Kawasaki Z900 Mid-Pipe Install / "Bread Box" Delete - With DECIBEL TESTS! 

I really appreciate that! Thank you!

Thanks for the comment!

exelente! me alegro mucho de que haya ayudado

Bro do you know where u can get for model 2023?

@@Raz_bu I think, there is no 2023 (EU) model specific. If you buy this one, you definitely need to weld, unfortunately.

Don’t. I did it, and the fitting is pretty bad. The exhaust leaks and sounds aweful. The cat where the mid pipe plugs in is not perfectly round and that’s what causes the leak. The angle of the mid pipe also isn’t right. Ended up having a full system installed with a tune at a performance shop. Don’t do the ghetto option, save your stock exhaust and spend money on a good system.

Muchas gracias!

If you're doing this you won't need a different air filter or specific tune. If you wanted to get the ECU flashed that can get the best performance out of the bike in any case.

Should fit. Any slip on that would go onto the bike stock should work with this. I'm using a Leo Vince slip on

Si es el mismo de aliexpres en cuanto al ponerlo de vuelta podria ser con soldadura.

@@maddoxdj1830 muchas gracias por excelente video 🙏

It really is up to you. If the bike is fine for you then leave it alone and spend the money on suspension 😎

I have a video on a 675 with this exact symptom. Go to my page and find that video and check out the comments section. I believe there were a few people who had this issue. I wasn't able to have the bike long enough to actually get into the weeds and locate the problem. But a lot of other owners chimed in and maybe something is there that will help. Sorry I'm not more help! Typically... that would be an easy fix. But apparently Triumph (like all Euro bikes) has to do things differently and with more electronics.

Can it be done on the bike? Yeah. Is it a pain in the ass? yes. It's easier to remove it and have an easy place to do the work. Takes an extra 15 minutes and assures you that you don't have anything in the way to get around. Never half ass things on motorcycles.

Highly doubt it with the Cat still in.

I'm not 100% positive but I would assume it'll fit right up

Hi am fitting the SC Project CR-T carbon to my Z900 2020 how did you get on with the mid pipe. I have ordered on from Amazon and hoping it fits.

Direct fit. Wouldn't be able to get a gasket in there.

You are probably right. Still doesn't make much audible difference but then again.. I'm losing my hearing anyway 🤣

Got mine on ebay

If you're not removing the catalytic material in the header then you're fine. It'll restrict just enough airflow so that it shouldn't need a flash. That isn't to say that you shouldn't go on ahead and get it done though. :) I'll be having mine done in the Spring when I'm home from my place a bit further south than Idaho.

Want video on that too ​@@MotoMedic

Probably the plan

Con esta modificación, deberás cortar la cámara grande, por lo que será difícil volver a colocarla. Puedes quitar el catalizador, pero a menos que agregues un encabezado completo, lo dejaría ahí. Me imagino que la pipa es muy parecida ya que están fabricadas en China.

@@MotoMedicoops…can you write this in english? Also, which year the bike is from?

Oops! Sorry! I'm in Mexico and I think it auto translated your post 😂. My pipe was a direct fit. But when I got it, it also came with a collar that would probably be just for that reason. I didn't use it like I said.. It was a perfect fit with the stock exhaust. My bike is a 2022. I'm not positive about any changes or different diameter pipes but maybe? 🤷🏻‍♂️

@@MotoMedic okay. Mine is from 2023 and exhaust diameter and the pipe’s diameter is same 51mm. Looks like there are changes in diameters from 2022 to 2023. Do you have an idea what is the diameter of your motorcycle’s exhaust?

@@128900nak At the moment I'm more than 4000 miles south of my bike that is sitting nicely in a heated back room of my shop at home while I sit on a beach in Mexico. I wo'nt be able to look for another 2 weeks. I would see if anyone on the Z900 group on Facebook could get that measurement quickly for you.

Earplugs 👍 I'm an old guy that used to be a touring metal guitarist. I know whatcha mean. Nice to have a clean sound though. My last bikes were fully open race bikes.... This is quiet in comparison. Old ZX6R was easily 120db at speed on the gas at 16k.

just sound, no need to retune etc.. cat is not IN the collector, it is infront.

Same pipe. The bike hasn't changed

Pretty sure the bike is identical from 2017 to the current model.

@@MotoMedicthank you

you'll probably get a leak at the top where the cat has the welded seam at the top, at least thats where mine was. had to use exhaust system sealant along the top to stop my leak. SKU # 202229

I can't find the product using the sku. Is this from jb weld?

Should be the same 👍

@@MotoMedic thank you!

no it's not the same. This is most likely a euro4 engine. Catalytic is 73mm in euro4, 80mm in euro5, this percentage does not fit Aliexpress products.@@county_bear9509

Did it work?(mine comes in the mail in 2 days and we got the same bike)😭

@stevenmetcalf6551 yes it works. If you're worried about the warranty it may void it since you're cutting the stock pipe. I'd talk to your local dealer

It has a Leo Vince slip on as part of it now and it's nice and loud but not obnoxiously loud. I should do a followup video since adding the slip on.

@@MotoMedic the question does it still sound legal or not

@@user-vk5wz1bp2j that would depend on your local laws.

@@user-vk5wz1bp2j with the stock muffler and the mid pipe installed it is very quiet so I would imagine we'll within legal limits.

I'm in north Idaho.

Hey bro, Estoy en Saint Paul, también tengo la Z900 👍🏻

@@sergiojaimes9255 hola bro...bien yo vivo en fridley esta de planear una rodada de que país eres?

@@Spanglish_Biker Soy de Colombia bro, si claro está de planear una rodada, ya está en algún club o conoce más Z900 aquí en Minnesota?

@@sergiojaimes9255 de una mijo!!! Si estoy en un club pero no es de z900 es de motos deportivas como las nuestras...tienes FB para darte mi num de cell

Got plenty. Except I don't want it out. Just tossed a Leo Vince slip on to this setup and if the cat was out it would be unbearably loud 😂

@MotoMedic dude!!! Your reply just got you a sub! I just bought a 2021 white and lime candy green z900 Saturday. It's epic! I was considering a tuono 660, but this bike is amazing!!! Thanks for your response. You will help me learn on this murky path. I will be your grasshopper!!! Lmmfao!!!!!!!!

@@donniebaynard8430 haha... Right on man thanks. I try responding to every comment if I can. Enjoy that thing!

@MotoMedic thank you, sir. I do appreciate it!

Y un motor correctamente afinado generará mayor potencia y menos emisiones. Mi cortadora de césped lanza más mierda al aire que esta motocicleta. Además.... mira mi otro comentario sobre todas las motos chinas en México (y en todo el mundo). Preocúpense menos por mí y tal vez empiecen a pedir a sus propios gobiernos que lo hagan mejor. El mío ya tiene las leyes sobre contaminación más duras del mundo.

Because I didn't want to send out my ECU for a tune right now. I'd rather ride it for now 🤙 I'll eventually upgrade to a full system and won't have to worry about it.

representative of doubling of the sound intensity but not a linear doubling of the amount of sound. Close though :)

Parece que no sabes lo suficiente sobre lo limpios que son estos pequeños motores. Puedo asegurarles que estoy aumentando muy poco las emisiones con esta moto en comparación con la Italika de 200 cc que uso aquí en México durante todo el invierno. Esa bicicleta tiene un cilindro, está carburada y funciona muy bien... poniendo muchos más contaminantes en el aire que cualquier cosa que haría esta Z900. ¿Y la parte irónica? Están EN TODO ESTE PAÍS. Entonces, ¿qué tal si aprendes un poco sobre esto antes de venir a hacerme pasar un mal rato? Estados Unidos quema MUCHAS MENOS emisiones que CUALQUIER país en desarrollo o del tercer mundo. Apaga las noticias que te mienten. Beun día.

Además... si notas en el minuto 7 de este video: el material del catalizador todavía está en el tubo colector. Tal vez deberías aprender más sobre las cosas antes de hablar de lo mucho que a la gente no le importa el planeta. Vivo a lo largo de la segunda barrera de arrecifes más grande del mundo en México y creo que deberías tener más que decir sobre los lugareños que vierten aceite usado en el suelo que eventualmente llega a los cenotes. También vivo parte del año en 10 acres de terreno forestal. Sé cómo cuidar este planeta mejor que casi cualquier persona con la que hablo. Eso incluye a las personas que comentan mis videos. De nuevo... buen día.

@@MotoMedic tengo una z900 SE y creo que estoy mejor informado que tu por lo que hablas. Y los ingenieros que fabrican los escapes saben mucho mas que tu así que no vayas de listo Calisto. Tienes que aprender a aceptar los comentarios con educacion y respeto. Tanto si te gustan como si no. Mi intención no es discutir con listillos que creen saberlo todo. Ahí lo dejo.

Couldn't agree more.

Only if you gut the header / take thr catalytic converter material out of the pipe. It frees up airflow so you would run lean. With this.... No tune needed. But can't hurt. 🤘
