ct meg header install

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Need some help please.  Compared to all the other Brock's products I have or have had the instructions for the 2102+ zx14r seem a touch confusing.  There is nothing saying where the muffler mounting bracket goes.  That wasn't too bad, between looking for bolts that match up and a quick call to Lee Prichard to confirm had it done.  Instructions say to put a thing layer of permatex on the inside of each header tube but that won't do anything since the tube slides in the spigot so I hope I guessed right and put some inside each spigot.

Here is  my real question though do I use 4 or 8 springs on the header mounts?  Instructions say 1 spring each  but there is enough for 2 on each.   Is there a diagram showing which holes in the flange to which loop on the headers?

This is how I currently have it, was in a hurry since my son was getting impatient with me not paying undivided attention to him and I'm 99% I've got it wrong.

can't get the image to upload

Thanks in advance.

	I went ahead and put 8 on. Not sure if I've got the oriented correctly but they're on.

	Since there are no specific instructions for the CT Meg may I suggest you might want to put an addendum to the instructions for it. Might want to put a note in about muffler mounting bracket and this. I was double checking some items and noticed the muffler is hitting the original exhaust hanger bushing. Might want to make a note that it needs to be removed, or did I do something wrong? I'd post a picture but can't figure out how to here.

	toledoUPSguy, Thank you for bringing this to our attention, make sure bracket that mounts to foot peg is behind bracket welded on muffler, this will give more clearance between muffler and stock bushing mount.

	Thanks EJ, that is how I have it mounted. I just removed the bushing so now it's even lighter.

	I did the same thing. Since the CT pipes go inside the flange I just put the permatex on the outside. Makes no sense to put it on the inside. Also I only used 2 springs per pipe (cause thats all it comes with) but instead of putting them all on the bottom row I put one on top and one on bottom. It just made the most sense given the orientation of the attachment points.
