Getting the Tyga pipes on..
https://tyga-performance.com/product_info.php?cPath=72_1036_78_100&products_id=545


besides the two pipes....this is the kit that comes with it...


In addition to all that you need these hangers...https://tyga-performance.com/product_info.php?cPath=72_1036_78_100&products_id=3467...



Note OEM gaskets...Tyga had them too...


Not wanting the oil covered cylinders of the past I did some research to find out it you could help seal the headers with some liquid gasket. The frequently asked questions section on the Tyga website suggested a particular ThreeBond that is no longer available so I reached out to them and within a few hours got this great note from Matt Paterson which said "For the record, HRC recommended that we use Threebond 1207B on the joint directly at the manifold, and then ShinEtsu KE45 for any other, lower temperature joints, as the 1207B was overkill" Can't beat a recommendation from HRC themselves AND Tyga. I got both....

As you have seen the pipes are incredibly pleasing to the naked eye..but there's more to them....these nitron o-rings that are embedded on the inner side of both ends are in my mind incredible.



Gasket...flange and clamp...they go in this order



Warning, unless you have very strong thumbs the Threebond 1207B needs one of the household glue gun contraptions....


In place....Matt from Tyga recommended the exhaust spring holes go to the bottom but I inadvertantly put them at the top....but as you'll see in the pic after the one below...the springs look good...


Right hand pipe connects to the rear or vertical cylinder and...just looks amazing...


Quite the improvement from this...a lot of hours went into getting it to the picture up top.... that's my investment..


....getting ready for the left.


These...


...go here.....you have to be careful note to overtighten these bolts and go as far as puncture the skin of the pipe...there's a spacer that came with the bolts I had installed in the inner side of the swingarm...but 1) the end of the bolt got too close to the pipe and 2) the pipe got too close to the chain...


....so I flipped the spacer over to this side...(spacer not pictured)


.....as you can see the other side had the pipe uncomfortably close to the chain...


Can't wait to hear the sound..



....look closely and you will see the spacer in the what I think is the correct position this side of the mid anchor point of the exhaust..
