What are the torque specifications please.

I can't find it in the sm. It mentions the cct flange bolts but not cct lifter bolts.

Cheers

Going from memory so I maybe wrong but as stock bikes hp figures for the 6g was down slightly over 5g, and 8g slightly over 6g.

however the 8g did have a better torque curve from lower down

I thought mid pipes came with the aftermarket muffler(s) 5g or 6g and then it came down to what the diameter of said m.p. is.

50mm o.d. needs expanding (good luck with that, high risk of splitting) or a 50•x i.d. sleeve welded over the top of m.p.

got nothin' better to do... and it was interesting reading the evolution of the header build.  Btw I wasn't the 1st member to ask that question and he didn't get as much flack as I did so I think it only fair for those who commented to my post go back through the thousand pages of posts to find the 1st post and retroactively give him some of what I got.

No flack mate.

Now going back thru the thread for yourself you found 'this' story and its history and feel good about yourself for doing so, yes?

And I commend you for doing so

Your Time well spent then👍

I new you could do it, I had faith

Can anyone point me to the right page where the Dyno graphs were done after the installation of the headers on the 5th gen?

nah, back is left, just keep going back you'll find it 😉

I've always tended to place the split against the head as I've seen thin headers open the gasket up and then they burn.

My 2 cents worth

😭 do I need to take the exhaust apart and off and install crush gaskets the other way.  Smh.

Nooooo

I'm definitely more of an over man, myself. 

Oops, wrong forum...

Nope, maybe that is the perfect comparison 😀

This has been discussed.  If installed correctly, it should not interfere with the exhaust gas flow at all.

I would agree if we lived in a perfect world but...

Shit happens

Risk mitigation is what its about🙂

seem facing out from engine.

If you have it the other way, when crushed the seem will/may be catching the gases if it is outside of the internal wall of header.

we like pictures of your bike around here. So do post some and an introduction

Howdy!

I just spent nearly 6 hours reading the whole story from this and the original thread back from 2016 (one heck of a story that is!). I JUST saw this comment and I do NOT want this ship to sail without me!

I just purchased a clapped 00' veefer a month ago, and have been repairing her ever since I've picked her up. 

For those who have their's already, what mufflers are you running? I'd like to know what's out there!

(I need to create an account really quickly so DM's are available, so give me a hot minute.)

Thanks! 😄 

Wow that's some staying power to read the entire thread.  👏⭐

Wait what and the previous 1  🍻🥃🥃

Not sure if this info was ever posted and since we did receive an inquiry regarding weight, here is what I was able to gather using a luggage scale. Not sure of the accuracy i.e. +/- X% but seems to be pretty good for shipping stuff. Anyway, here are some weights I gathered.

 

Replica Headers: 9.42 lbs.

1999 OEM Headers: 10.56 lbs.

2009 OEM Headers: 13.94 lbs.

And you can definitely feel the difference the weight reduction makes to the suspension for the 6g

With their unwillingness to help there shall be no NO reference to the dos hermanas 😆 .

They will realise the W i L D  Headers could have been their sales.    😈MWAHAHAHA

So I was thinking that these headers should be given a name, rather than some generic term and something that pays respect to the unobtainium makers.

Wade industries, Lance and Darryl 

What do y'all think?

W i L D  VFR headers

Cool beans, boOZZIE. Even simpler than the T-bolt clamp solution we were struggling with.

Nah,  it didn't work mate.

The little rubber nipple thingy on the stop that pushes thru a hole in the OE exhaust almost sheared off and has been separated now.

I do have a solution for anyone who has the "complete" OE rubber stop and the OE 2 bolt strap clamp.

You just need a little right angle bracket with a hole for a bolt of the strap clamp and a hole for the nipple of the rubber stop.

Hi boOZZIE,

Thank you for your donation of 50.00 USD. We look forward to improving the forums with your donation.

Thanks VFRDiscussion

Nope that didn't work. Smh

Came back from a ride and it was about  1mm away from braking off.

Zip tied to C stand 4 now

Not to take anything away from Sebs mad skills, more so if I can find a cheap arse solution I'll try to... and I did.

That's the original stop sandwiched between the jaws of the slightly modified ( ground the leading edge flat ) strap clamp

Ok, so I've tried my Micron mufflers on but they be 1/2" short. It probably would have been alright if the Micron slip joint section wasn't slotted.

So now to find a fabricator to do a wee little extension 

I spose I can always put it on later if its to hot

Is there any need to re-install the heat shield (moded) on rear set?    No hot foot or brake line?

o2 bung - there's a EFI shop near me and they stock em, maybe see if uv got a local shop

Hear it is 

Weeeelll, I've been going over the procedures and how toos - probably like the rest of us though - for a little bit now😉 so I thought I'd get into it.

A couple of the harder install points were getting the o2 sensors out (tight) and clocking the flanges and getting the nuts started on the rears.

Good luck with yours👍

😀Yep, getting that this afternoon , by the time I took pic it was getting a bit late to keep her running last night
