3TJ exhaust link pipe alternatives?

Post by Mike Shelby »

Hi - has anyone ever used a link pipe from another bike cut down or tailored one to fit a 3TJ with a good result?

I was wondering if such as an R6 (5eb) one would fit if cut down a bit - has anyone ever tried?

Open to any suggestions/ideas on this as I've contacted someone on ebay who has them (new) but will only sell them with a silencer - which I don't need.

Alternatively has anyone got a standard battered 3tj end can that I can cut off and make a link pipe from the original?

Thanks

Mike

I don't know of any others that fit .... but I'd have though 4JH or T'Cat would be closer than R6. An exhaust fabricator could probably make one for you.

I've got one that I'm not using. Was fitted to my track bike but no longer have that! Pm me if you're interested.

Mike, there is also one on ebay today.
I sent you a PM / email about a 3tj with a 600 motor last week, did you get them?

I had 4jh(micron) and 5eb(akrapovic) mufflers and both are basically the same in term of fitment, i tried to install them on the 3tj, and there are 2 things to work with:
-The link pipes have a reduction where it connects to the header (4jh and 5eb had an smaller diameter header outlet), to fit it you will have to cut the smaller diameter section.
-The bend has more angle than needed, so, to make it fit properly you will have to reduce that angle.
