Who knows the answer ??????

I Just got off the phone with cindy at factory pipes and she told me that a 701 factory b pipe manafold would not line up bolt holes on a 650 superjet .Now all the factory B pipes that I have seen for sale claim to fit both 650 and 701 only difference is the port size which is bigger on the 701 . so I was wondering if anyone knew for sure thanks

I was told they were the same but not sure. Gaskets will work on any of them the same.

I have run a 650 manifold on a 701 and 760 cylinder before. The trick is to get some 8mmx1.25 helicoils and thread them into the big 10mm holes on the 701/760 cylinder.

cindy doesn't know what she is talking about if she told you that. bolt patterns are the same. you don't need helicoils on the 701 61x only the 62t cylinder takes the bigger bolts.

X2 Don't trust what she says about applications. She likely has a list of intended applications, and has no idea beyond her printed list what an exhaust system really is.

A lot to mention here. First of all, when you order a FP manifold, you need to know whether you need the manifold to have holes sized for 8mm bolts or sized for 10mm bolts. The 650 (6m6) and 701 (61X) cylinder use 8mm bolts. The 62T 701 cylinder uses 10mm bolts. FP sells manifolds for both.

If you already have a manifold with 10mm holes you can use it on your 61X or 650 cylinder, but your best bet is to assemble it with the head off so that you can position it properly relative to the exhaust outlet (since there will be play with 8mm bolts in 10mm holes). You can also carefully drill out 8mm holes to fit a 62T 10mm application.


To add to this, if you are buying used, you may end up with a manifold and/or headpipe with a very small diameter exhaust hole (I believe the early ones were 42mm as they took the B pipe design right from the Kawi, in fact the Kawi and Yamaha headpipes are interchangeable, or were for many years). As you go to 760 and larer motors this can restrict performance. Now FP sells the 701 setup with a 47mm hole so you are pretty good for most applications until you get into the 900+cc range and then you can have a builder carefully open it up further (this is very close to water passsages so you really have to be careful).

Hope this helps.
