Er... unless you plan to take out the whole exhaust and spray, it's just a simple job.

 

Get yourself the finest sandpaper and a can of high temp spray.

 

sand away the area where you wish to spray till it's smooth.

 

Use a newspaper with one hand to shield those areas where you don't want to paint to be sprayed onto. And the other hand to spray your paint.

 

Whoala! Your new exchaust is back in 5-10 mins.

 

yeah

it is easy

u wan full system or exhaust only? yoshi tri oval only have full system while the rest have exhaust sold seperately. there is no akra for s4. there are leo v and gpr for s4. i prefer micron.

[Guest enHANZed]

I post this topic because there have been countless people PM-ing me regarding how i installed a PB1 header into my previous Spec 1 ( which i sold a long time ago).

 

 

So ...for the benefit of the current Super 4 riders who want a full system look at a fraction of a price ... look here .

 

Step 1

----------

 

The stuff u need is obviously the PB1 headers , to get it ....look for seng kwang or garage sales or the scrap yard .

 

step 2

----------

 

Head down to seng kwang and ask them to fabricate it for you , they should be very good at it now cause i was told i was the 2nd one to do it that time so the quality wasn't tat good . ( it'll cost you around $ 300, include trade in old exhaust) . After that head down to ur fav. bike shop for a change of exhaust headers . ( check out the cost in the price list thread)

 

 

step 3

--------

 

Your new shiny headers now fit the stock or the yoshi/micron/gpr exhaust . but take note that mine leaked slightly at the headers area cause the PB1 does not fit exactly into a spec 1 . seng kwang should have should the problems now .

 

 

FAQ

-----

 

Q) is it LTA Compliant ?

 

A) mine has passed inspection with a yoshi on .

 

 

Q) how does it sound like ?

 

A) Heavenly .... especially when Vtec opens ...pure bliss

 

 

Q) has performance or FC improved ?

 

A) i cant tell cause after i did that mod i change to dynojet and went for a dyno run ...there was a marked increase in HP. as for FC ....i cant really remember but its not too bad .
