Have been offered a set of downpipes from an xjr. Just wondering if these are any good to me for my 87 fj1200. At the moment it's fitted with a Yoshi 4 into 1 with the front in poor condition ( patched with gun gum ). Might go back to 4 into 2 if the downpipes off the xjr would fit.
Can anyone advise as to whether or not i can make these work for me?
Hi Woodsman,
I have just recently fitted a complete 4 in to 2 system from an early 90's XJR to my 88 (3CV). The down pipes and collector box were identical to the FJ ones.
The only issue I had was the muffler mounts were slightly more forward. So I had to modify these to fit.
If you are just needing the down pipes, I don't believe you will have a problem.
Cheers
Mike
Great, thanks Mike. Don't think the pipes are anything special but they are solid so might be ok if i give them a clean up and s lash of black paint.
Cheers, Sean.
black is the way to go, but if you like polishing , they may be stainless steel

I got lucky, scored a freebie "brand new" (less than 500km) chrome system off the XJR. I'm not a chrome freak by any means, but the PO wanted a louder system so he took it off the week after buying the bike new, and the price was too good to pass up :good2:.
I think the black would look OK, but the chrome looks pretty classy, I think it does anyway, as I don't have the lower chin scoop.
Just my 2 bobs worth.
Cheers
Cant argue with the price mate, full system or just the headers , , speaking of bellypans, im going to modify/ completly fk a cbx 750 one and try and make it fit effie, only slightly wider and needs new mounting brackets to bolt it to, if it works out , might make a few extra :scratch_one-s_head:
Not really going to see that much of mine as i have a full fairing which i will prob put back on. Been looking at lots of pics and don't seem to be many with the full fairing on, most have the chin spoiler.
you have a full fairing, lucky bastard :good2: ,
