is a 4-1 a diy project? ti force on a '07 zx10

[craigntx]

i found a great deal on a "mint" ti force ($400).
work's gone to hell though. if i can afford a pc3 i'm considering attempting the exhaust myself.
the only other bike work i've done is brakes/batts/oil changes.
i have a pretty good tool collection.
is it something i can pull off?
(i tried a thread on zx10r.net but no help)
thanks

I installed my Yosh 4 to 1 with only a few tools.
Alot easeir than I thought...just time consuming as I took off the oil cooler and radiator.

If you basic mech skils, you can install it yourself. I installed my Yosh on the Busa having never worked on such a bike before....

Thats a great deal if its a mint full exhaust. Id say you could get er done in an hour. GL

took me about 3.5hrs to go from stock to a full 4-2-1 system start to finish. You don't need real special tools of any sort. I even made my own PAIR block-off plates and removed the whole system while I was at it.

Its easy. If you have any questions I'm sure the board can help you through them

One tip is to cover your radiator with cardboard so you dont end up with a bunch of knuckle dents

I think the install is simple, I think you need to have it tuned ??? The base map for the PC is just to get you back on the road..??? I am sure the experts will be posting soon with the real help an more insight than I

Just take your time and enjoy putting it on yourself.

well it turns out too good to be true.
was advertised as "mint" but 1 of the loop things (the springs hook to) was totally ground away, a BAD flat spot, can was discolored, 3-4 springs missing, bolts that hold it to the head gone
seller (from psychobike) says he's over in afghan, and he actually never saw it taken off...
now to pray i get my $ backlease:

thanks for the replies, as always
