Exhaust Leak
 

Hi,

I got Motad downpipe with arrow Dakar, sounds nice, i found the engine a bit more revy from 4500 rpm ...
But the problem I have is the leak between the two, I thought I could fit the previous seal but it doen not fit.
So I ;m left with exhaust sealant, does not last more than 400/500km, I wonder if anybody has had the same problem, any solution welcome

Blimey that was loud........
 

Chap passed me the other day on an XT fitted with a CZR can-it was very, very loud complete with plenty of popping & banging. I could hear it loud as anything 100m away with my visor down. Wonder where he parks it? Where I live everyone would think someone was being shot!

Hi
could have been me if it was near Highgate station I did pass an XT600e a few days ago.
My bike pops and bangs alot. It did have a decibel killer to make it a bit quiter but that fell out, I rode it for a while like that but just to loud.
I also have a leo vince on an old XT very nice sound and also an Arrow also sound nice and not to loud.

ahhh popping and banging...the beautiful signs of bad carb tuning :rofl:

Well, I bought an used exhaust of a 2006 WR450 and "moding it a little" and will be fitting it on my XT600E :D

Arrow can stainless bolts straight on, extremely loud 1989 xt600z 1VJ
Love it

Bsm vampire with db killer. Stainless and lovely build quality, Bolts straight on original downpipe. Very nice sound with db-killer inserted and will not dent underneath like the produro. Full open exhaust without db-killer with acceptable sound.

Ah, it was you! Your bike sounds nice (that's what attracted my attention), I was just surprised by how far away I could hear you after you passed me.
(& it does pop & bang alot!)
It is pretty difficult to tell how loud an exhaust is unless you're behind it-
it wasn't until I swapped bikes with my boyfriend recently that I realised how quiet my XT is & he realised how loud his VFR750 is...

I like the sound of my original exhaust :) More and deeper of the same sound would be nice though.. but I dont like the sound of some new exhaust i think they sound like too much of a modern 4stroke superracing bike. too clean sound, not good :p Tractor Factor ftw :thumbup1:

You can remove the bolt in the rear of the exhaust, and then ypu'll be able to remove the baffle.

You can buy replacement baffles with less restriction, to make it breathe better, and sound more "umf"

Or you could just saw off the pipe, when you've taken the end out.

Did you get a Quill system? Which one and do you have pictures,sound clip and powerchange-report?

BUMP...

just to see if anyone has had any other idea...

I've read somewhere that the FMF for the Honda XR600 fits the XT..straight bolt on...

Quill
 

Just in case any of the original enquirers are still looking, I've just fitted a Quill can and Motad downpipes. The pipes went straight on, with no lining up problems at all. The can was a bit trickier and I had to mess around with the bracket to get it to line up, but it went on OK in the end. Sounds great and not too noisy. Seems to rev easier too, with no carb adjustments needed.
This is how it looks. I've also saved about 4kgs in weight - an added bonus.

Is it the Quill t-3 or evo-2 ? I couldnt quite see on the picture..
My quill evo2 arrived yesterday after along wait,but havent mounted it yet :)

Mine is the T3, oval. Mine took a long time too, but was worth the wait. Ley us know ho you get on with fitting it and post a pic too, if you can.

Geoff

This is quite the cool list you guys. some of this stuff I wouldnt have ever thought of adapting to an XT.
