dogman Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 So far as far as I know the Akrapovic is the only pipe available for the gen 8, so maybe we can post here if peoples become aware of any new ones that become available. The Akra is not readily available from the usual sources either, and the sewing machine sound of the stock doesn't quite do it... Thanks in advance.

AB-Oz Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 the first owner in Oz should ride to Staintune and let them have the bike for a couple of weeks, let them work their magic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyr Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 There is a clip of a "pipewerX" slipon on youtube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marriedman Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I would buy any can for the 5th gen and have a mid pipe bent at an exhaust shop. No need to wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogman Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share Posted June 17, 2014 There is a clip of a "pipewerX" slipon on youtube. Interesting, there is no listing on the pipewerx site for this bike so I am starting to think that a Gen 5 slipon will work, especially if the rear support is the strap type.

SHvar Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 MSRP of $785.95. Was on the phone checking for price and availability when my dealer called to let me know my new VFR800 is there and in the crate, I will pick it up tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogman Posted June 20, 2014 Author Share Posted June 20, 2014 We are in luck! Any gen 5 pipe will fit. I just tried an OEM gen 5 pipe and it fits perfectly, right down to the footpeg hanger and the mainstand bump stop. No need to bend anything Gen 5 pipe on gen 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer boOZZIE Posted June 20, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted June 20, 2014 Wow that 5G can is long, has any1 just gutted the original 8G can yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marriedman Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Thanks for testing and clearing that up! That should mean that the 8th gen has a huge selection built on and the 5th gen might have a few new choices soon.

Dannytb Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I would buy any can for the 5th gen and have a mid pipe bent at an exhaust shop. No need to wait!No need. The mid pipe from the 5G will work. Now to convince Dogman to get a 13" tri-oval from Delkevic. ;)Edit: I spoke too soon... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ridered Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 someone needs to make a high mount that works with the luggage, or an underseat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nas Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Much better with the Dam exhaust! Still not as good as the under-tail exhaust, not anywhere near... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer wagzhp Posted June 24, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted June 24, 2014 So that means the Micron high mount that I have on my 5th gen would fit. Nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choco Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Yeah, I still like the under seat, twin Remus or Staintunes, hard to beat for sound and looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High mount support brackets might not fit the 8G. True, however it wouldn't be that hard to fab one up. Heck, you may beven be able to do it with off the shelf stuff at a hardware store. Probably have to notch the rear fairing though. I did on my 5th gen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
