Arrow Slip-on Question

[holy666diver_imp]

So I just installed the Arrow Slipon on my 2014 cb.

Anyone who has one I have a question. When I slipped it onto the headers there was about a 2cm gap between the end of the slip on and the end of the header connector. Meaning it didn't slip on 100% of the length of the header connector. There's no room for air to get in just curious is this is normal. With the clamp tightened I highly doubt any leaks would occur. If I do slip it on !00% of the length the mounting bolt does not align properly

My previous slipon the Yoshimure RS3 fit the entire length of the connector.

you have both pipes, maeasure the length of the connector pipe and see if the arrow is shorter.

You know what I think I installed the arrow on the outside of the exhaust bracket instead of the inside... I'll re-install tonight see if that fixes it

I installed the arrow exhaust on the back end of the bracket and now the exhaust fully fits. I fully tightened the bolt to the bike and tightened the clamp to the header. There seems to be a little bit of movement now even with the bolts fully tightened. Not enough to do any damage but is a little movement back and forth normal? Anyone with an arrow chime in?

See the movement? Could this be the clamp to the header is not getting tight enough? I am confused the previous exhaust I had did not move this much.

*MOD you can move this to "mechanical / Technical"

it looks like the movement is coming at the peg bracket mounting location to me. Is it rubber mounted?

All the stock hardware. Bolt and a rubber grommet inside. It's fully tightened.

The reason I asked, at the 14-18 second mark you can clearly see the peg mounting bolt moving up and down as you wiggle the pipe.

It's as tight as it gets. I'll strip it if I go any tighter. I can try adding another washer see if it tightens up.

Or just not worry about it. It's not going to fall off. Does it leak at the joint?

Not sure if it's leaking how would I test that?

 

[the Ferret]

Listen for a leak, or put some soapy water around joint and see if it blows bubbles

Holy,

I have an Arrow and it doesn't move that much. It seems like you may be missing the collar (No. 11 in the pic) that prevents that movement.

Yes! I am missing that piece! Snap what site is that on?

Am I supposed to use the gasket? I could get that to fit.

I don't remember a gasket... If it's there, it never came out when I took off the factory muffler or when I had the headers finished.

 

[holy666diver_imp]

I fixed it! Thanks everyone for the help.

I has the insert I had everything I needed just used the wrong exhaust clamp... I had to torque the new down a bit and now it's solid as a rock. I used my yoshimura clamp which maxed out before it was tight enough. Should be good now!

 

[the Ferret]

good deal!
