headers

Has anyone had experience with putting 501 headers on a 350? (early model engine, mine 92) Did the power delivery broaden or shift? I purchased a later model 501 FC pipe to replace my FE long one and it included the headers, measuring ID/OD they are 15% larger. Would take a bit of heat +...

Want to buy Akropovic headers or centre section suit a 650 Husaberg 2001-2008. thanks! Taffy

Hi looking to get exhaust headers for my fe 380on 55 reg. They are the same as the 450 parts are the same. Having trouble searching online. Any tips please? Is there a breaker ? Or new parts around. Thanks in advance . H

Sorry if this is a daft question but do the 05' fe650 headers fit an 02' fe650? Thanks

I have two complete FMF Megabomb headers and midpipes. One is Ti and one is Stainless Steel and both are made to fit the FE390/450 '09 - '12 Husabergs. Both are new and never installed. I did test fit the Ti one on my FS570 and decided that it would take too much fabrication to make it work...

When I got my bike (fe400e) it came with another full exhaust system. The headers are slightly wider but still fit. Will they be better for my engine or should I stick with the narrower pipes? Cheers.

So I have been bitten by the modding bug and have started to feed my appetite with an Akro slip on. Just purchased from Ryan, a UHE member. The bike is an early 04 450. It has the standard problem of the wheel touching the header occasionally so I thought now that I have the Akro on the way I...

duz anyone know if the diameter of the OEM header pipe is the same as that of the aftermarket headers? specifically, i'm wondering if there would be any benefit to modifying the OEM header with a "bomb" or bulge? thx

I have just bought a 2005 fs650e which has a full akrapovic system and whilst letting it warm up i noticed the header pipes were glowing orange ? Do all 650's do this ? This would suggest the bike is running very lean so I have tried to richen up the setting on the carb but had very little...

Hi anyone know if i need a gasket or somthing where the headers go in to the head? on a 03 fe400?

What can i use to clean headers, pipe; they're rusting! it's a 2008 550.

Hi, For the moment i have a Akra Muffler on my 2009 FE 450 and i'm really happy with my bike,the only thing i would have is a bit more power in higher revs. Does racing headers make a difference in higher RPM?? Who makes headers for the new Bergs? Thanks,Jeff

I see them listed in the hardparts but never hear of anyone running one (probably due to cost). are they any good? do they increase power/torque or are they like snake oil?

Where do I find a set of new headers for my 2000 FE501E? (hit a big rock last weekend) Thanks

Anyone (Taffy ?) know what jetting changes are likely to be needed after fitting 501 headers to a 400. I did it today but could not really detect any real power difference except that it felt a bit smoother. Carb is Keihin FCR MX 39mm and muffler is a Big Gunn, the rest is pretty standard...

Started the bike in the garage earlier just for a few mins and the headers were red hot is ithins normal? or could it be telling me its LEAN ? Chris.

After burning my legs and pants on my fe550 header pipe. I fitted a heatshield to the headers of my fe550. I didn't like the idea of heat tape. The shield was taken from a Yamaha Wr450 from a stock header pipe, then I hose clamp it into my exhaust. Long term I was going to have the orginal...

1-Start the bike 2-Let it run in idle for a couple minutes 3-Turn off the bike 4-Spray oven cleaner 5-Wait 5 minutes 6-Clean with damp towel 7-Redo steps 1 to 6 a second time 8-Wipe hard with dry towel 9-Wash the bike to remove all cleaner from plastics Voila. Of course, do...

I've searched the forums for info and wondered if anyone knows how great of an impact on cooling systems the closeness of the headers to the radiator is? I posted that my radiator (95/96 fe600e) was actually sitting on the header pipes! With about 2 hours and a headache later, I was able to get...
