Stock Header Question

[Forge]

What is the outside diameter on the 1400's stock header where the muffler attaches? I'm thinking of picking up a set of stock headers and using stainless pipe to make my own longer drag pipes. I want to use 2" pipe because I already have the 1&7/8" OD Big City QQ baffles in my Cobra pipes and want to use them in the long drags.

I can't help here, maybe Bronx can measure one of his and let you know. On the 800 it is 39 mm but I don't know about the 1400.

My headers measure exactly 2" but that is just in front of the header-to-muffler shield. The pipe does slightly narrow as it goes to the muffler, but I can't get in there to take a measurement due to the shield. My guess is that its about 1/8" less (1 7/8")

Gimme a minute and i'll check for ya. Just ate and now stuffed... Gotta let it settle. Lol.

About 1 3/4" right where the muffler slips onto header.
About 1 13/16" rithe where the ring is before pipe begins to go to 2".

Ok. So that sounds like I could make straight 2" chromed or stainless pipes work for long straight cut drag pipes on both sides. I have the BCT QQ baffles I want to insert and use in the pipes.

I used 2 inch chrome tailpipe extensions for drag pipes. They were 24in. Long, had to cut the one about 2 inches shorter than the other( the stock headers mount aren't even). And 1in. slits and a small notch. The slits help them slide on to the stock headers (50mm) I believe.. if you feel under the header before the stock muffler there's what feels like mini O2 bung that's plugged off.. that's why you need the notch.. I just cut two slits where the "bung" is then broke it off with pliars to make the notch. And two chrome 2in clamps and baffles and your good to go. I used Smartpartz Hard Kore quiet baffles. Then I drilled 6 1/8 holes around the edge of the baffles to "tune them" to the sound I wanted.

Thanks, that's what I'm thinking of doing, but I am having trouble finding longer lengths of chrome pipe. I want to make mine long like the Cruiser Magic Nasty Twins and extend them to maybe just behind the rear wheel. I like the long drag pipe look.

Did you get another set of headers yet? Plan to wrap or no?

I actually got a great deal on a like new OEM exhaust system. I considered installing the OEM system and drilling the baffles for sound, but I really like the long straight drag pipe look like the nasty twins. I would rather not wrap. If I was going to wrap or maybe use high heat engine paint, then I would just use regular exhaust pipe.

Okay. Gotcha.
