exsaust down pipes

#1 Post by blinkey501 » Sun Nov 06, 2011 2:10 am

Does the falco down pipes fit straight onto the collector of a mille system, to turn falco into a single sided exsaust :smt017

the rear down pipe will fit - though it is not perfect = and that one is the bugger to swop....

the from header pipe is easy to get at and change... though the mille header means that you need to change the oil tank....


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

You will have to dremel the left hand side opening a touch - I have posted pictures of it

And if you are going to do the job properly .... And have the correct Mille mid section - get the mid pipe renegade mod done....

Not if you have one of Greg_D's modified mille middle sections.
That fits with Falco headers and Falco oil tank and Falco oil cooler .... all posted on the forum

I have two options to look at in regards to the 2 into 1, i have looked at Greg D's mid section he was having made most impressive, or change the oil tank and fit the mille system, i was thinking of fitting the dan moto GP can and start the bike up half a mile from my neighbors when she is on nights :smt003 , I am also thinking of fitting a renegade air box or an air box mod of some description, not sure which yet. I really would like a set of throttle boddies like you have described in our previous conversation, just need to source all the bits which will take time and patience and overtime at work to pay for all of this :smt012. If anyone reading this can help with bits please pm me :smt002

If the standard collector could be modded ala Greg D, then I would do that and keep my cans.

I do like the venoms, i might fit them to the oasis but not sure, i have been and got the mille oil tank headers and collector off a smashed up falco. also got the link pipe and box too at a good price :smt002 The colletor is the right one for the Greg D mod, so a trip to my mates fab shop is on the cards :smt003
