Looks like the hanger for the can is too short. Fab up a longer hanger, and You should be good. Got a picture of the hanger?Hi Jamie,
Almost everyone that uses ZX exhaust, has to bend the midpipe. It is evidently, not difficult to do. Look around on the forum, and I'm sure there is a post on here about people doing it, with the pipe already installed on the bike.Yeah this is killing me, I have looked and looked for months and it all seemed a breeze. Will try some more forum searches to see what I can come up with.
I tightened the headers, then the muffler hangers (1 1/2" longer), then the muffler to midpipe, finally the midpipe to header connection. This was with zx headers and muzzy duals on an '08. I found that the donut gasket at the midpipe to header was thick enough to flex to allow clearance when tightened in this order.Unfortunately the Two Bros exhausts are straight pipe on pipe, no gasket between midpipe and header. Looks like if I want to keep them a custom hanger extension is a must, so I will try your method tomorrow after a trip to the hardware store but I don't think I will experience any joy unless I can bend that midpipe without snapping the whole header off the block.
For me, you have to turn the fitting of the final anti-clockwise, and so will lower the final fitting ..Hi MGvalerio,
Sounds to me like the headers were from a wrecked bike and are bent. I put 06 ZX14 headers on mine, already had the Two Brothers slip on installed before. I didn't have this issue.Yeah I have been wondering similar myself. Bought them off eBay 11 months ago, so who fricken knows.
