Hello another ? did vance and hines ever offer a muffler for the race header , can you change the end caps for different applications? i have what i believe to be a vance and hines for the race header but the mounts are broken but i have a brand new one for an s1 im looking to make a donor out of | ||

I have a Vance&Hines CF one that blew up but i still have it. I was going to have it repaired but i bought a full D&D system instead. I will sell if you could use the parts off it. It is off an X1 Here is a pic  This a SSR2 can. I paid $500 for this can.  | ||

pm sent and how much ? | ||
| Dinuns1 |
do you have a pic from the top ? | ||
| Preybird1 |
It was used on a stock X1 header. The packing blew out at only 750 miles and i didn't notice and it melted the carbon fiber.  | ||
| Dinuns1 |
my main concern is the rear mount is that good ? | ||
| Ratbuell |
The CF cans have a different rear mount. The aluminum cans like to shear off the mounting 'foot'; the CF ones use a stainless strap-style rear mount. If I can find mine, I'll take a pic... | ||

To answer one question not answered yet: I've never seen a V&H can that was made for the Buell race header. | ||
| Dinuns1 |
if someone could help me post up a pic i have a pic of the pipe in ? | ||
| Preybird1 |
The rear mount is made of 2 super strong diesel exhaust clamps and a home made bracket that is 1/4" steel and welded together. It has never broken, And i still have it. I will snap a picture of it and see if it will work for you DINUNS1 Is it an X1 you have? | ||
| Dinuns1 |
no i have an m2 i have what i think is a race can made by vh but cant confirm it if some one could help me load a pic i could get to the bottom of this | ||

Salvatore, That appears to be a standard V&H, with either the elbow cut off or not installed, to allow that slip over a race header. Not made by V&H that way, that's modified. Will post pics here in a sec (I'm on my cell phone). | ||
| Dinuns1 |
ok it hasnt been cut and i thought all the ones with removable elbows were held on with springs ? am i wrong in believing that ? | ||
| Brinnutz |
Salvatore, The V&H SS2R's for Buell's had the elbow welded onto the muffler from V&H that way. See pic below for reference.  And judging from this picture you sent me, it has been cut before, look at the uneven cut on it. So YES, it has been modified.    | ||
| Brinnutz |
BTW, that rear mount is jacked up | ||

I have a complete stainless one off my S3, gently used, in the box, that's available for sale. I switched over to a CF one, and have this one as a take-off. DW | ||

Some were welded, some had the springs. Im not sure when they changed, maybe when they went to the 2.5 " system? Both my aluminum and cf ones had the springs, they were both 2" | ||
| Brinnutz |
I believe that was the difference between the SSR and SS2R no? | ||
| Guell |
i thought both of mine were ss2r | ||
| Brinnutz |
Lol, I wonder if anyone really knows...that was my assumption hence why it was a question for someone to answer. Either way, the one he sent me pics of doesn't have the spring clips, I will bet it had the elbow welded on. | ||

I have the carbon fiber V&H on mine at home, I can take a look at it after work and see which version mine is. | ||
| Dragonwing |
Anyone bother to call V&H and ask them, instead of just guessing? They're really quite approachable.... DW | ||
| Dinuns1 |
DW thats on my list off things to do , they awesome to work with but ive jsut been super busy at the shop no time to mess with my stuff |
