Anyone know what the torque specs are for the exhaust header nuts? I used 14nm, sealed so far but couldn’t find any information on it anywhere. Getting the O2 sensor wire free from 2 frame locking zip ties inside chassis was TOUGH!

I was curious to see what was behind this exhaust end cap, it is only held on with two screws, so I thought I would have a little look.
Nothing to see really, the end of the exhaust is fully welded and has no option of removing a baffle.

17cm/7.5 inches in there is a drilled plate. In the past I would have got my drill out and increased the size of the holes. I am not sure that doing this would increase the noise of the pops on overrun as the cat and the resonator box are responsible for most of the noise suppression on modern bikes.

The layout is similar to a GS 750 I used to own. There was available for that bike a resonator link pipe. The resonator box is removed, with quite a weight saving and the pipe fitted between the end of the cat and the silencer. This increased the noise level and I felt it helped the engine breathe more easily.
Any thoughts?

@ScrambledEggs, I do not want to hijack your tread, but does anyone know where I can get that wider rear fender/mudguard section?
From the GOV.UK website
The only vehicles that do not have an emissions test as part of the MOT are:
- vehicles with fewer than 4 wheels
- vehicles with 2-stroke engines
- hybrid vehicles
- quadricycles
- hydrogen fuel cell vehicles
- electric vehicles
Thank you for your reply. Is it a Triumph Part or one made by an aftermarket manufacturer?
I like the look of that too and wonder if it can be sourced in the UK.
That looks a nice sleek header, especially compared to the standard part. I bet there is a huge weight saving.
It looks however, as if the external diameter is smaller than the standard part, is the internal diameter the same?

The Riot decat header, mentioned a few posts up, is more or less the same thing, just a stainless steel pipe.
They claim the following:-
Beyond aesthetics and Decibels, our riot header pipe also offers a remarkable weight reduction of 5.6kg compared to the stock header pipe. Weighing in at 1.1kg!
That is about 4.5kg or 9.9lb.
You beat me to it. Ok it is a nice hand made product, but still. I wonder if any Indian companies will offer a more cost effective option.Whoa....$1340? That's 25% of what the bike cost.
Could you remove the black paint and polish the stainless steel underneath?
