Exhaust split collars

(1/2) > >>

Greg65:
Hi guys.

I am about to get my first 400 next week. Now it needs a new exhaust system as the collector box is shot and it has an odd silencer and poor chrome on the down pipes. So I was intending to put a full replacement in from the Silver guys. Now my question is should the split collars be replaced as well or are they subject to condition? I will post pictures once I get the bike but it's a very low mileage model from Holland so need to get an MOT before I can register it. Thanks.

It depends greg whether its a show bike or a daily/once a week hack.they are quite expensive,so if it was me id clean the rust off and spray them up with some vht silver spray

Greg65:
I am not talking about the finned clamps at £25+ vat each! but the split collar pairs at £7.50 that go around the pipes before the finned collar clamps them along with the gasket.

Bryanj:
Only replace if knackerd

Thanks for the info guys. I found a good thread on the state side forum which answered all and more, must remember to check it next time, cheers.
