hope this shows how tight th area is.

 

i cut my exhaust and installed a baffle in the mid pipe. sound is controlled and not obnoxiously loud and high rpms. cant comment on the power since my headlight went on th fritz and i havent had a chance to use it with the new exhaust. its rough around the end to stick to the rough mad max look i was going for. the pic isnt the greatest so i'll take a couple more to show the over all length.



here is th baffle i used. its from a jardine pipe from my 1985 yamaha bobber.

 

should i keep the front fender or chuck it?

 

i got rid of mine.... but if you ever ride in the rain, it'll make you really dirty getting rid of it

 

Yea I'm debating cuz I got caught in th rain on friday an my back was soaked cuz I have no tail lol

then take it off cuz it doesnt matter, your gonna get dirty anyway. what about giving it a trim? like to a point in the front, and maybe a few large holes in the sides?

 

or make your own... i'm planning on doing that.


it doesn't look so bulky with all the fairings, but man, once you take em off, that fender is huge

 

i cut the exhaust down to practically nothing but its not an open pipe. it has a baffle, so the sound is controlled. looks good but its rich at idle now and i knew i was goin to lose mid-range power. i was thinkin of removing the PCIII for now until i can get it dynoed, unless it isn't worth it since the pipe is so short. need some technical help on this one. here are some pics.

 

dang!
looks beast mode.

 

i nixed the exhaust with the baffle since it was restricting exhaust flow at high rpms. here is the new one...


i had an '05 cbr1000 stock undertail exhaust that i gutted. here is the important part...


and the down-pipe...


cut off the extra metal...


cut the flared inlet off the down-pipe...


here's the breakdown of installation...


worx great and pushes hard thru the rpm range.
