High level exhaust (job in a shed)

[Gary b]

I’ve had my T7 for 3 months but only managed 400 miles so far due to having a new hip and still recovering,so took the opportunity to do some mods ready for when I can start hitting the trails again.

I like the look of the standard exhaust system but it’s very prone to damage so I enlisted the help of a good friend with a tig welder and set about cutting and shutting.

We cut off the original silencer hanger and welded some brackets on to make it removable and then made a smaller hanger in a new high position( the original can be remounted if wanted )

I bought some 50mm stainless bends off fleebay and my tig welding guru got to grips with the new link pipe.

All in all I’m very pleased with the results but time will tell when I get back in the dirt

Nice execution,  tucked in very well and I dare say, better than factory.

The stock exhaust is very prone to damage indeed. I found out for myself this week first hand that you have to bend it out after every drop. Gets old fast. Great looking work, nice job!

That is what Yamaha should have given us from factory. Great Job!

do you have a link to the 50mm pipe you got from EBay?

It was the 180 bend plus a section of straight

Superb job @Gary band best looking version of this I've seen. Most look like a sink u-bend. This looks factory.

 

Brilliant !

I'm hoping you are going to get this done in titanium now, custom shops are just waiting for you to go and knock at the door ... Aleks

Ha Ha. Now we're talking !!

Looks proper (is that how they say it over there?).

I'm surprised the lack of choices of high mount exhaust for this bike one year after release in the UK.

[Gary b]

Biggest problem is the fixed silencer hanger which limits choices

[350rizzer]

I like your solution to the problem. Looks like the pillion pegs can still be mounted if so desired.

[Gary b]

Yep it can

Hi  @Gary b Great job. Did you already have decat headers, or were you working with the original headers?

[johnnygolucky]

Take my money Gary and ship one to the States. Well done! Looks great.  

[Matth]

Fantastic factory job!! I want  one!

[TimmyTheHog]

Saw your post on Facebook

 

This looks awesome!

Already decat headers

Please make this and sell it to us for a reasonable price! The only thing that has kept me from buying a Huzar high pipe is cutting the plastic, if something like this isn't available soon guess I'll have to go with the Huzar. Does the caliper clear the pipe when suspension is fully compressed? I have seen quite a few dirt bikes with long travel have a section of the muffler crimped or dimpled for clearance. Thanks!

Thanks and good to know. 

Lots of interest on this thread as you and your welding mate have done such a good job. 

Remap next then?? He he

Looks right. How it should be. Would sort out luggage issues too.
