axl Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 Exactly that!, just how do you get these fekers off!!......... And another thing, you either have one or another right!, well my end can has an Akrapovic badge on it but a Micron "end" on it :?. But the 3 Allen bolts that hold it on 1 of them is rounded :evil:, but the first time the mate saw/heard it "oh get the wadding out of that, it's chocking it to fuck, you can hear it when you rev it". I said he talking bollocks, he said ok them but you take the wadding out and you'll see the diffirence, is he right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Alex Posted June 4, 2004 Admin Share Posted June 4, 2004 Not sure on what bolt you are talking about as then i could think about the amount of space you have to do it. If you can get an angle grinder there, buy a thin disk and cut a slot in it, then you can use a large screwdriver to unscrew it. If that fails it is possible to do the same with a dremel but it will take you hours :shock: But yes i have done it with hundreds of bits later Or the easiest way if you know someone who can weld, is to weld a nut onto the end via the hole in the middle then you can just stick a socket on. I hate allen head bolts as there is always someone before you who has used cheap allen keys which dont fit properly :evil: I always change any bolt that i can find if it even looks like its damaged, far easier in the long run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axl Posted June 4, 2004 Author Share Posted June 4, 2004 I'd thought of all these but it's a bastard getting "into it", but I see what you mean about welding a nut, fekn good idea that :wink:. Yea I know what you mean about peeps before you using Allen's that dont fit right, thats exactly what's happened :evil:. It's the 3 bolts that hold the "spout" at the end on.

Admin Alex Posted June 4, 2004 Admin Share Posted June 4, 2004 And even easier drill them out and rivet them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axl Posted June 4, 2004 Author Share Posted June 4, 2004 Is the wadding in the can "strangling" the power?, 2 mates seem to think so, either that or they just want to have it louder. Personaly I think they just just want it louder, to say "see, he believe's what we say", I think there talking shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Alex Posted June 4, 2004 Admin Share Posted June 4, 2004 If its a race can you will be able to see straight through it to see if any wadding is entering the main pipe restricting the flow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axl Posted June 4, 2004 Author Share Posted June 4, 2004 Yea I can see straight through it but there's wadding in it too. I got the wadding out tonight but to be honest I dont notice any diffirence at all!. It's a bit more noisier but thats it, should I just put it back in, 2 mates reckoned the wadding was strangling the power, but it's me who's riding it not them!!. And personally I dont feel any change apart from like I say some more noize, it's not deffining loud just a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
