696 pipes on older monster

[mooml]

I've noticed the only thing about my 2003 m800 I don't like are the low pipes.  Is there any way to convert an older monster to the higher exhaust like the 696 has without doing some major custom work?

[Howie]

You could just buy a set of aftermarket high pipes for your Monster from any of our sponsors and bolt 'em right up.

That would work, just not on my budget.  I've noticed that 696 stock pipes go for pretty cheap which is why I was asking.  Also why is there such a high demand for the 696 midpipe and almost none for the cans.

Sure they will fit... with enough cash.

But on a budget that precludes existing high-mount kits - doubtful unless you are an able fabricator. There's some signifigant differences from DSS monsters to the 696

the 696 midpipe replaces the 796 and 1100 midpipes which have the exhaust valve in them. the 696 does not. hence with 696 midpipe and non-catalytic straight cans, you have a full open system.
