KrenzyRyan Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 (edited) Hey guys, I got some SST pipes for my Banshee and have ran into a problem. As you can see from the pics, there is a large gap on the rear-most hanger. Is there suppose to be a bushing for this? And where may I find one/what does it look like? Also, I seem to be leaking a bit of exhaust from this area (where the silencer connects to the pipe). Is this normal? The exhaust mostly leeks from the top pic (and yes, the pipes are pushed into each other as far as they can go (with all hangers attached).

Toomey Banshee Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 Is your frame bent? You can always throw some washers in there. As far as your pipe connection issues you need the rubber hose clamps to hold the two together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastbanshee8 Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 (edited) All of the FMF silencers that I've ran in the past, have had a washer, rubber grommet, and an aluminum bushing that mounts the silencer to the frame, on both sides. You are missing some parts. You're probably going to have to call FMF to get the parts you need, as I've never saw the silencer mounts sold separately anywhere. Your pipes will leak where the silencer mounts up, unless you use the stock rubber hoses, and clamps, or buy some aftermarket pipe clamps. Cascade sells some, as well as many of the site sponsors.

quaddad817 Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 as far as your union get some 3/4'' heater hose and use 1'' hose clamps on both sides, and yes the silencer does use a rubber bushing! a bolt and washer! no spacer! take one of your stingers to autozone, pep boys, orileys.. and go to the help me section you will find all kinds of rubbers you will find some that work well!

KrenzyRyan Posted September 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 Cool thanks for all the responses! I still have the stock exhaust rubber connecters...I will use those if they don't differ between the ones that should come with the kit (bought mine used on ebay). I'm going to contact fmf for a bushing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
