Fmf pipe install

Post by JoKDX220r »

Hi all,

I wonder if it's normal, every times I install my FMF Rev Pipe, the pipe "end" didn't go all the way into the cylinder hole... it stop just after the second o-ring before the "step". The RH side of the pipe go further then the LH side..

Does a bend it the pipe I didn't notice can explain that or it is normal ?

Thank you!!

Sometimes you have to just wiggle the pipe side to side to get the seals to go in right. I have had to push some pipes a bit harder in the past!

Thanks Luke for your answer, so the pipe should go all the way "in" ?

Got any dents in the pipe? If so it's probably a tad bent. If it doesn't look like it's fitting correctly, it probably isn't.

I removed the pipe and silencer again, take measurements and it can't fit any better... The hole in the cylinder is approx : 15mm deep and the pipe to the "step" is around 25-30mm.
Same thing with the Fmf woods pipe.
I made some tests with my backup cylinder that also show that the pipe can't go any further.

It doesn't look like it's fitting correctly, but it is :cool:

Thank you for your anwsers !
