Sp1 Vs. Sp2 exhaust

I have an '01 Rc51, one of the previous owners did extensive modifications to the engine. Including I was told installing newer D port cyl. heads. When I got the bike factory exhaust from an unknown model of RC was fitted.
Looking at pics online, it looks like SP1 exhaust has a detachable flange a few inches off the rear exhaust port. On an SP2 this is a welded attachment. The exhaust on my bike is has a weld at this point, I am guessing this means that I have SP2 exaust installed.
I have been looking into getting exhaust so I need to figure this out. Is this conection the best way to determine if I have an SP1 or SP2 exhaust? If not is there a better way?

I don't think you can fit a SP2 dual exhaust around a SP1 swingarm, so that may help.

can you fit an SP1 exhause in an SP2? I have a full Yoshi from an SP1 that I'm thinking on putting on my '03 SP2.

Re: Sp1 Vs. Sp2 exhaust

I am 99% sure that the 2001 Yosh system will not fit on the SP2. However if you are looking to sell the system I might be interested. I have a 2001 SP1 as well. Later...

maybe the aftermarket gives more clearance at the swing arm area. the 2002 and up stock exhaust wont fit the 2000-01.

if you get a chance post some pics and enjoy the Akras.

Re: Sp1 Vs. Sp2 exhaust

It seems u can fit the sp2 system to the sp1 but not the other way round . also had to machine out head flanges from D port to round, not a major. Try to post some photo's on the weekend .

I had tried to swap my 2004 stock exhaust over to my 2000 and it would it work. the collecters wouldnt clear the swingarm no matter how much hammering took place. looking forward to the pics.
