Dep supply 4 x 8mm washers and I believe they fit 2 each side. One on the outside of the flange and the other on the inside of the flange i.e cylinder/washer/flange/washer/nut. Is this correct?
From what I see, there is no clamp or exhaust seal on the Dep where the silencer and front pipe join. Whereas the Yam exhaust has both fixed/welded to the silencer end. Cant be removed without destroying.
Looking at the DEP, its not got the castellated flange which contracts to make the seal on the silencer
So, do DEP sell this overpriced crap without even supplying the right bits to make it fit properly? Maybe I dropped a bit from the packaging and not noticed?
(I say overpriced considering joining any exhaust without sealing is not professional and its a fraction of the metal used, compared to a car exhaust, but costs as much).
Funny enough DEP do supply the Bung for the exhaust recirculation rubber pipe.
Spoiler
Im a bit anti tonight cos in trying to fit i dropped the tank, dented it, broke the tank plastic, snapped the fuel pipe then the front clamp rubber broke.........im well ****ed off!

DEP must include that part as well, its probably a bolt on manifold with springs to hold the expansion chamber onto it like Big-One's do. Never looked up close so not 100% certain...
I do know that DEP rust like crazy and would probably benefit from being chromed properly from new.
Yes you sure do get power gain, and Ben they sure do rust like crazy a drop of rain will rust the poxy thing, but I always clean mine exvery 2 weeks to keep it looking new!!!
we have said it a 1000 times already gut your standard exhaust and it will be better than a dep plus you have the added bonus of it not rusting or getting dinted every 5 mins
the head guys at dep aint stupid they target mostly young lads with there shiny exhausts at massive prices with promises of power gains and in reality these gains can be got for 20 quids worth of welding
ok fair enough you want something shiny for your bike !!
well have you ever consided getting your stock pipe chromed? im willing to bet that this would cost cheaper than a dep and it will never rust !!!!
dep are made from cheap ass thin metal and are not rust treated as they should be my advice would be to sell it why its still worth something b4 the dredded rot takes hold and gut your stock can:)
Anyway I answered my own question. DEP say the pipe expands during use and the join seals itself as the joint overlaps. Garage said it they never failed a DEP yet on MOT cos of a leak.
Funnny how many people here claim to have dep fitted but cant answer how they fitted it.
BAZ: Got it very cheap off Ebay.......like £90! Its cosher. It might rust, but then so does the Yamaha exhaust. No, its not possible to get it chromed cheaper than a DEP. Welding is about £30 and Chroming is £200 estimated by a company online. I dont know where else to try. The exhaust is severely rusted so requires quite some time sandblasting, chroming guy will do that but it takes time.........and of course these people want paying for the time. Fair Enough.
Anyway, I read that DEP dont rust as bad as the other choices, so conflicting stories, as per usual on the Internet. Ill take my chance witht eh DEP.

i have an 88 origional yam zorst on my bike so thats 21 years old bud,show me any aftermaket pipe that lasts that long!!!!
90 quid dosnt sound cheap to me for a worthless bit of metal which it will be in a few months
i was being generous when i said 20 quid for welding most guys here will do it for a pint and i dont know where you got that quote for chrome but you aint looking in the right places m8
you could even polish it to a chrome finish for peanuts
You can buy a one off spanny for 200 notes! Chroming is a lot cheaper than that mate. Take mine and Baz's advice and sell the Dep for a profit and gut the stock pipe.A dt will always make better power in any rev range than a dep pipe.A dep pipe sounds fast, thats about it. The deps i have seen all have a welded flange which bolt straight to the manifold.No need for washers before the pipe.
my friend has exactly same bike standard pipe gutted and i bought new dep and dep wins hands down powerband kicks in tad later than standard but when i does it leaves stock pipes also dep sounds so lovely and standard is heavy and sounds like a 4 stroke lol
as for the exhaust fittin to the head av a butchers on adrenalin pedstop site theres a pic of a dep to dt125x n that has similar fittin on end as standard to seal it to the exhaust port
