No Mike it was the thread by that crazy Greek (PIR I think ?) fella that has inspired him to do this!
I was over at his place yesterday he has the front pipes & can fitted allready.
He's used a can & link pipe off of a 4XV/5JJ R1 which kind of looks odd & O.K in a strange way ?
He seems to think it will run O.K or exactly the same due to the EXUP valve opening up at the same time as it would with the old headers (the EXUP valves are stacked instead of being side by side on the 5PW). Im not 100% certain on all of this as I recall Ivan mentioning something about the length of the headers being quite crucial on these engines ?
Anyhows IF I remember I will take my camera with me next time im over there, & i'll put some pics up of what it looks like and also what was required to fit them (He did not have to make a new front engine mount).
Chitsu.
P.S SORRY ABOUT THE THREAD HIJACK solorider :\
