Some pics of my new exhaust.

Out with the old...



In with the new...
I figured I'd start a thread on my exhaust build.  First step, I had to make 2 of this piece to bolt the header to the head.









Front cylinder pipe mostly done. 





I'm making a 2 into 1 exhaust. I ordered my collector from Burns.



I'm going to make a bracket attaching the header to the bike.  Then I'm going to use a v-band clamp to attach the muffler to the header for 2 reasons, I want to be able to switch mufflers easily and I'm not using a bracket for the muffler, so this will be quick and strong.  If it ends up looking ugly on the bike, I'll change it.











Rear pipe finished.



First round mostly done, I'll post up muffler pics when I get further along on that part.

Thanks!
A few more pics...













That's all I have for now.  I need to fabricate a muffler.

That's all I have for now.  I need to fabricate a muffler.

Why?

 

Looks good to me.

Very nice....

you plan on doing any dyno work to see if it works as well as it looks?

[Magnus]

pretty sweet...  why put a muffler on it?  maybe just a different tip, and then possibly you could put some baffles in there if it's too loud?  looks great though...

WOW!  that's pretty enough to hang on the wall as art.

Damn, great job...and looks awesome!! 

I love this board.

Looks very nice! However have you taken look at the clearance on your vertical cylinder header? Those springs look like they might interfere when the swingarm compresses. Have you loaded the rear yet?

i like this a lot and i look forward to seeing it complete.

great job.

[uclabiker06]

Wow, very nice; I've never seen those ones before.

[DirtyDuc]

Very nice indeed!  Can't wait to see the finished product!!

Thanks everyone!  Why put a muffler on?  The bike is too loud for me without mufflers, I've done it.  I might make a short tip long enough for just a baffle, that's why I built it like this, so I can switch it up when ever I get bored or want to try something new.  I also want to be able to unbolt this pipe and install the under seat Desmosedici style muffler I'm building.  It will exit up through a carbon fiber solo seat.  I'm relocating out of state, so that project is in limbo for a couple months. But I'll be able to quickly throw the stock seat and this muffler back on for passengers.  I will probably make a shorty carbon muffler like the Termi one for the S4R, but that'll be later on too. 

I don't plan on doing any dyno runs unless I install some engine management.  I'm mostly doing it for sound/style.

Yep, the springs clear the swing arm when the bike is loaded.  It's tight, but it worked out perfectly.  If I build another, I might put it up a little higher, but I'd have to change the angle coming out of the head a little.

Thanks again for the positive feedback!

Very nice
But on my 2 in 1 system (Sil) the headers are hold by two springs on to the heads
Think it's looking nicer and you only have to clip them lose and you can take of the headers
