And is there any reason a person can't use a 2" ID to 2 1/4" OD exhaust pipe adapter to make a larger variety of pipes fit?

I went the other way (2.125 to 2) when I was using my V&H headers with my M4 can. I didn't notice any problems doing so, although I didn't run it that way very long. It would seem less likely to be an issue going smaller to larger.

[boy - I'm a dumbass... i just totally screwed up this post. i edited it when I thought i was quoting it. SORRY!!!!!!!!!!!! Somebody take my mod powers away. Quick!!!!!! Rob]

A flange mount is a bolt on pipe . Like a srad and others there is a guy in the uk that sells a flange or bolt on adapter to run any slip on to a 2" pipe.

"And is there any reason a person can't use a 2" ID to 2 1/4" OD exhaust pipe adapter to make a larger variety of pipes fit?"

This i dont understand why you would need to?!!!

Just cut your off put the new one on almost all slip ons that arent bolt ons will be 2"'s and will fit.

The slipon I just picked up is from a "bigger bandit" and Dita's midpipe measures just under 2" ( like 1.9978") and the ID of the new pipe is 2.246", so as I see it, there's a little gap to take up there. (Yes, I just sat down and tried the digitial calipers for the first time.

)

Since it looks like I can't use the midpipe from it, we're going to have the little tabs welded onto the adapter, and weld the adapter onto the existing mid.

Or am I complicating this too much?

Hah! I did it once too.

I think the original content went something to the effect of:

I gotta ask, what's the difference between a flange mount and a true "slipon", and how would I recognise it.

So, if I can do it, then others can too,.. thus opening options up?

so is there anyone that knows a specific bike model that uses a 2" slip on? like a r6? cbr? bandit 600? gsxr 600? i don't want to take a guess and order the wrong part.

When ordering a slip on just ask them for the diameter of the pipe. Thats all you have to do, any pipe, any at all. I bought a Scorpion can with 2" diameter(5cm) - perfect fit and super sound.
