How to remount stock exhaust?

thegutterpoet · 12-03-2018, 03:40 AM

I removed the stock exhaust when installing the GYTR slip-on. It seems that I need to reinstall the stock exhaust to pass the Roadworthy test here in Melbourne. I assume the GYTR will not pass?

The problem is that I must have pulled out the EXUP cables rather ruggedly in my eagerness...And so I thought I could remove the metal cover plate with the cables going in and out (the servo?) yet the allan key bolt covers are rounded off and I cannot get them undone.

Any solutions here for a poor mechanic? Or have I mangled the thing beyond recovery and will need to pay the professional to reinstall the thing?

Just leave the cables disconnected. that valve remains open by default on the gen2

So I should be able to cut the wires off? Doubt the thing will pass a roadworthy test with hanging wires!

And with the valve open ( I can see it is open) the noise suppression should still be enough to pass the damn test I can but pray and hope...or assume likely?

If you remove the cover can you put the cables back on? If so that’s what I’d do.

Use a penetrating lubricant over several days, and try to beat a slightly bigger torx socket in the Allen hole, I have had occasional successes with this. If it’s already rounded it can’t be hurt further imo. Use a torch to heat the bolt head.

If this doesn’t work you may have to use a bolt extractor or air chisel.
