[FUbike]

HELP!!!

 

When i ride over a hump and didn't realized that the hump will hit the header.... Unfortunately, it really hit the header!!!

 

Suddenly i hear a sound "eeeeee"...coming from below... Till now there is sound.... Pls help!!!

 

Anyone encoutered before?? I don't wana get cheated by shop to change the whole thing and in fact that it could be saved w/o changing...

 

PLS help!!! The sound really freaked the hell out of me!! :(

[FUbike]

Anyway, i can feel dents on 2pipes below... i thought the sound was just air leakage but it sounds more like metal sound" eeeing"...

 

Dont know wat sound, just wana fix this asap!

 

Also, any news on the stainless header??

[Marcheline]

Maybe the header gasket is broken and the header is vibrating, thus metal against metal, causing the sound. Making a rough guess.. Haha.

[FUbike]

When i just start the bike in the morning, there's no sound yet ....

until when i'm riding a long distance and stop at junction, the engine gets very hot then i can hear the sound.... anyone care to advise me what to do???

[arsonist]

any news on the stainless steel header?

[tt6389]

i have just send a email to MC_ACCESSORIES to ask if they have a dealer representative in jb or nearest town for us to install the front header.

 

I also asked about the noise level of their full system, with the intention to see if it can pass spore inspection. US$210 for a full stainless steel system is just too incredible.

I am confident any headers which do not have catalytic converters unlike our stock pipe should give impressive gain in hp. I conclude this because i hv seen many 2B bike zooming around with stainless steel full system in jb.

 

This company maybe a OEM manufacturer for some famous jap or europe brands. I think the company do manufacturing/ export only, they not interested in selling single pieces. The solution maybe is:- 1) to ask Motorworld to import 2) Mass Order 3) Buy from a malaysia motorcycle dealer/workshop in nearby JB or Malacca or KL.

 

I would like to suggest we draw up poll to see how many people interested, then we either contact them direct or ask MW or any other local bike accessories to import directly from them. But be prepared to pay a commission fee & shipping charges to MW.

 

But if they replied that they do have a dealer in JB or nearby town, then i will go there to install.

Yes. USD210 translates to roughly $330, which is lesser than what you'd pay for a full system. But some major problems were encountered along the way:

a) Can it pass inspection?

b) The bolt-on adaptor of the end can at the back is different from our current stock ones. This was shown by s4vtec when he took a trip down. Dunno whether the sales rep got back to him regarding it.

 

If a and b can be resolved, I'm in!

Answer to (a) Can it pass inspection?

If we buy only front header & use our own endcan, i am sure it'll pass inspection.

But if we buy full system & they are the OEM manufacturer for some famous jap or europe brands, then there's no difference when it comes to passing inspection & performance boosting.

 

I am not sure what they test during inspection, if it is noise level, i can borrow my company's noise meter to test before buying. I think this can be confirm easily by calling the inspection center.

But i think all third party exhaust usually hv certificates that declare the noise level.

If we ask MW or any big motor accessories shop to import/install for us, we can ask them to do the homework & guarantee us that it will pass inspection.

 

Answer to (b) The bolt on adapter is different ....

I spoke to S4vtec on the phone a minute ago, that pic shown by him is actually his Yoshi full system. He did not visit the MC accessories company when he was in KL.

However from the website no. 2 pic i posted, they also sell front headers for S4 '03 model & earlier only.

 

Let me wait for their replies & if no response, i'll call their office number this week. The guy S4vtec spoken earlier on the phone was Michael.

 

There's still alot of homework required:-

1. Inspection criteria for exhaust system,

2. Whether they hv the right exhaust for my '05 model , preferably full system or otherwise, front header. If yes, does it meet the inspection criteria?

3. Whether they hv dealers in jb or nearest town or KL. If yes, it is easier. If no, we have to start MO & ask MW to assist.

 

Hopefully, the cheapest & fastest way to get the exhaust system is to depart spore at 4am. Reach KL by 9am. Install & come home before dark.

So the pictures at post #63 are not those of the stainless steel header from MC Accessories? Oh my.. I was misled. This MO is long overdue actually.

 

I'm interested only in the header, cos my header has some problems with a detached silencer. Heck, I'd go to KL if I have to and discard my old RUSTY header there and then! Stainless steel

actually i also dun mind buying header only. Coz it will saves me the inspection trouble. I can then buy a secondhand yoshi later.

But problem is their header is for S4 models '03 or earlier as stated. Mine is '05 model. I am puzzled is there a difference? If there is diff, it means there are also 2 kinds of Yoshi full system for '05 & '03 S4. I'll call MW to verify this. If '03 & 05 model is same system, then i can also buy the '03 front header from MC accessories.

the headers in page dun think are from Yoshi.. Headers for Yoshi are slip on, not bolt-on, and they do not use springs to hold each other together.. they fit each other nicely..

 

you also need to check if the header is a 4-1 or a 4-2-1 header.. if it's a 4-1, unlikely it'll pass inspection as the sound level will increase.. then of cuz performance too..

 

if it's a 4-2-1 header, it may pass inspection.. since everything is the same (diameter of pipe), just that it's chrome/Stainless Steel..

 

dun think you all needa worry about the bolt-on adapter, there's always Seng Kwang (not promoting for them).. all headers for S4 are the same from PB1 to Spec 3..

 

when Revo comes, you'll see everyone on the road with SS headers.. no one will bother..

 

just my 2cents..

Titanium headers?

From the pic , its a 4-2-1.

 

A full system cost only US$210, the front header only must be even cheaper. I think its a worthy long term imvestment - less maintenance & more power. I think its worth spending time to study & explore this exhaust option. For all you know, they could be the OEM maker for Yoshi or Arrow or something famous.

 

u hv a point about getting seng kwang to mod the adapter if necessary. As long as it is stainless steel, seng kwang can mod/change/repair it.

 

Only problem is having to carry the new header on the rear seat back to spore to modify. Prefer to pay cash & install right away.
