A most excellent idea bacardi23. and thanks everyone for all your input and ideas. of 11 manufacturers I think I've narrowed it down to 2. the Arrow 72034PD Stainless and the Marving Y/AAA/58/BC or EDR/27/NC. I'm still deciding so I'm going to post another thread and try to get some reviews in genereal, I've compiled some info in the link below.

I've got a Leo Vince X3 laying around, My dad got it with his KTM Lc 4 640 but it actually reduces the performance, so he put the stock exhaust back on which he got with the bike aswell.

No I'm looking for a new exhaust for my 3AJ tenere and I must say the Leo Vince looks quite good on it. The original damper is completely rusted so it really needs to be replaced. I think I can make the Leo Vince fit, but I do need to make a piece of pipe to connect it to the headers. I will also have to replace the headers because it is not such a good idea to connect the stainless damper to mild steel headers. And the headers are pretty rusted as well.

Did anyone fit a Leo Vince x3 to a 3AJ? If so how did you connect it to the headers (pictures maybe)? And where could I get a set of stainless steel headers for the bike?

for the connection between header and silencer, look in Leovince X3 website, there are all technical drawings.

For the headers, original yamaha header from TTR600 are stainless and sometimes you find them on ebay for 50\70 euros, if your budget is higher and want something NICE you can buy headers from kedo (KEDO - Performance Products)

Thanks, I'll check the leo vince website for info. I also found the Kedo website and have ordered stuff from them before and I think they are very well priced, certainly cheaper than original yamaha stuff.

I didn't know the headers for the tt600 would also fit the xt600. If so this gives me more to search for.

Thanks

Got one cheap NZ$50 to replace the rust bucket on my 96 xt600e.

It will fit, but needs a bit of work.

1) At rear its a bit long. either need to move plate and indicators or shorten end can by a couple of inches.

2) Need small bracket to mount up to frame at top

3) Keeps bolt onto frame by footpeg.

4) Is longer than standard at the front. Will need to cut a couple of inches off headers for nice match.

Hi folks,

I need some help picking the right exhaust for an 02 4PT. Mine currently has a Zorstec system but the pipes are too wide to allow me to fit my pannier rack.

I need something that fits, that has pipes the same diameter as standard, that isn't stupidly loud or stupidly expensive.

The Motad downpipes and Arrow can seems to be a popular choice. Can anyone tell me the diameter of the pipe (specifically the section running past the pillion footpeg mounting bracket).

The only Arrow can I can find on line states it's for 95 - 01. Is it still going to fit an 02?

Cheers.

Never mind, I've answered my own question and have just ordered the Motad / Arrow combo.

Hope it fits!!

Anyone wanna buy a Zorstec? (No, I've never heard of 'em either...)

Anyway, soon to be for sale a complete stainless steel Zorstec system. It's in very good condition, sounds very meaty. Some might say offensive, but it puts a grin on your face if you're secretly a bit of a hooligan.

Oh sod it, back to square one. Didn't read the thread properly and now realise that the Arrow can is not road legal.

Can anyone suggest a legal, currently available alternative?

"wr450 or yzf450"
This is real good info to know - especially in the USA where aftermarket parts for the XT600E are very hard to come by. Does anyone know what other bike exhausts can fit the 50mm header pipe (or better yet, replace the whole system)? I already see that the TTR600 could work, but there are many other brands that have a dual-header setup like the XT600E (e.g., KLR650) and have much better aftermarket (or OEM replacement part) support here in the USA.

Re: bacardi23

Not sure what year that 450 exhaust is off. Was cheap - didn't ask many questions. Sorry can't be of more help.

Did you get a Quill system? I've also got an 03 XT & would appreciate feedback from anyone who's fitted a Quill system (& which specific model).

Thanks
