Leo Vince install

[Schunter21]

Hi guys, I am installing a new Leo Vince exhaust on my 07 FZ6 where the new header pipe attaches is not flared wide enough to fit. Is there an easy way to flare this pipe end or a tool I can buy? Any advice would be appreciated!

Can you take a picture for us? Almost sounds like the exhaust is not right for your model year. LV should fit easily without modifications (unless you have a Givi top rack).

The pipe on the left is the LV and the right is the stock. everything on the bike right now is stock. Shot is attached below.

Someone with 1st gen FZ6 please chime in. I have a feeling the LV is for 1st gen.

I no longer have mine, so I can't tell you for sure, but I remember that piece went on like butter.

I will chime in since I have Erci's LV's. The pipe coming up from the header is roughly 46mm O.D. where is slides onto the header. It should be the slotted end of the riser pipe the slides onto the header.

The slotted end is still to large to fit into the header connection...any idea on how to shrink or compress this slotted end? I figured everything would just go together nice and smooth....apparently not so much! LOL

Mine fit sweet. I would go to whoever you got the exhaust from and get the correct one. You should not have to do nothing but slide it together. Mines is also an 07 and I love my Leo's. I did remove the cat also. Hope this helps. :rockon:

The slotted end fits over the header connection.

I talked to one of the tech's at LV and he said the slotted end should go into the header connection, problem still is that the slotted connection is the same size as the header???

I have LV exhaust and when I removed my headers to clean them, the fitment was really snug with the de-cat pipe. Can you spread open the slotted end enough to slip it over the header?

I just read the install instructions and it says "fit link pipe onto header....."

I actually got to talk to engineer today and you are correct it slips on over the header, apparently it helps to remove the OEM gasket!

Thanks everyone for your comments, it did help troubleshoot/fix the issue!
