Bonneville America Forums Forums Technical Forums Exhaust a different exhaust

heres my idea for a cool and different exhaust.it cost about $125 to make.it has a 1 3/4" od pipe and and a 1 3/4" id muffler.
this is my prototype to see how it would work.i think it works pretty good as i have 63.59 hp with it.
this winter i will be making a 2" exhaust.
i will keep it a 2 into 1 type.

different muffler and i think you have something. maybe something supertrapp

yeah, i could do that but i made it to look the way i wanted it to.i like it and thats what counts.
i wanted to show something different and say hey get creative,its ok to do your own backyard engineering.so go for it people.

also you dont have to spend 500$ or more to get a very decent sound and a hp boost on top of it.

no no i hear ya, i bet you could make a few bucks even selling the 2 into 1 section and allow people to choose there own end

Frank

holy smokes!!!
didnt even think of that.

i accept cash and checks for my ideas

While you're at it... I bet you'd make money bending up fresh header pipes too!

ive been thinking about headers for awhile theres not much available for our bikes.of course i like black pipes but i guess i would have to make chrome ones.
such is life.

Hey, BBQ paint is cheap.

Wha'dya think you'd charge for a 2-1 kit? Not committing or anything, just curious...

Hey Steve, I'm with Frank on this one. Mate, you've got some talent there I believe and provided they have a good sound and actually help with improving torque, you may be able to make an extra few bucks on the side.

I'd probly dig black, or maybe just stainless?

i will see if i can get a video clip up loaded so you guys can hear what it sounds like.i really like it but lets see what you guys think.
will try it this weekend.

Cool idea but from performance aspect it seems to me that the left pipe would be longer thus uneven back pressure and flow.

didnt get the video done, forgot it was fathers day, family had other plans.stv

The more black the better..Put me on the list I want one!!!

ok gonna try the video thing this weekend.
found a great place in the mountains.
going to make a day of it and drag the wife out for a day away from home heck, ill even throw in a lunch.
thats me ...

last of the big time spenders.

this is really getting to be the pits.
the wind was blowing so hard all you could hear on the video was wind noise, then we find one run that sounded decent (did a whole bunch of them) and my daughter accidently erases everything.

what a load of .....

I like the black. My opinion, the RPM lmits of this motor will negate all but the highest frequency pulse, I don't think the small difference in pipe length is going to reduce power too much, it's not a YZF after all.
Since you're custom bending what do you think of twins- smooth black pipe from heads to slash-cut, with internal baffle and no seams? If you can build that I'd be interested.
