Athena silencer pipe...ballache!!

supermotard69 · DTR Respected Member

there now both male connections where as the the old silencer was female and the pipe diamiter is exactly the same it all bolts up fine but the athena tail pipe is longer also so i either need too chop down my athena or chop down my standard expansion only by an inch or so,because they dont slot together then that way i geuss i could use a peice of coke can to join it together in place its just id rather not chop either of them but it seems to be the only way..hence its a ballache..people suggested abit of rubber hose,but even rad hose i think the dtx could melt them expansion chambers get stupidly hot,but thanks for the ideas..anymore gents ? i would appreciate the input

dont fit together in what way ? pipes to far apart ? - dont fit inside each other ? dont line up ?

maybe join them with a rubber and couple clips if possible

only other option would be cutting and welding extra size pipe on

not sure who said rad hose ? you can get actual pipe to xpany rubbers I posted ebay link above like so .

coke cans ect a no more than alloy tin foil and soon burn throu or overheat

this one looks the best but messure up first

Yeah. Just mod it mate. Use your imagination. If they fit inside each other bur don't line up with the brackets then nust make an extension bracket.

I'm guessing they're the same size diameter so they don't slide together? Just cut a few inches off weld a larger diameter steel tube on to it, job done. Difficult to say without knowing what's wrong, always a way round it though ;)

from what I've heard they should fit :O
But I remember it said that they would fit both Rs and RE/X on all the dealers sites, but the REs and X have a slight bit different size on the exhausts so maybe that's why.

I don't think they can be that much different, so you should probably be able to mod it quite easy

Nah don't use radiator hose. Use an actual joining rubber.

thing is tho ive had friends who have used those rubbers before and they've melted but its worth a shot,thanks for the link "MDK" it will only be sealing like a 1mm gap so it should be fine,where as my friends were sealing like inch gaps haha!!!

they do matey, well on the newer ones they do

Jace · DTR Respected Member

id think it will need it,need to machine to some prety good tolerences and chrome plate thickness to guarantee a gas tight seal,where as rubber will stretch a bit and give a bit of leeway!

Does yours blow without it reef my re with full dep is fine without it need it when i put my standard front on tho

zander · DTR Senior Member

Stick a larger pipe ontop of both pipes instead of using joining rubber, then it won't melt ;)

Jace · DTR Respected Member

Dep pipe fitted,it has like a double thicknes lip at tailpipe end that end can slots into didnt use the rubber,its tottaly transformed bike gone from strugling to get 60 to flying and hitting the speed limit,well chuffed!
