Question about Area P full system
« on: May 25, 2011, 01:29:36 PM »
Does the header/collect on the Area P full system exit at the same place and with the same diameter tubing as the stock header?  I'm thinking about buying a 2 Brothers slip on and was wondering, if I purchased a full system later, would I be able to run the 2 Brothers pipe on the Area P header (and sell the Area P slip on)?  I really like the look of the 2 Bros Black series. . .

I had a similar question about adding just the slip-on for now and then going to the full system next year as funds allowed.   I wrote them and this is what they sent me:

"The Slip-On will only fit OEM headpipe.  The Full System is a clean sheet design and does not share any components with the Slip-On.  The full system price is $995.00 with the carbon fiber muffler."

That's what I needed to know.  I had a feeling that might be the case as Yoshimura did the same thing with their full system on the FZ1.  Thanks.

     I had a similiar idea. I want a full system but I hate the looks of the Area P muffler. Just from general reading it looks like the slip-on mid pipe and muffler is 2" and the full system is 2.25".  My Leo Vince slip-on is 54mm which is  2 1/8.  I've been wondering if a muffler shop could swage the pipe out big enough to fit over the Area P but who knows if they would line up or not.

 Just thinking out loud.

As a retired guy that once did exhaust work for a living, I can tell You that most stainless exhaust tubing cannot be swaged to a larger diameter. It will split. The exhaust tubing used for aftermarket bike exhaust however, looks to be much higher quality that automotive type, so it could be possible. It will ruin the pipe if it splits though, and doesn't give any warning. It just goes,"boing" & that's that.
