Title: Need Arrow Exhaust plug
Post by: RonB on September 13, 2014, 02:56:26 PM
So I searched and can't find any US contact info for Arrow. I need the brass plug that goes in the head pipe. It blew out at sometime. Bought the Exhaust from a ebay dealer so I doubt I will get any help their.

Anyone know where I can get one?

I found the bag with the EGR block off plug. Their were 2 of them in their. ;D

Was thinking I should use some Loctite on them? May not do anygood because of the exhaust heat, don't know.

High temp loctite might work. I'd also recommend a crush/lock washer of some kind if you can find one.

the  OEM ones come without anything . . . we lost one in one of the demo bikes and sounde like a lawn mower . ..  installed a new one and gave it the " I think is tight enough" treatment and bike has been sold and teh plug still there . . .

I use Anti-Seize and a copper crush washer, same size as brakes, 10mm.

i use the loctite silver anti seize, which works great if you ever want to get it out again.  ducati # 78020011A.  copper washer 85250241A.

Thanks for the info Brad. I didn't look at the stock exhaust when I removed it. I didn't really realize the stock exhaust had the same thing.

I guess Arrow doesn't feel the copper washers are necessary. The plug that was still in didn't have one. Scavenged them of the old exhaust. Thanks for the help guys.
