clamp between expansion chamber and silencer
I am having a hard time finding this item in the aftermarket. The only ones I have found are shiny expensive ones. We all know you won't be able to see it. Would a piece of heater hose work or would there be too much heat for it. The rubber is boken on mine and the factory one is $20 which is a little high in my opinon.

Not yet I don't.Mr. Wibbens wrote:No hose, just silicone, Capisce?
So you put silicone over the muffler end and the silencer slides over the silicone and seals the thing.
And next time you pull it off, you scrape the silicone off both parts and do it again.
Or am I still too dumb to figure this out?
And why are you doing this rather than use the typical hose and clamps?

I also have a FMF set up, I am confused about
I don't know what clamp you are refering too, mine (05 200) only had the rubber piece that covers the junction, is this what you calling clamp?
If you are refering to the "male-female" connection, I believe the pipe end goes inside the silencer end. I siliconed the pipe end, installed the rubber piece on the silencer end then fitted everything together on the bike.there is a gap between the silencer and pipe and one will not fit over the other

I also failed to mention that my bike is a 1993 200cc. I just checked and my silencer will slide over the expansion chamber end but I don't know if the holes on the silencer will line up because I will have to slide the silencer forward on to the head pipe. If you get my drift. Also even if you use silicone you still have to have something to hold the two together because I don't think silicone would be enough. It may seal but it has little holding strength.

don't know about 93 but the silicone and rubber part are just there (as far as I know) to seal both ends and not having spooge dripping all over the place.
If you are saying the pipe and silencer don't line up, you may have to persuade them...
I think I had to drill a bigger hole on the silencer on mine to make it line up with the mounting hole on the bike

I reckon slipping a piece of rubber hose on and off is alot easier (and less messy) than pasteing silicon all over the joint. Just my 2c.
BTW I use zipties to keep it in place even though it doesn't need em.

I don't know about less messy
Smear a little on during assembly, and it peals right off when you are ready to repack
Not much mess and it seals much better than the hose

Really ?!? Stock hose maybe ?!?Mr. Wibbens wrote:it seals much better than the hose
I would have thought that a piece of rubber hose would be a stronger seal than silicon. To each their own though....
