MK2 and J exhaust
Apart from additional mounting brackets (under the engine) on Z1000J exhaust: are there major differences between MK2 and J exhaust? Will J exhaust fit MK2? Is the look similar?
Cheers, Uli

Re: MK2 and J exhaust
Hi Uli
only the marking is different (KZT00A, KZT00J). For the rest they look just the same.

Re: MK2 and J exhaust
Hi Philippe,
Just noticed the down pipes are different on the upper end. Will that J pipes fit MK2 head anyway?

Re: MK2 and J exhaust
Yes. My J has a pre-1980 Kerker pipe fitted and the header diameter is the same between models.
If you're using a stock exhaust the header clamps might look different but are interchangeable, with the exception that some early years used M6 if I'm not mistaken.

Re: MK2 and J exhaust
I believe ultim8pc bought a 'J' just to put the exhaust on a MKII. If he doesn't post here, it may be worth a PM?

Re: MK2 and J exhaust
That is the plan. Mounting that J exhaust on my H.
I wonder, how these J downpipes are fixed. Same collars (half-moons) as MK2/H ?

Re: MK2 and J exhaust
I never fitted the J exhausts to the MK2 (as I sold the J with the exhaust as I was made an offer I couldn't refuse), so don't know for sure.
The J collars are different to the Mk2. The MK2 being the usual chromed and finned steel items and the J being a smooth aluminium item.

Re: MK2 and J exhaust
Nigel, that finned (MK2) or smooth (J) part is called Holder. That will fit.
The part I´m asking are the collars # 92027A (J) as in link above.

Ah yes, sorry, should have paid more attention.
Makes sense you'll need the shorter J inner collars due to the longer flange on the end of the J headers.
Let me know who you get on.

Re: MK2 and J exhaust
Will have that J exhaust re-chromed and then fitted to the MK or to the H.
The J exhaust has those additional brackets. Not sure if I cut them off before chrome if. Will they disturb on NK2/H?

Any chance you can see if they fit before you chrome them?
I believe that you need to use the MK2/H brackets to make the J exhaust fit.

As yes, those brackets! Yes, I guess those would need to be removed....
Eagerly awaiting your news on fitment!
Thanks
