I was loading my bike in my truck last week when I noticed that the wishbone of the rear suspension was very close to my mid pipe, Im talking very close. At first I thought maybe the suspension was loaded from being strapped down. So I took the tension off by unbuckling the straps and she still didn’t have a lot of clearance. I got my son to sit on the bike and whatever clearance was there when he applied his weight to the rear end it looked really tight. I emailed Graves and they said my y pipe was not bolted to the old cat converter bracket right. I unbolted everything and loose here is the picture. Can someone with a graves full show me how there’s is mounted. Thanks

I believe there was changes to the MT-10 exhaust in 2022+ You may need to make sure you have the correct exhaust/link pipe. I think you have a 2020 from your previous posts. Maybe you have the link pipe for the 2022+ ?

Make sure you got the right one. Graves has a different exhaust for the 22+ bikes. Curiously the second gen one is also $150 more than the first gen one. The second gen did have some slightly different mounting points than the first. LeoVince, for example, makes two different link pipes. Others like my Hindle don't have a mounting bracket on the link pipe (it only clamps to the headers and then has a mount for the muffler) so should fit both generations. First gen: P/N EXY-17FZ10-CETCSecond gen (22+): P/N EXY-22MT10-CETC

Thanks for the replies. I loosened everything back from the header . I was able to align the y pipe bracket to the catalytic converter . Since I did not do the initial install can anyone with a first gen graves full tell me what fasteners were used to attach the y pipe to said mount.

AFAIK it used the OEM mounting bolt/nut that held the cat on to that bracket
