Exhaust swap.

Post by simplesimon1 »

Hi folks
Can anyone tell me if the early model xtz660 exhaust is the same as a 3aj unit.
Looks the same except for the heat sheild and I've seen a cheap one.
Thanks. :nordie:

Hi Simon

The exhaust ports on the 660 fan out & I believe the 600 ports are parallel
So no, the 660 exhaust wont fit a 600.

Nope they wont fit, exhaust ports are at a slight angle on the 660`s see pic`s & how the 600`s come out dead straight.

Thanks for the replys,
I was talking about the silencer.
I know its an ugly heavy looking thing but I'm told inspections for motor bikes are planned to start soon here in Portugal so I'm trying to get ready.
