90 Degree Exhaust Tip

Hi guys,

Has anyone got an idea where i can get a 90 degree tip to fit on the end of my R1 can from? I believe it's a 2" diamenter. It's currently got a 45 degree fitted and it's blowing on the rear arch and melting my arch protector. Ideally with a rolled end, but without will also work.

Weldable with an arc welder would be handy too.

Cheers

I used one of these 90 degree Mandrel Bend Stainless Steel 50mm 2 inch

I just pushed it in with RTV exhaust sealant, and held it in with a screw from the back.
1800 miles later and it's still there and doesn't leak

You can weld early R1cans, later ones are titanium so you will struggle. The push and screw is starting to look favourite.

These are very restrictive cans BTW

My can is Titanium, hence the screw fixing. That bend is ,I think, expensive but I couldn't find a tight mandrel bent one any cheaper

I bought a second can to give me two hangers and two front end caps. I removed the rear angled end cap by drilling out the rivets and also removed the inner end cap. This is titanium but behind this the internals were steel. I cut off the 45 degree steel stub and replaced it with a large diameter 45 degree bend that I had slash cut. I then slid a front cap over it and riveted it on.
You could do the same with a 90 bend.
