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....
BUT LOOKING BACK AT THIS POST MONTHS LATER I FEEL LIKE I'M MENTAL.
THERE I AM HARPING ON AND ON ABOUT HOW TYGA RECOMMEND 1207B BUT I HAVE SOMETHING ELSE PICTURED: 1217H!!.
I CAN'T SAY I'D HAD TOO MANY BECAUSE I GAVE UP DRINKING YEARS AGO.
REGARDLESS I CHECKED OUT THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN 1207B AND 1217B AND THE NOTES BELOW INDICATE
THAT SOMEHOW I PICKED A GOOD ONE WITH 1217H AS LONG AS I DON'T WANT TO TAKE IT APART TOO OFTEN.
The primary differences between ThreeBond 1217H and ThreeBond 1207B lie in their intended applications, curing properties, and oil resistance:
🔧 ThreeBond 1217H
Type: Silicone-based liquid gasket
Color: Gray
Application: Flange sealant for engines, transmissions, and gearboxes
Oil Resistance: Excellent — specifically formulated for engine oil contact
Curing: Room temperature vulcanizing (RTV), skin over in 10–20 min, fully cured in 24 hrs
Temperature Range: -60°C to +250°C (peaks to 300°C)
Key Feature: High oil resistance + high adhesion, designed for metal flanges
OEM Use: Commonly used by Honda, Yamaha, Subaru, etc., for sealing cases and covers
🛠 ThreeBond 1207B
Type: RTV silicone-based sealant
Color: Black
Application: More general-purpose, but also suitable for engines and transmissions
Oil Resistance: Very good, but generally considered slightly lower than 1217H
Curing: RTV, similar to 1217H — skins over in ~10 min
Temperature Range: -60°C to +250°C
Key Feature: Easier to disassemble parts sealed with it due to slightly lower adhesion
OEM Use: Often found in European and American applications

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 1217H 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..
