After paying $400 for the pipe I'm kinda pissed that I am having this many issues getting it to fit! Thinking I should have bought the DCS I saw on ebay

Mid pipe angled incorrectly?

Hybrid or Zilla?

If its for a Zilla I remember a thread here not long ago with the same thing.Apparently I was told someone from Aaen is now a member here now.Maybe ask Mitch?

Pulled off the DCS-4 off of E bay to be used for DCS-5 refinements, you want to contact SQHQ member Elana from Aaen.

Any chance on redrilling the rear mount to allow the forward mount to bolt up?

Kreidy818 · « **Reply #8 on:** February 12, 2013, 08:24:10 pm »

So here are the issues.
1. Yes the mid pipe is WAY off. to make it right I will hve to cut it in half, adjust it and reweld it.
2. The spring clips on the silencer are at 12 and 6 oclock while the clips on the mid pipe are at 2 and 6 oclock!!!!! The top spring is rubbing on the mid pipe.
3. Mounts on top of the silencer were not even inline when they welded them. I should have just packed it back up when I saw that when I opened it. And the mounting holes were nowhere near correct

Now dont get me wrong, I've put on plenty of aftermarket over the years and I realize there may need to be some "tweaking" to do to get them to fit right but this is unacceptable.

I wonder if they are sending out hybrid pipes for zillas? i dunno sounds about the exact same as mine was

Kreidy818 · « **Reply #10 on:** February 12, 2013, 08:36:31 pm »

Redrilled the holes on the silencer but I had to drill them both out to 1/2" to get it to work. Still can only get the rear mount to line up unless I cut or heat up and bend the mid pipe. Does anyone have these problems with the Q or HPR pipes?

Mitch Keller · « **Reply #11 on:** February 12, 2013, 08:39:45 pm »

I had the same issue

Kreidy818 · « **Reply #12 on:** February 12, 2013, 08:39:56 pm »

I was wondering the same about the hybrid pipes. But would the mounts on the expansion chamber wuld line up? I actually didnt have that much of a problem with those. Just basic tweaking

Dezsled · « **Reply #13 on:** February 12, 2013, 08:41:05 pm »

Halls, Q V1 & V2 fit no problem....

Kreidy818 · « **Reply #14 on:** February 12, 2013, 08:42:43 pm »

The spark arrested silencer is so much better looking than the non.

Kreidy818 · « **Reply #15 on:** February 12, 2013, 08:46:27 pm »

Honestly if I didnt have a race this week end I would ship the midpipe and silencer bck and make them fix it. At least the FMF I pulled off mounted correctly even if it was anemic

BadMoonRacing500 · « **Reply #16 on:** February 12, 2013, 09:23:57 pm »

Funny Q hybrid pipe's used to have fit issue's but the Zilla pipes fit good, with AAEN all the hybrid pipes fit good and the zilla pipes are f'ed up.

Rider414 · « **Reply #17 on:** February 12, 2013, 09:26:48 pm »

Didn't you know you have to have a welder to fit a AAEN Pipe?

They should option a Harbor Freight MIG welder with every purchase.

Kreidy818 · « **Reply #18 on:** February 12, 2013, 09:33:01 pm »

Funny you should say that. I feel like thats where i bought and it should have said "made in china"

WestTexasKing · « **Reply #19 on:** February 12, 2013, 10:08:56 pm »

Seemed to me that Q's hybrid pipe fit great and the 250 pipe had clearance issues.
That same exact hybrid pipe wouldn't fit on 210Zilla's 85-86 hybrid.
There's just so much differences between identical bikes, then factor in 20 years worth of riding, hard to say if anything will fit right.

Q2W · « **Reply #20 on:** February 13, 2013, 08:07:00 am »

i think the early hybrid pipes had a fit issue. If i remember, the first jig was made from a modified frame.

Kreidy818 · « **Reply #21 on:** February 14, 2013, 07:47:59 am »

Finally got it mounted up, somwhat. Just one silencer bolt in for now. Will have to "fix" the midpipe when I have time in the spring. Ironically I was able to keep the stock fender bracket

Dirtzilla · « **Reply #22 on:** February 14, 2013, 03:48:11 pm »

Kreidy, when you get a chance you should get the silencer mounts beefed up at the silencer as mine **** after only a couple small rides,
