Ex-Box Vs. Open "Udder" - 07 S2R1K

[elyk]

I thought you couldn't run without the exhaust cans. Wouldn't it run lean if you just leave the udder on and no cans?
If not, the cans are coming off this weekend, bike is too quiet.

i took them off today for the same reason on my s2r 800. its sounds awesome! runs like normal too. didnt notice any difference, minus the roar and 10 times more heads turned.
now i want to get some custom short pipes fitted to make it more clean looking. like squidwood's bike

A FatDuc will fix the lean condition from running no udder/no cans/cored cans whatever...

Check out the closed-loop sticky for fixing that lean condition and making your bike full of awesome.

Exactly how I went about it. I went from the stock exhaust to ditching the cans (open udder) to a set of BoomTubes from Mark @ MotoCreations...

Really nice bike ProTeal55!

Really nice bike ProTeal55! 

Thanks man.
Just allot of blackin things out and removing what doesnt need to be on the bike..
Still have a ton of things I need to do to get it looking how I want..

wow those are sweet. im assuming those are louder than the udder. and what are you doing for fuel management?

[ProTeal55]

The udder was loud to the rider, and around the bike, but the sound didnt carry much down the road.
The current exhaust is alittle louder than the open udder around the bike, but carries down the street much much more.
Kinda hard to describe. Like if you have ever heard a bike with a open Termi system, you can clearly hear it blocks away.
Thats how the BoomTubes are, and when you really get into the throttle it sounds like a big block chevy (literally)..
Below is a video that my buddy took after we got the pipes on the bike. I plan to put the stock clutch cover back on and get some better videos of the exhaust sooner than later. Nothing better than trying to hear how an exhaust sounds with the clutch drowning it out..

If you are looking for a minimal/simple/clean system that leaves the rear tire open/clean a set of BoomTubes is def. the way to go..

As far as the fuel thing goes, everything on the bike is stock with the addition of a FATDUC. At first I thought I would run it @ it's fattest setting (due to the pipes being so short/small/open) and I literally burned/melted the packing material outta the pipes . So now I have the setting on the FATDUC in the middle of the range of adjustment and the bike seems to be running pretty good. Pulls hard thru the gears, with minimal poping on decell. I need to take the time and remove the system from the bike and seal up the slip-joints with some of that high temp gasket stuff, as I am 90% sure I have a exhaust leak on the back cylinder pipe (thus causing my bike to run hotter than it should). Besides that all seems to be well..

You seriously let people take your bike for a rip down the street?

Thanks for the advice/heads up on the Ex-Box..
Maybe it is becasue I am used to HD's with open pipes that I think my open udder isnt that loud.
The udder isnt gutted, so whatever is in there is still there (maybe why it isnt that loud?).
Dont get me wrong, the bike sounds good to me (while I am riding it) and when you are around the bike but I have had people take my bike for a rip down the street and I can honestly say you really dont hear it after a few feet away (atleast not how I want the bike to sound). I hear guys ripping around the city with full/open Termi kits and thats exactly how I want my bike to sound, just cant get myself to cover up the back wheel with a muffler...

The only other system I would consider buying would be the dual sided Zard setup in black.
That system unbaffeled is susposed to be crazy loud, and doesnt cover the back wheel all that much. But once again, I want to keep the bike looking as "light" as possibile, and those two huge cans arent going to help..

[ProTeal55]

I have a buddy who is a factory Honda rider who can handle a bike better than I ever could do my "fly-by" testing for me.
He is the only person I let ride my scoot.

Hopefully one day you can create two videos of the BoomTubes on your S2R1000 -- one while on your Ducati while riding lower Wacker Drive in Chicago.  And the second is the pedestrian video of you riding by in the same place.    I know I rode my DesmoDevil with the prototype BoomTubes around downtown a few years ago -- I did it a few times as it was simply awesome with all reverb and accoustic reflections happening about

[ProTeal55]

I am def. going to get some videos of the bike before the weather turns to crap (it's coming - i can feel it)...
One will be of me riding down lower wacker - the other will be a "pedestrian" shot as I ride past him.
As I said above I am going to put the stock clutch cover back on to keep the clutch rattle to a min.

[MostroS2R]

I took mine off on the weekend, WOW! Sounds great and looks good too.
I did get some grief from the wife because I removed the passenger pegs as well. I might add them and the s pipes back but with no cans.

[ProTeal55]

It is really crazy how good these bikes look with the back wheel completely open.
Once I removed the stock cans their was no way I could cover up the wheel (thus why I went with a set of BoomTubes)..

here is my newly installed ex-box. love love the sound and looks.

lets try it again.
