toreckman Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I have an 01 VFR800 and I am looking at replacing the stock exhaust system. I am looking at a viper exhaust: Viper Alloy Oval Slip-On E-Marked Can With Removable Baffle Universal Fitment And Delkavic (or Lextek) SS Downpipes, like these: Delkevic 4-1 Stainless Steel Headers Honda VFR800 Interceptor VFR 800 Normally the Viper exhaust uses the following mid-pipe for hanging the exhaust: Viper motorcycle exhaust connecting pipe That mid-pipe is for mounting the exhaust in the stock position. How would I go about getting the pipe high mounted? Could I just purchase a mid-pipe for a high mount exhaust, like the mid pipe that comes with the high mount version of: Dominator Exhaust Honda VFR 800 Fi 1998 - 2001 Can you mix and match exhaust parts like that? Or are they built specifically for a matching exhaust? Is getting a link pipe fabricated, the only option? Also, is there a such a thing as a high mount kit, with high mount hangers etc. for mounting? Finally, does anyone have experience with the GPR dual exit exhaust for the 5th gen?: GPR Exhaust System Honda Vfr 800 RC46 1998/01 Homologated slip-on exhaust Dual Inox It looks interesting, what effect does dual exit have v/s single pipe exit for the 5th gen? I couldn't find much info on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Skids Posted January 29 Member Contributer Share Posted January 29 Can't answer most but why swap downpipes? 01 downpipes are SS. I have a single GPR which is excellent. Looks and sounds good and easily fitted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long have you had the gpr? Ah ok. It is only surface crud as they are SS and should polish up. You can fit O2 eliminators and I cut the cat out on my old 98 when I fitted a set of 01 downpipes to it many years ago. However, I do get what yr trying you do so please let us know how you get on with it. I fitted the GPR about a year ago. My 01 is an April - September bike. I bought her very low mileage (<9k) and spent a few £ sparkling her up and now she's a keeper. Story here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer MBrane Posted January 31 Member Contributer Share Posted January 31 Not much I can add as you are in the Euro market so your options are different than here in the US. I can say that I have a GPR high mount on one of my 5th gens, and it is a good piece of kit. I eliminated the extension bracket, and made my own custom mount off the subframe since this bike has no more passenger pegs. Wether another manufacturer's mid pipe will line up with a different muffler is kind of a crap-shoot. Depends on dimensions, and attachment methods. You can see my GPR if you zoom in. 6F569765-5845-43E6-8DB6-D4D2D1FE618D.heic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are your downpipes, stock? Its looking like I will have to get a mid pipe fabricated and a custom high mount bracket, unless anyone else has a better idea? Hopefully I can find someone local to make the pipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
