ExBox or Boom Tubes?

[elyk]

ordered some tubes today. mark was very cool and helpful and i cant wait until they arrive!

If I may ask what did you do to accomplish this ?

I took the pipes back off, cleaned the slip fit junctions, and applied some silicone compound hi-temp gasket sealer on the inside of each female end of the slip fits.  This took care of my popping and exhaust leakage.

Very nice!!  Like the sound...  I personally LOVE my ExBox system but DAMN was it a PITA to get on.  I eventually had to take it to the local dealer and have them finish the last connection.  They then adjusted the stock ECU and that's it (oh and removed the O2).  I get 50mpg+, runs smooth, sounds great (took out the baffles, and under normal riding, is fairly quiet, and when I get on it or engine brake, jumps in decibels, which is exactly what I wanted), and I like the looks just a bit better than the Booms.  At the time that I did this, if I had been doing my research, I probably would've gone with the Booms, but oh well, I'm very happy (got a good deal as well from MotoCreations)!  Oh, and I had them ceramic coated flat black locally (pipes and exhaust). Definitely one of a kind in my area (let alone PNW)...







If I ever change it out, will look into the Booms!  Nice bikes all!

I don't understand preferring that box sitting down there over a couple of simple pipes...

Tubes all the way.

Got the bike dynoed

Hope this helps people get an idea of what boomtubes sound like at high rpm

Please note I have pods as well so a lot of the induction noise is from that too.

ProTeal, what pc3 will you use for an S2R? I want to do the same but not sure which one people are using.

Thats a good question, which I do not have a answer for at the moment.
I have heard (I do not know for a fact) that Corse Ducati (in WI) has adapted some PCIII to S2R1K's with great results. I had heard this from a few Ducati guys I ran into here in the city one night. They had a few S2R1K's with aftermarket exhausts and raved about how this dealer in WI was able to make their bikes run better than ever before..

If I hear/find out more I will def. post it up here 4 sure...

Hey MotoCreations,

It hasn't been asked in a while (almost 6 months) so here goes: Any word on the 696/1100 set of Boom Tubes?

Still looking for a Northwest 696.  Anyone?

M1100?  First prototype set is almost finished.  We will do exhaust designs other than just BoomTubes for this model as well.  Other stuff for the M1100 -- all I'll say is that we have a lot of people creating a LOT of parts for the 1100 currently! (and most will fit the 696 as well)  More upcoming within the next six plus weeks. (thank you DMF'er Jerry! Wait until you see his bike!)

That is good news about the 1100.  If we are looking at 6 weeks out, I will hold off on buying anything else and just sit on my thumbs... quietly.    I will PM you later to get more info.

I would have to vote Boomtubes.  The Exbox seems like a space aged udder to me.
Here is a sample of Mark's custom work. 




Bike screams with these pipes.  Good bit louder then my Termi's and a hell of a lot sharper sound.

..and look better, keep the rear wheel open, etc...

Yeah, dropping the cans really opens up the ass end.  Fueling the desire to take the whole freakin thing apart, cut the passenger peg mounts, exhaust hanger, and have the frame/swingarm powdercoated.  Then I can lose the side panels without having all of those eyesores hanging out the bottom. 

[ProTeal55]

I hear ya on the brkts and stuff.
I am going to "tackle" that over the winter..
Bike looks too good with the sidecovers off to ever think of putting them back on..
So I am (very carefully) going to remove them from the frame, and have my buddy do alittle touch-up painting once all is done and smooth...

[MotoCreations]

For the M1100 Monster folks -- @85% finished.  Collector/outlets aren't cut to length yet.

Will post pictures with different rearsets as well. (factory ones look like chicken wings!)

Will finish a second outlet configuration as well for this setup as well.

note: as for the parts missing on the M1100? Remember we are doing more than just exhausts for this bike.  I put quite a few parts back onto it for the pictures...
