Headers

[Delboy777]

Am i correct in thinking that 2006-2009 Remus or any other make of headers would fit my 2013 GSA and the only thing i would need to do is do away with the pipe that replaced the flappy valve thingy and then my can would fit straight on ? Any problems with the Lambda sensors and the GSA engine bars ?

You would need a new link pipe to connect the old style headers to the new style can without the valve.

You can pick up old style silencer cans for 2p to fit with older style aftermarket headers.

The exhaust systems are exactly the same in terms of mountings and lambda points except the twin cam has the flappy valve slotted in the middle. Chuck that and an earlier system just slots on.

Ok Bendy, seems like too much hastle since i have already fitted a new Can and done away with the flappy valve thingy. It was just a thought before i have the PC V fitted and the bike set up on the Dyno. Not looking for anything other than smooth fueling lower down the revs to get rid of the very slight jerky throttle response.

Fair enough though I found the bike had more low and mid range pull with NoCat headers. Initially I had a Remus set stainless set with the standard can. They look great with a really nice brassy patina and really improve the engine breathing. Then I found an Akraprovic Ti system with stacked cans so I swapped the lot and sold the Remus. It's not a difficult job.

Sorting out the fuelling further improves the bottom end and takes out the mid range torque dip. I now have useful power from under 2000 revs, but whiles its handy to have, I avoid using it below 2,500 revs, because I feel that those 600cc pistons can give the engine bottom end quite a bashing.
