Muzzy to Akra, my prez we are in it now homie. Make sure that akra header comes with 02 bung plug and get four OEM header top crush gaskets and two OEM mid clamps!
Bravo holmes the sound will be even badder and louder running a fullsystem homeboy! Can't wait!

Hey C..............in you "favorite pic" it looks like you took the pic before tightening the exhaust clamp!? Or, did you forget to do that?

Hey! Nice catch! No, I was just at the point was I was doing the first assembly steps and I was lying prone on the ground making sure I had everything aligned the way I wanted with that mid before I tightened anything up. I saw that angle, grabbed my phone and snapped that shot, stuck my phone back in my pocket and resumed work. It's kind of a habit I have when doing anything on my bikes. I enjoy looking back at all the old pics years later.
I finished the assembly, re-aligned everything, then tightened, triple checked alignment from all angles, then tightened to feel.

You got mad skills C!
I've got two left thumbs homie!
Thanks for the pics...can't wait till you Akra head that bad boy!

As a note:

When blocking the 2012-2013 zx-14r's pair valve to reduce decel pop with slips, the line you plug is the LEFT line under the frame.
As shown here: Click for instructions

I didn't use that gay cap thingy, I used a black zip tie several inches down the line to create a choke point. Then I shoved a slightly oversize ball bearing in there to the choke point. Then I trapped that bearing in place with another zip tie. Then I rubbed spit on it (the line) and stuck it back in the hole. ;)

Thanks wolf! And yes! I'm gonna order that Akra header in the next month! Damn. Gonna be sic!

Will also come with a sonic boom C!

Dangit wolf, now you got me lying awake at night thinking about this akra header. I am trying to visualize the flow. I am fing pissed about the bung plug. We don't need the bung. It's a flow interupt. A minor one, I will admit. So here is what I am thinking. I am going to write as coherently a composed letter as I can to Muzzy. I am going to enclose pics of my bike and a link to the site. I am going to ask my favorite American made in the USA hot rod gear head, to match me a set of 4-1-2 headers for my slips. Here is why I think I have an argument. Muzzy already makes a full dual system for the 12-13 R. The header I need exists. I just need it cut correctly for my application. Also, it would match. It would probably end up making their product line more flexible for customers like me. That's my plan wolf. See if I can't sweet talk the man into making me a flawless full Muzzy 4-1-2 system with addition of his stainless header. We shall see. No bung plug for me?

But, if they tell me to suck exhaust gas, I will be ordering and a bung plugging homie!

I am confident you can get a Muzzy header, but you're gonna have to call them directly to get one.

I am gonna do that on Monday morning sir! I hope it works out, all makes sense and should be easy to do. Woot! I am fing stoked at the prospect!

Sounds fiendish, me like...and like we both agreed, the best exhaust system is the one you decide to put on your bike.
There is no right or wrong, just the way of the Buddo Warrior homeboy!

Yeah buddy! That's gonna be a dual setup that'll be kinda spicy. I want dual nitrous bottles inside the peg hangers and 40dry shot lined to my tracts. Flash to pass for lightspeed. Fuck going bigger on the rear sprocket. I plan on using all of 190 all the time. I might drop the rear two teeth once I plumb the NOS. technically that'd give me bout 210 - 212 on the street in my fuckin flip flops. Sounds like a plan.

Brock's full CT Duals, blaring, loud and proud.

The power of thunder itself is within your hand. At first you are unsure if you are worthy of being in control of something of this magnitude, but you hesitantly accept it.............Now you have felt the power of what you are dealing with, and growing in confidence, you and the machine are now as one

.........you are now the mighty God of Thunder himself, as you release the machine's volcanic force upon the earth's mortal machines. The monsterous machine leaves the pavement scorched in its wake. Unable to withstand the destuction as the mighty machine applies its immense muscle to the earths' surface.

Another would be challenger falls victim to the monster's unstoppable power.

..........and after you have moved on to your next attack, leaving a cloud of smoke in your aftermath, the onlookers then can hear the monsterous machine's mighty engine screaming once again, as its about to overtake yet another mere mortal bike. Not unlike the village peasants from the days of old, as they fearfully listen in terror to the screaming sounds of the wolfman attacking another helpless victim off in the distance, as the blood curdling screams of man and animal pierce in the foggy night air.

And the mightly Green Godzilla's unstoppable reign of terror continues. And its wrath of hellacious horsepower as just begun....................
..........

That's the best I could come up with off the top of my head..................

Z-man! Holy fuck. Absolutely terrific!

Zx you are a Goliath among us mortals...

like the second coming, riding this Messiah is biblical. She lays deep growls that lash from behind like crooked cops slamming bodies against phone books with nightsticks. The megaphonic boom, scorches ones auditory senses like the breaking of the sound barrier! Shit that would make Yeager draw an evil phuckn grin, snarl, grind teeth while mad looking for the broomstick ejection handle.

The putrid tendrils of bio-waste and squid ash succumb to this totalitarian street pariah!

The bombastic growl hits you in the back like a sledgehammer as you catch the next gear, and all in the rearview disappear.

The gargantuan monster just power lusts, as impulse control gives in to the clammily of torch and visceral sound that sends shockwaves into the Earth's core! The throttle hand, opens a gaping vortex and the zx transcends the gravitational pull of Terra Nova's circadian symphony. All becomes a wash and the helmet cocoons, like a sound proof womb. I was born, I lived, my ride...ZX 14!

Jaysus men. That is some excellent stuff. Hope y'all don't mind. I'm saving them. I read them to my son and he wanted to go riding right away! :)))))

64 your writing makes me want to morph and howl at the full moon, while tearing into human intestine!

thanks C, like 64, it's a one off from the top of my rooker!

Very powerful work, Wolf. You sure you are not a writer on you off time? Killer stuff!

Big compliment coming from you my guru...Nah, I read about 7 or 8 books a week and I have a fetish for literature and short story writing. I wrote a book called young lions, but I keep obsessing over submitting it to a publisher. I doodle, that's it.

How about you, you have mad skills bro, you write?
W

Wow...those do look great!

I looked on the Muzzy site, but the only black oval stainless steel slip ons they show are the carbon ones. They have the stainless steel polished model listed, but no black canisters like yours for the 12/13 ZX14.

I hate to be a PITA, but do you happen to know the model or part number for these?

I have been researching slip ons and was looking at the Brocks Alien Heads, the Vance and Hines CS Ones, etc...but I think these look the best to me. Also, the video with the pan full of bolts and screws is priceless.

Thanks!

No prob!

1014-00400 2012-2013 ZX-14R Stainless Steel Slip-On Exhaust System with Black Oval Stainles Steel Canister*not compatible with European model 745.95 Details

My boy, your science and physics warms my heart homeboy. Mad love!

Thank you sir! I gotta do something with all that time spent not sleeping pondering bikes! :)))
