Title: Quat D midpipe- what's the cloth for? and gasket question.S2R1K Post by: J.P. on July 20, 2008, 04:26:03 AM Checked everywhere, TOB, translated the instructions, ...
It's a small piece of heat insulating cloth, came in the hardware bag. The pipes went on as expected, some leakage at the horizontal port- does the cloth go in there? I noticed the pipe is a smaller OD than stock, and a looser fit to the engine exhaust port. Already bent the flange piece trying to tighted it- is there a gasket I can try? Thanks!JP.

I used liquid gasket to try to seal everything up... any auto parts store should have it Title: Re: Quat D midpipe- what's the cloth for? and gasket question.S2R1K Post by: booger on July 20, 2008, 09:07:06 PM Did you use the two clamps that came with the kit? I have one for my bike, and used the two clamps that came with the pipe on the two header joints. No leakage that I can detect. I wondered what the cloth was for myself but couldn't figure it out. The instructions translated make no mention of them. Dunno what the zip ties are for either.

Got the leaks stopped w/ alittle adjusting. Still alittle too room-ie in the header to port area for me and the pipe flange lip is too small for the securing plate(?)- but it all works and looks(sounds) good.
Know where I can get a copper bushing for in there? I think Fromario has it figured out. Title: Re: Quat D midpipe- what's the cloth for? and gasket question.S2R1K Post by: dlearl476 on July 21, 2008, 10:07:10 AM i believe the cloth is to wipe your tears away when nothing fits!! [laugh] ;D [clap] |
