you ride like a guuurl.
Oh and important PS.
if youre stripping carbon cans, be careful not to damage the sleeves. They do damage relatively easily.
) Has anyone here had an issue with exhaust pipes giving off so much heat that they burn your boots !!?? Went abroad in summer and noticed my alpinestars had deteriorated rather badly, but put it down to their age, until recently I went for a quick spin in trainers and they were actually scorched on the heel. Been riding for over 20 years on various scooters and bikes but never had that before. Pipes are upswept (not hi-level) carbon oval renegades. I appreciate that this area is hot, but this hot at the cans? Forced me to replace my 10 year old boots though
