ZX9 Exhaust

I bought a ZX9 engine yesterday with manifold and rear can both thrown in. Thinking further up the line than I am, can these be used in my build or shall I just get rid and have to buy different ones?

The exhaust can be fitted once its in the car, but you would have to fit it upside down. No good in the long run but enough to get it started. I believe its made of titanium too, so not ideal to weld.

Eventually you will need a proper pipe making, slightly bigger bore tube too i believe.

As for the can, it can be used but you might want to get one that flows better. I used a carbon straight through race can.

The builder of my "buy" phase ZX9 locost painstakingly cut and shut the bike exhaust so that it kept all the lengths the same(ish) but was routed correctly down the side of the car.
It looks much better than I have described it
Think it's only the can that's titanium, the rest of it seems to have the usual propensity for rust
