Hi all Quick question, if I wanted to make my 04 rsv factory a single exhaust is it as simple as fitting a gen 1 collector?? Is there any down falls to one silencer if the job can be done? Cheers in advance

| Potentially there could be clearance issues due to the different swing arm design, don't know anyone who has done it to say. The problem you will 100% have to address is that the header flanges on the gen 2 are 4 bolt and the gen 1 is 3 bolt. So you will need to cut them off the gen 2 and weld onto the gen 1 headers |

Aprilia changed the system to twin cans to allow the engine to breath to suit the gen2 better flowing heads bigger throttle bodies etc etc So if you go to a single can ensure you carry out the mods like my modded headers (redratbike modded collector) to regain the performance you’d lose with a single can system It’s been done before as said it’s not a straight swap from a gen1 part , so maybe take gen 2 collector and chop of where the 2 pipes split and graft in a gen1 piece for the single linkpipe What’s your reasoning for it ???

I came off my track bike at Cadwell a couple of weeks back.It slid down the track on the left hand side and the lhs can is knackered. I can't find a direct replacement so my thinking was to go single pipe

I've got a few sets of stock cans if they are any good to you? ------------- I started out with nothing and I've still got most of it left |

Thanks for the offer but I would prefer an aftermarket. It has Arrows on at the moment, I just need to decide which route to go down. Cheers

Not sure the curve in the rear cylinder header is ideal. It’s a bit kinked to get the radius tighter.
