I have been following the various threads on using the (lower cost) eBay exhaust pipe and silencer set up which people have been using on their TT 250s. I understand there are several issues which need to be overcome to make the pipe fit properly and was wondering if there have been any new alternatives.

The issues presented so far include the following:

1) the need to drill out the holes in the mounting flange due to the wider bolt placement on the TT250.

2) the potential interference of the new header pipe with the clutch arm.

3) the potential interference of the up sweep of the header pipe with the bottom of the air box.

4) the need to fabricate and attach a bracket for the rear-most attachment point of the silencer.


Given these concerns I was wondering if anyone has come across more of a "bolt on" application for something else which exists in the marketplace for the TT 250 – despite the fact it may be a higher cost option.

Otherwise, has anyone tried to bend the aftermarket pipe to clearance those issues without a mandrel bending set up? My concern is that it might kink the pipe?

thank you in advance for the input.
