No real hassle to fit

A bit tight around the shock tower and you'll need to cut an allen key down to get the left side bolt in.

Apart from that all good.

I used spacers to lift the wing mount a little cause I thought it was a bit close to the pipe.

Where did you get the silencer for the jet pro rear mount? Does it have a negative effect on performance?
No negativity just make sit run quieter contact dino at jetpro and they will hook you up.

An aluminum spacer with fins sandwiched by 2 asbestos-like gaskets.

An issue I encountered here is that the weld around the tube at the mounting plate is too thick that the screws are over the welds when I tightened them. I might need to dremel a few.

I was able to fit pipe around the cage, but I had to cut-off about an inch an a quarter of a plastic to accommodate the first bend of the tuned pipe, see photo below.

The lower mount is also almost aligned, just needed a little bending and some spacers.

The rear plastic support that acts as bumpers too had to be removed. Maybe it can be installed back with a few mods and extension bars to hold it.

Hi Phil, I ran for 20mins yesterday on my DR and fortunately the rear part of the cage/wing mount didn't show any melting at all.I also noticed a HUGE release of power!!

Great news

A pipe really makes a difference
