Bonneville America Forums Forums Technical Forums Exhaust Can I use a honda 400cc off road exhaust?

Hi, Ive a 02 america, with air freak and normal pipes, but here in Brazil, it is difficult to find pipes for thriump, so Id like to known if its possible to use a exhaust pipe for a honda 400cc off road? because wich cilinder has 395cc.

Nobody has replied to you yet, so I'll give it a whack. I think it's safe to say that the Honda muffler will work if a pair can be mounted firmly on the bike and sealed well to the headers. Given that it's an off road pipe and probably will be less restrictive than the stock Triumph pipes, you'll need to be prepared to rejet the carbs. Sorry if this is more general than what you were looking for. Good luck with the mod!

I imagine the big issue will be getting a good seal at the head if you mean the high pipes and need the whole system.

Next thing that comes to mind is the diameter of the pipes themselves. I am not familiar enough with Hondas to know. If the diameter of the pipe is too small it will hurt the way the engine runs since not all exhaust gas will be able to escape.

If those 2 issues can be overcome or if they are a nonissue then there should be no problem.

Hi, thanks for the answers, but what i mean is if I can use only the last part of the exhaust, not all the pipe, just to get more power out of the complety system.
I´ve already put the KN flters, freak system, all them import from the USA, but when they arrived here, i had the big surprise of a 60% over tax, so it´s a little expensive to import motorcycles parts.
So, can i use what kind exhaust?

If you're only doing this to have less restriction, why not gut the stock pipes? There's no tax on that.

Try the Honda pipes....be different, and when/if you do, please post some pictures.

I am curious to see how this turns out. I keep returning to this thread hoping you put them on & uploaded the images.

Cheers!
