    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Aftermarket exhaust won't fit...

So I bought a MAC exhaust from a GSR member, the headers line up and go into place. The issue I'm having is that the exhaust flanges won't go up against the motor, by about a half inch! I wish I had pictures but the pipe ends seem too long for the exhaust ports. Why is this? Am I supposed to use new bolts and let the flanges bolt on from that distance?:confused:
 
You could use longer bolts and pick up some kind of spacers from Home Depot or that type store. Maybe not ideal but probably okay.
 
contact the GSR member you bought it from and ask him how he managed to fit it. you may be making a silly mistake or he may have taken you for a ride by selling you the wrong pipe

I think this is normal for aftermarket pipes. Here is a pic of what my Vance & Hines looks like on the GS. My last Honda had bassani pipes that were the same way. You probably just need longer bolts that would normally come with the exhaust but since it's used they may not have been included.

Okay, this is what it about looks like. I trust the member I bought it from, no way he took me for a ride. Thanks a lot Arkmage, this really helps! (I'm under pressure to move it out by tomorrow by my boss while I'm renovating my basement, yadayadayada)
 
thats the way it is with the Mac headers on both of mine.
