OK, so I've been eying my exhaust system for a while now, and decided to make a change:






I ran a string of consistent 11.40s Sunday, so I guess I'll see if it helped power next time I go to the track. I love the new sound though, it sounds like a bigger motor when it's idling, feels a little stronger too.

 

man that thing is sick....looks awesome. Wish I could pull somthin like that off

 

not being cheecky or nothing but was that as easy as it looks. looks like you just removed the mid pipe and joined the can to the down tubes with a clamp. then bolted the can clamp in the bracket for the mid pipe. looks really good and will sound awsome.

 

It was actually very easy. Just took some guts to cut the pipe, since I don't have the capability to weld stainless if it didn't work, I would have had to just mig it with mild steel to make it rideable again if it didn't work. The header is 4 into two into one, the two into one is part of the mid pipe and slips onto the 4 into two part, I cut it about 2" behind the rear of the Y, so it's pretty much right on the end of the header. It sounds like a 750 or bigger bike at an idle now. I think I'm gonna shorten the muffler another couple inches and play with some different packing/insulation. The fiberglass in that D&D is sooo tight, I think I'm gonna try some stainless steel packing, I want it just a bit quieter, but throatier, if that makes any sense. Might go ahead and paint it black too.
I didn't lose any ground clearance either, the peg will still hit first, but when my swingarm drops, like going over a bump, it will hit the muffler, that and looks are the reason for shortening up a little more.

 

it is very nice

 

looks sweet. i have been debating on doing the same thing.

 

looks cool :-D I gotta 2Bros FS and I chopped the can down 8.5"... I'll post up pixx soon
