attackcat109 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I live with my folks while going to uni so I don't have the space or the tools to actually break down the OEM exhaust and slip on the m4 myself, so I was wondering if you guys had taken your bikes to shops to get this done. How much did it cost to have them install just the exhaust? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much did it cost to have them install just the exhaust? If you've got room to park it there's room to work on it. You could rent or borrow angle grinder from a buddy or buy one from harbor freight for like 20$ Taking the oem off and mounting a new is super easy. Buying the tool and wheels at harbor freight will be cheaper than any shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simbadc650 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I parked on a dark alley way, where the rats are the size of elephant hoofs, the sound of the wind howling in the distance, and with the 40 pocket lighters shined the path to installing my exhaust.

caliesv Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Garage here. You really dont need much room. If you got the tools, you can do it on the sidewalk too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
attackcat109 Posted August 23, 2016 Author Share Posted August 23, 2016 Weird to think of doing it on the sidewalk, but I guess that would be the only place. As far as room to park, room to work, it doesn't really apply as I part in the tiniest of spots: about a 2 foot section with barely enough room to get on and off between a porsche and a beemer. I'll look into it thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simbadc650 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Do it in the living room, get her done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
attackcat109 Posted August 25, 2016 Author Share Posted August 25, 2016 Asked them about the living room - no go. And my family is a group of 10 people; the garage is full of shit that my sister and mom refuse to throw away. So I can't do it in the garage, but I guess sidewalk isn't too bad. Now I just got to get my books for the semester, see what I have left over and get started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member ch3rryghost Posted August 25, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted August 25, 2016 Here, if you're in SD, come by and I can help, DON'T pay a shop to do it. It's SO incredibly easy. I think I had my OEM system on, and full Akra Ti on w/in 30 mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Mr.Puss Posted August 26, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted August 26, 2016 There we go! @ch3rryghost above and beyond! Nice. I was gonna say, you'd spend far less money on a simple basic socket set (you'll definitely want one for any tinkering on this bike anyway) than you would wasting it at a garage. It really only takes 20+/- minutes. Space required is minimal. Crush your enemies. See them driven before you. Hear the lamentations of their women. Fuss Life.

Premium Member rowdy Posted August 26, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted August 26, 2016 So is it a slip-on or complete system? A complete system is cake and can be done by (almost) anyone with a set of metric sockets. A slip-on is a little more work, and definitely requires a someone at a higher level of competency (and with more tools). Why can't left turners see us?

attackcat109 Posted August 26, 2016 Author Share Posted August 26, 2016 it is a m4 slip on. "a someone at a higher level of competency" - and while I don't doubt my competency, I have made mistakes (like ruining my last oil filter on my 2nd most recent change) so I sometimes get a little worried, but with ch3rryghost, I hope this will go smoothly.

Just pointing out that it isn't on the same "beard scale" (if you've seen the Revzilla reviews). Why can't left turners see us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member ch3rryghost Posted August 26, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted August 26, 2016 Alright no worries, you're close, I'm in South Park. Haha, no way am I a master mechanic but with things like exhaust systems they're always pretty straight forward. Everything on a motorcycle just seems vastly easier than working on than cars, especially my latest car; don't miss that thing at all. Even the exhaust work on that took me and my friend who is a mechanic 4+ hrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
