Title: Name that pipe! Post by: Pink on May 06, 2009, 08:28:26 PM I bought an M750 used from a dealer that doesn't know for certain which pipes it has on it. I can't see any markings anywhere that would suggest a brand name, is there a way to tell?
There is a sun-bleached outline of an oval where a decal was removed. I guess here in California having the aftermarket brand sticker on your pipes is a bad idea? Can anyone help me identify this exhaust from this pic? I would love to find out so I can put the correct decal on it instead of faking it and putting some Termi decals on it ;D They sound great so maybe I shouldn't ask so many questions and just ride it...

Mine didn't have those 3 bands though. I coulda sworn mine was a company that started with an "R". Can't remember the name though. Not sure if it was Remus. I think it was an Italian brand though.
Dang, it was on TOB and I can't find any of the old threads I liked anymore. [roll] Wait, thought about it more. Thought it more and they look like my old Termignoni pipes except that they're round. The Termignoni sticker is slightly oval. (http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e70/erkishhorde/Stuff%20to%20sell/P1010018.jpg) Notice that the metal bits on the end are the same shape. Title: Re: Name that pipe! Post by: erkishhorde on May 06, 2009, 10:54:00 PM Oh yeah, random side note. You might want to check the clearances for the pipes and the axle nut. On some of the dual sided swing arm bikes the low mount Termis aren't spread far enough apart and they'll hit the axle nut if your suspension is too soft you're riding 2-up and hit a big bump. If yours is one of these you should stiffen your suspensions or fix the mounting brackets to push them out so you don't punch a hole in the side of your pipes.
Title: Re: Name that pipe! Post by: Spidey on May 07, 2009, 07:04:09 AM It looks a lot like a Termi (other than the multiple metal straps by the header), but I'm not that knowledgeable about the subject. Some Termis were round.
Title: Re: Name that pipe! Post by: DucMouse the Mighty on May 07, 2009, 07:35:32 AM if they sound that great 10 bucks says there MIVVS [moto] and they look like them to me....i was obsessed with them and i still want some ;D
You don't need no stinking stickers. [evil] what he said There is a sun-bleached outline of an oval where a decal was removed. I guess here in California having the aftermarket brand sticker on your pipes is a bad idea? i dont think the MIVV sticker was oval.....but im still stickin with MIVVS Title: Re: Name that pipe! Post by: Slide Panda on May 07, 2009, 08:45:38 AM Forza perhaps? Didn't they have a round sticker?
Ferracci eh, Are they good? Sorry I'm new... Ferracci is a shop in that states - they don't really make their own exhausts though. They would buy them from other manufacturers and place their stickers on it. So Ferracci stuff coudl be rebadged Sil, Forza and maybe another. Title: Re: Name that pipe! Post by: erkishhorde on May 07, 2009, 08:55:53 AM What's wrong w/ it being Termis? Here's another pic that makes me think it's Termis. It's an old pair of Termis, but still Termis.

Title: Re: Name that pipe! Post by: Pink on May 07, 2009, 10:32:55 AM Man, this is fascinating, thanks for all the replies!
It's odd there's no other branding other than the sticker or some other empirical evidence. At least that I can see from the outside. Why do people remove the decals in CA anyway? It's hard to tell from the sun-bleached part honestly. It could be the Ferracci oval or it could be the rounded rectangle top of the Termi logo. It also strikes me as odd that Ferracci would rebrand other pipes and sell them as their own. Although, like I said: I'm new. Man I'm half tempted to get some .WAV file up here of them. Seems like most of you would be more able to tell that way. I guess this isn't a "need to know" type thing, more a case of curiosity/liking to know what I have. Title: Re: Name that pipe! Post by: erik822 on May 07, 2009, 12:15:16 PM You should send them my way. I'll put them on my bike and ride it around for the summer. Come fall, I'll send them back complete with stickers. :)

Also Forza does not make pipes either, Forzas are rebadged Sils sold throug FBF...before they put FBF stickers on them.
Title: Re: Name that pipe! Post by: erkishhorde on May 07, 2009, 01:57:53 PM Hmmm... a picture of Sil Motor cans.
(http://www.desmotimes.com/Images/product/silmotorcans.jpg) Meh, they all look the same. [roll] Sil Motor stickers aren't anywhere near oval though. Title: Re: Name that pipe! Post by: lwszabo on May 07, 2009, 05:25:37 PM Hmmm... a picture of Sil Motor cans. trust me they are Sils. There is a silver M750 in the for sale section with the same pipes on it.

[thumbsup] for the plug! FWIW, "Forza" is a cooler sounding name for a can than "Sil". WTF is a "Sil"? |
