I installed the Alba pipe kit last night. LOUD!!

Anyway, has anyone else installed this pipe? How did you mount to the frame? It appears to bolt right up, but I can't remove the bushings from the stock exhaust and it looks like it needs that gap.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

 

hmf is the same way bolt s right to the frame too.

 

Did you have to use some kind of spacer or is it metal to metal on the frame?

Thanks.

 

On mine there was no spacer, just metal to metal.

 

mine too

Loud is right, @ idle thay R about 100dbs, & any little rap on the gas and your up into the 120db range....

But dam does it sound good LOL.

Z400inFresno did Alba offer you a quiet core for it??????

& if it came with a spark arrester good luck with that. thay dont last long.....Pic

Butcher - Not sure about the spark arrestor or quiet core. Doubtful. I don't do any fireroad type riding, only dunes, so I'm not concerned with a spark arrestor.

How hot does that pipe get without the stock guard? I noticed it gets hot fast, but haven't ridden it yet.

 

Not to sure on that...Ill check how hot mine gets after work....

But I did not put the stock guard back on.

& have had no problems with it...

I was a little worried a few weeks ago...

got on the Z with shorts on, for a small Ride around the cabin.

You can feel the heat off of it lol.But its fine without that guard...@ least for me....

 

There was a big difference when I took my heat shield off. It just pours off.

Couple weeks ago when I went to Silver Lake I rode in shorts the entire time. Burnt myself in the same spot twice, ouch! But it's nothing you can't deal with. I'm used to it now. I rode a YFZ450 while I was there and that thing gave off more heat with a heatshield than mine did w/o.

 

Ok I just did a little test on the Z...

& Holy Hot Pipe.....its Around 325 were that Stock guard should go

QuadN00b I can see why you got it twice,[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] That had to hurt Bud....
