I had two broken studs. One just had enough left for me to weld on a nut and remove it fairly easily and the other one I had to painstakingly drill out. I put a time-sert in instead of a helicoil because they are much stronger. I dont think stainless is a good idea. Its not nearly as strong as the original but im interested to see how you go. I used PLENTY of copper slip on reinstallion and I plan to change to change them every 2 years. To get them in and out easily, just put 2 nuts on the stud. Tighten them together to create a lock nut effect. |
I an still considering getting (or probably making) some brass nuts. Just like the old morris had..
Again the issue is the strength. How much pressure is realy required to hold the header in place?? Maybe I'll use a second copper gasket.. |

Brass nuts should be ok. I think just applying copperslip and cracking them lose every now and then will be fine. |
Hi. I've found that Pro Circuit makes the header pipes for the XT600E here is the link:
Pro Circuit Products they cost US$324.95 I also know that there is at least one more header pipes for the XT600E... they are the best looking one I've ever seen... the two tubes that go into the cylinder fit in the "Y" on the main tube and locks with springs... it looks awesome and is stainless steel... I've had the link for the website who sells it but I've lost it.. :rolleyes2: anyone got it? |
I have a Laser stainless system on my 3AJ XT600 it is about 6 years old.
The exhaust and down pipes are fine but the clamps that hold the down pipes to the cylinder are very badly rusted and need replacing which means getting new ones made or buying another set of down pipes. I also have a CRD absolute power 2 on my TTR 600 this was ok untill the baffle inside the exhaust fell apart. I got a new baffle from CRD but the packing for this silincer has been discontinued ( it was like a foam tube that fitted over the baffle in 2 pieces) so had to roll some packing around the baffle. The bike is now too loud. I have an arrow system on my other 3AJ it has NOT FOR ROAD USE on it but is not very loud. If I had to buy another pipe I would get another arrow |
i knocked up my own '1 of kind' exhaust at the start of the year. the silencer and link pipe was originally off a yzf250 mx bike. Unused from new i picked it up cheap from a friend and made it fit with some cutting, shaping and tig welding. It actually looks quite 'factory' if i do say so myself. And sounds great. You can see the general idea of it in this pic. I would like the stainless header to go with it but the shotblasted and heatproof painted header will do for now
