Exhaust

[corrado]

Sorry I didn't notice that there was 2 links.

As I said previously I had both of them side by side and sat one on top of the other, the differences are negligible.

Hello Jeff

Well I was inspired to get an ancillotti rather than coat the clubman but I didnt get the tino version.

The manifold went on fine with the MB gasket kit ( the AF long nuts with holes for wire didnt fit though)

It is nice and shiny.

I had to fettle the pipe bracket by cutting off one of the holes and had to remove and shave a few mm off of my aftermarket stainless stand (which was never a good fit to start with)

I scratched the pipe a bit with the bracket and have now learnt not to t-cut it...

Went for a few hours riding today and it sounds and rides fine, it feels smoother than the clubman and a bit pokier but that may just be Gear Aquisition Syndrome....

I would be interested to see how the tino version holds. The 20% claim is a bold one and would surely call for more carb tuning....

Which pipe bracket did you have to fettle and which hole did you have to cut off ? Mine fitted straight on without having to do anything.

Just this one one.



Not a big deal at all. - cut one of the eyes off and filed around the other so it fit into the casing stud nut recess.

My engine case doesn't have the extra bolt underneath for the exhaust box top, so I made sure this bracket fitted as well as it might




T-cutting the couple of scratches I made was not a good idea... it looks fine in real life.


Very happy with the exhaust so far - have been grabbing the sunshine when I can and its all good.

Why didn't you remove the case stud and replace it with a longer one,you could have used the bracket without having to cut it.

Laziness on my part paul tbh, I didnt want to split the case and order a longer stud and nuts to get the old one off as I was off for a ride the day after.. I may take your advice though if it gets snowy!

You dont have to take the chaincase side off,just double nut the stud and remove it.I've used threaded rod instead of a stud from b&q and cut it down to the right size.

You can also use an M6 grub screw which fits with an Allen key. Saves all the messing with double nutting.

Thats a good idea.

Can't take credit for it, Darrell Taylor sells them as a kit, that's where I saw it first.
