stock pipes mod

[busaville]

looks awesome ..... wish I had the skills and time .... great job. What does it sound like? What about the power?

 

[kwm works]

I like the tire wiper you installed!!

 

[jessejones]

Way to go!! did you notice a power increase? And how much louder is it. I want to try it, you can't get much for a used exhaust anyhow when you buy a new system.I have more time than money....

its MAYBE got a little more low end and to me its got a nice deep hum
let me but it this way you can actually hear the pipes now

 

[jessejones]

lets see some pics, those who have done it

If you need a COMPLETE stock exhaust let me know!

Nice job

Can you weigh the left over parts and tell us how much weight savings potential there is with this mod?

 

[Greenbean]

We need a sound clip. that would inspire me more to try it...

 

[christianjax]

ditto, a sound clip would be nice. And what Fury said, how much weight did you end up cutting off?

 

[jessejones]

dont know how much weight i took off didnt keep any of the scrap, felt kinda good to throw it away

will get a video up asap

Here is a link to a video as soon as youtube catches up I have another.

I never understood why people cover the license plate. Dont you know that every time you ride your bike people can read the plate AND they see you own a bike also? How many people do you think are surfing the net looking for pictures of license plate so they can cross the country to steal your bike?

Great post!

I've also done a set of mod stock 08 exhaust with good results. I'll try & post pics soon...till then a description will have to do..it's a complete system, header & mufflers, gained a 4hp to 5hp improvement (dynoed)(182.4) & 15 lb weight reduction, while keeping stock appearance. It did take about 8 tedious hrs to do,(with help from a local racing pipe builder) I've decided to go full race,(prepping for the Texas Mile),so i'm considering selling this system, will post in the classifieds.

I cored the catalist out of the stock header,(alot of work working thru the rear)(almost indestructable material)!

Then removed the small spot welds from the rear muffler caps,unscrewed them,trimed off the rear can lip,(folded over) & completely removed the stainless canisters,from inside cans(no longer used)...rolled a peforated core,(sized for the inlet of mid-pipe & outlet of cap (slight increase in diamenter,slightly tapered meg)(had it nickled plated),reassembled with packing (stainless & fiberglass) to fill the canisters,reinstall the rear cap screws(w/nuts),reinstalled the rear caps w/small stainless rivets to the cans.

No one have ever noticed that there not stock!...not even the tech inspectors....they do have a nice mellow sound,deeper & slightly louder than stock.

I'm new to this site and was curious as to whether anyone would be interested in this system.

DAng the stock pipes mod looks wonderful. Not mechanically inclined enough to do it.
