    I need some experienced advice!

    I receintly purchased a Remus Revolution for a 2009 US Buell Lightning XB12SCG. When it arrived I noticed that the inlet on the exhaust was larger than the one on my bike. I emailed the company that I bought it from and he said that the exhaust that they sent is the right one for my bike and that the headers on my bike must be the wrong size.

    My bike:


    New Remus:

    i would say they sent you the wrong pipe,the pipe size on my 09scg that i bought new and has the stock headers matches your stock pipe measurments.

    ^^ Um...he bought a 12 pipe which leads me to believe that he has a 12 - which would mean that he *should* have bigger headers than your 9.

    I think _some_ euro spec XB's were 2.5" but most were 2" collectors.

    my guess is euro spec 09 exhaust (which has a CAT) Typically when you order a euro exhaust you need to order the 03-07(8?) models that did NOT have CAT's in them yet.

    Is is possible to upgrade headers to match the size of the exhaust they sent me or is that not something you would want to do?

    Just measured mine. It's 2". I can't speak for the Euro spec but I know the 9 pipe fits on the 12 and visa versa.

    Tell Remus that they are idiots and they better give you a discount for being so f'n dumb. That is unacceptable. "Oh your bike must have the wrong header on it" That's a bunch of bull**** and it's terrible business practice.

    I retract my previous post due to the enlightenment of those after me :p.

    I forgot about the euro pipes - thanks for correcting me.
