2012 Akrapovic exhaust system help needed

Hi All I wonder if someone could help please.

I've finally got round to fitting my Akrapovic system & it doesn't look like its going to fit I have the S-H10R7-TC-1 system.

Honda CBR 1000 RR S-H10R7-TC Racing Line (Carbon) - Akrapovi

The headers fit and look ok but when I try and put the link pipe on it doesn't want to line up. Looking at the labelling on the packaging the link pipe says 08-10 and the headers say 09-12 does anyone know if they are different?







Any help would be much appreciated..
Thanks

Arthurbikemad may be able to help you there Chris. He does love an akrapovic or 2.

 

I would love this but can't afford one ,

 

Can't remember what bits came with mine but it was a bit of a sod to line up and fit, same system also for the 2012.

Thanks Colin... From those pics it looks correct, I don't know any difference tbh, when you have it connected up and the headers cross over how far out is it, are you fitting it all loose with no springs etc? Like MrB says they tend to take some lining up but in my experience with them you can fiddle round and then they just slot into place...

 

The bits do look the same as mine and I can't see there would be much difference between the model years anyway. My headers touched the belly pan melting some of it due to the much larger diameter pipe work as well.

 

Thanks guys.
I'm fitting it all lose the headers are not crossing over.. I'll pop out to the garage and take a couple more shots of the headers
Be back in a mo..

looking at this looks like it should fit

 

Well that 5 minutes in the garage ended up being an hour... But I'm well chuffed it was the "the headers cross over" comment that got me thinking.
Mine weren't crossing over now they are and well they fit!!
Thanks people, Might owe you a beer I think! You've saved me hours of swearing in the cold!!



I'll post a couple of pictures tomorrow when it's finishedhttp://1000rr.co.uk/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Thanks Ozz

 

Thought so, it's an odd routing but who's to argue with Igor....

 

Thanks for the help arthurbikemad! It's getting a bit nippy out there now so I'll get back out there in the morning and finish it off.

 

Your not wrong!!!! Im on standby for the spring.................

 

Well I managed to get out in the garage tonight and get the zaust finished off....


Sounds awsome.... just ticking over with a few little blips. Ticks over OK so will have to see what the fuelling is like when I get out on it.
Just the fiddly task of getting the fairings back on now then a good clean.
Once I've got it all back together I want to make a heat shield up to finish it off..

Fuelling has been fine for me but no doubt a PC would make it even better.

 

I'd be inclined to get the Bike fully warmed up first and treble check for exhaust leaks BEFORE you put the fairing back on?


Sods law and all that!

 

yep I ran the bike up last night, until the fan came on. I'll do the same again and check the bolts. Therese no way I want to take the fairing off again in a hurry...

 

How's the idle with akra full system without baffle? Does it surge?

 

I haven't had any problems,although I have a PCV. I did an ECU reset before I ran the bike too, I think it's meant to help.

Saying all that I have the noise killer in, I felt lost power without. I have a geniric map for system + filter loaded into PCV, but I'll get a map for both noise killer in and out when I get it custom mapped.

 

could i pester you for a picture of how your end can is mounted??

My end can was scraping the ground at full lean on track recently, i want to make sure that the previous owner has fitted it properly and make sure the spacers/washers are in the right position.
