Alien Head exhaust help, please.
Anyone else order the Alien Head Conversion Kit from Brock? I got mine today, but it didn't fit. Anyone else have a problem? Any advice appreciated.
I have videos of both the Gen3 and Alien Head exhaust if anyone wants them. The alien head I just put on to hear since I couldn't get it to fit right. :-/

It looks as if you can slide the pipe further on the headers and also slide the muffler down some as well or is it bottomed out?

Both shiny pieces that came with the kit (connector pipe and alien head) were slid on as far as they can go. I had high temp silicon in there and could see I had it in all the way when I removed the pieces.

Brock wrote back to me and said it looks like I got one of the pipes that were too long. They're overnighting me the correct one.
That's customer service! The man, himself, dropping me a note. :thumbs up:

Don't sweat it , Brock is on the case ... Brock doesn't take things like this lighty and thats why he is Number one in customer sevice... He is at Atco prostar race working but still stopped what he was doing to make sure the problem got fixed ASAP ...Who else would do that ? ....Smokin...

Yes, Brock has my business PERIOD! He called me on two different occasions to check on my parts installed and how things were going back in '06 when he first came out with parts for the bike. Now that is customer support.

Emails sent. To get a good idea, you have to hear the Gen3 video first. The Alien is a monster! Sounds mean! You'll notice in the video me stepping away from the exhaust when I revved it the last few times. When you get it on, you'll see why. LOL

So what up smoke? Did you get it on yet. Well never mind! Just let me know what you think once you put her to the test. Also, can the SMEG be converted to the alien head?

I installed my alien head last night. JEESUS. That thing is loud, and sounds like an F1 car at full blast! Wow. Even louder than I thought. Feels more buck in the back of my seat, and the weight savings is just ludicrous! Mine fit a little odd at first, then I slid my exhaust on a little more till it felt. My issue was that the spacer to fit the muffler to the frame; the bolt wasnt long enough! another 1/4 to 1/2 inch on the bolt would make it fit better. Thats my only complaint. And also, use a ratchet wrench with a pivot joint before the socket, and it allows much easier installation and removal of the new header unit. Just my .02 from spending 10 hours on it last night.
GREAT JOB BROCK. I LOVE THIS PIPE! SICK SICK SICK!!!
