hayabusa 2007 upgrade with 2009 exhaust
did they bolt right up? whats needed to make gen II exhausts fit a gen I
Gen 1 and 2 mufflers are interchangable(stock and aftermarket "bolt on" types), but they must be switched side to side. So gen1 mufflers work on a gen2, only the left gen1 bolts to the right gen2, and vice versa, the bolt patterns on the midpipes between the gen1 and 2 are the mirror images of each other.
I have gen1 Akrapovic cf mufflers on my gen2(Akrapovic decal is now on the insides) The midpipes are not interchangeable. Big E had a post on this a while back if you search. The headers have a differnce in shape as they pass under the oil pans if you switch them from one gen to the other also. The end pipes of the header also come out at a slightly different angle where they bolt to the midpipes.
Pm Dehning, he had stock gen 2 mufflers on his gen1, but he had to do some modifications. He can tell you how.
Um, not quite... you can not swap the sides of the OEM GEN II mufflers because of the orientation of the mounting tab.
if they were shortened about 6-8 inches i think they'd look better.
