Exhaust link pipe flairing

[DrDonnyBrago]

Hi, does anyone know if st/st link pipes can be flared to fit slightly larger diameter downpipes and vice versa? Approx how much would flaring a pipe a few mm cost anyway?

Is it worth doing or are there better ways (i.e. adaptors) that are available? How much are these?

Pretty sure itchy flared out his linkpipe to fit a larger can for his cbr. Maybe drop him a PM?

What do you call a few millimetres? One or two and you can buy pipe flaring kits for around £20. https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330362590075&ssPageName=ADME:B:WNASIF:GB:1123 . They can be hard work.

Another option is to take it to an exhaust place, they should be able to sort it out.

Any bigger than a couple of mill and you can get adaptors for around the same price.

I had my stainless 3" pipe swaged out on a machine locally, cost me a tenner. The machines are very expensive, so it was a fair price I think.

Basically I have picked up a set of used st/st CBR headers for £50, havent seen them yet though so they might not be a perfect fit on my current link pipe. As I havent yet paid for them I am bringing my exhaust along to check for fit.

I was just wondering if it would still be worth buying them if they didnt fit, for a tenner or so I think I will .

I'm hoping that they fit well of course .

Thanks all.
