MMorgan Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 (edited) Hi gents, Hope you're all doing well. In my absence I have recently re-aquired my old b12. The last owner didn't exactly treat her well so I'm striping it to tidy up (and try not to fuck it off and just fit bits to the GSX...) However I cannot for the life of me remember what these buggers are called. The system I believe is an old Micron sprung system which was fitted to a GSXR11 at some point, but these lil bitters need replacing along with the flanges. Any ideas where to get new one's? Any help greatly appreciated. -M Edited January 11, 2023 by MMorgan Quote Link to comment

rodneya Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Those will be pipe specific as it has to be a really good fit to the rest of the pipe Quote Link to comment
Jdeac Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Post some dimensions and I'll check Quote Link to comment

The more I look at em, I might be alright to still use these as after a clean up they aren't bad, just the flanges/clamps are naff. Quote Link to comment

Jdeac Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 The ones I pictured are similar. The bolt flange seems to be steel and the rest stainless. I hit one with a flap wheel and they clean up. But I would imagine they would end up the same. Unless painted etc. Or have some lazer cut out of stainless. Quote Link to comment

I went at the system with raceglaze and harpic and turned out well. Ive taken the flanges/clamps to a local engineer down the road to make me some new ones so they'll be a few days and then she'll go back on. Spigots (we'll call them that) turned out ok. One or two have it worse but all solid enough to reuse. Turned out to be the best pissed Eblag purchase I ever made all those years ago. Think I paid like 150 for this system. Only downside so far is the stubby can I have is pharked and I cannot find a slip on for a 63/64mm outlet anywhere. May just get it resleved and repaired as its jetted to this system and sounds lovely. 1 Quote Link to comment
dago Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Got mine from here https://www.spengineering.co.uk/slip-on-exhausts/page/2/ The cans without the size listed give you a choice of inlet sizes Quote Link to comment
davecara Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 (edited) Its a Micron System, so you're stuck with the 63mm inlet. Plenty of cans about though, I ended up with 4 or 5 when I put my slingshot together, ended up giving them away! Stick a wanted ad up. Someone will have one for you Edited January 14, 2023 by davecara Quote Link to comment

MMorgan Posted January 18, 2023 Author Share Posted January 18, 2023 A local engineer made me new stainless clamps with spring holes and the new bolts, gaskets and springs turned up same time so needless to say I fucking booted it home! She'll be back to full beans this weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment
