Finally Getting My Exhaust
In a couple of weeks I will finally be ordering my exhaust. I will be getting the Motoria straight from SSA's website. I assume it is 2.250" since it doesn't say. It says it comes with a race cat...should I use that or get a CatCo cat? Also I was going to get a glasspack. Its looking like a Thrush 31". Here are my questions: If the exhaust is 2.250", do I need a cat and glasspack that have 2.250" inlet/outlet? Let me know, and for those of you that have this setup if you could post links to the cat or glasspack that you bought it would be most appreciated.

do you h ave headers? i don't know about the website, i've heard it may or may not come at all or take a long time. i've also seen some on ebay recently but who knows about that either.
i think it comes with an O2 bung welded inside, but you would have to have one welded and sensor extended down if it didn't. next, get a 28' thrush glasspack. if you have /are getting headers get a high flow cat. if you're just bolting up to stock exhaust don't need to stress over a cat right now.

^^Yeah, I am going to get it from the site but I was going to e-mail to make sure they had them in stock first. Apparently someone else got one from them recently so I figured I would give it a go. I am not getting headers at the moment, so I will hold off on the cat then. Will this work with the SSA Exhaust http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.a...mp;autoview=sku

anything will work man as long as you have the sizing correct but really i'd advise you to just get a fiberglass packed thrush from amazon for like $28 shipped.

Ok, well I am going to e-mail them and make sure that the exhaust is 2.250". I just wanted to make sure that for a 2.250" exhaust that I needed a 2.250" inlet/outlet on the glasspack. The only thing I don't like about the Dynomax/Thrush is that all the ones I saw were red.

It's called welding, with exhaust connections you don't simply slide one pipe into the other and hope it stays. You can always have a piece of pipe 'flared' so that it fits over a pipe you want to connect to and secure it with clamps but welding is fun. wink1.gif
And who cares if your glasspack is red, they are all red. Don't like red? It's under you're car.. !!!
And just hold off on the glasspack. Put the catback you buy on and see how it goes. To put your glasspack on you're gonna have to cut off 31" of your exhaust you just paid for.. and who knows, you might like the way it sounds.

Thanks for the info Patreezy. I just don't want to have that nasty, ricey, sport bike sound coming from my exhaust. Seems to me that everyone with the SSAutochrome exhaust has a glasspack to keep it from sounding like the afore mentioned.

If sound is of the utmost concern, leave the stock exhaust on.
You have a 4cyl, sport bikes are 4 cyl's. It's just the way they sound, you can tweak it and quite them down but 4 cyl's whine, matter of fact. they don't growl.
