DEP Pipe - fitting and re-jetting...
Picked up a DEP expansion chamber for my 08 ec300. I tried fitting it today and it fits fine and the top mount lines up, however I can't get the lower frame mount to line up. It's about half an inch away and I can't see any way of getting it to line up.
Before I spend time making a bracket so it will be secure I thought I'd ask; am I missing something stupid? I've got a couple of pics. so I'll try and get them up tomorrow. EDIT: All sorted thanks to a couple of ideas from this thread, anyone got any jetting tips for it? It already had a FMF PowerCore 2 long silencer on it. Last edited by C-UK; 07-17-2011 at 09:01 AM. |

The lower front mount on my 2001 xc300's pipe has a rubber spacer between the pipe and the frame. Do you have that? Would a rubber spacer fix the problem?
just an idea...

i've not owned a pipe that actually lined up with the lower mount (out of 5 pipes - none lined up...) i put a long bolt with alternating rubber and metal washers as spacers (maybe 5 or 6 of each) then a nylock. holds it solid, and gives it a little give for the hits.. the rubber spacer that is stock may or may not work....

Just fitted a fuel filter yesterday so got the piece of pipe that I cut out that should do the job nicely. |

All sorted, just got a small strip of ally and mounted it to the frame mount then put a bit of rubber hose between it and the pipe mount. A longer screw through it and a nylock on the back should hopefully hold it fine.
Just got to wait for the rain to stop so I can get it outside to start up and check there's no leaks etc. Do you guys find you have to fiddle with the jetting much for a pipe change? |

Good work. Beat me to it.
This mount came on the new bike with the FMF Gnarly - 2001 xc300 The spacer thickness is about 3/4 inch. The bolt is a super tight press fit through the rubber. Pipe in the photo is an abused Messico.
