Anyone rate the Leo Vince exhaust ?? looking at a decent second hand full system to get more grunt out of the WRF, but havn't heard much about them.

Also is it just simply remove the old system, put he new one on? meaning somone like myself with half assed mechanical skills could do it quite easily??

looked at it online found a dyno but there is sweet f/a differnce in power by the looks. from memory it was mostly mid range when you are probably looking for top or bottom. fmf is the way to go i think -cant find dyno but heard good things on thumpertalk the q4 or powerbomb i think but most fit a yzf header though????

Was that for a full system or slip on ?? This guy thats selling it reckons it gave him heaps more grunt and he reckons he didn't have to rejet, i thought rejetting would be a definite !! Not sure wether to believe this fella or not now.

Only problem is, as always I'm limited to what I can spend so can't afford a new system, so am limited to what I can find second hand on trade me etc, not many exhausts for the WRF's damn it !!

Why cant you us a YZF exhaust system ?.

Mate has YZF muffler & FMF megabomb header ( powerbomb's go good on YZF's not sure about WRF's ) & it lights up good.

How much are you wanting to spend?
full system or just the muffler?

And now for my next dumb question.....whats involved in putting YZF header on the WRF, bike shop type job??

Basically seen a full Leo Vince system on trade me, three hundy no reserve, didn't really want to go over four hundy if possible.

no need for the bike shop just about any idiot can change a header pipe very simple, just buy it and bolt on.
Although unless you can find someone wanting to sell a 2nd hand one, I would say a new YZF header wouldnt be cheap as the standard parts like that really seem to be cheap.

Buy that Leo Vince thats cheap if its in good nick.

Brilliant, I am one of those idiots so should manage just fine to fit it.

Yeah keen on the Leo Vince, just hope no one else bids on it and should get myself a bargain.

Don't bolt the header up tight without the muffler being on bike. Good manifold to header seal important (can cause backfiring on decell) so get new gasket if it's rough looking. Leave the header loose enough to rotate into correct position to align with muffler. Once all bolts in, Give it all a bit of a wriggle round before tightening everything so no undue tension anywhere. They don't always fit perfectly though.
