MotoCreations Boom Tubes exhaust for the S4RS

[ProTeal55]

I am pretty much set on wanting to get a setup for my 07 S2R1K.
I read this whole post, but I have to ask when (estimate) will these be available for purcahse 4 the S2R1K ??

Late Oct last I heard....

Sound clips
1st one:  It appears the tabs holding the pipes together snapped. The fwd cyl shakes around a bit. The production pipes will have a crossover and this won't be a problem.



2nd one:  Just after startup, pulling away, closing throttle clip ends with me about 1000 ft away.

OMG! It sounds like a furious dinosaur. I love it!

I cannot wait for the production boom tubes as well (I have been harassing Mark at motocreations for some time).

Since we are on this topic I might as well share some of my issues with fuel mapping that I brought up on TOB.

I am wanting to use boom tubes in conjunction with the Beast TPO Type R intake pods for my 08 S2r1k.  This board has brought to my attention that several other people are worried about the O2 sensor and the issues with the bike already running lean from the factory.  That being said and having done alot of research, I am comfortable that with the O2 sensor bypass ($80 from fatduc) in conjunction with a PCIII using motocreations fuel maps should alleviate any ECU issues I should face.  Luckily for me I am in Baghdad until February of 2009, so I have plenty of time to get what I want out on paper as a start to the potential problem set I am going to face in the future with the tuning on the setup I want to run with, aside from a great set of earplugs)

Any of the smart guys care to confirm/deny and check my work care to comment, I would appreciate the feedback!

Thanks for all the answers Mark at motocreations, and I promise I will stop sending you emails and let you get back to work!

No problem!

FYI: I had to change exhaust vendors as the first one flaked on me after four months of delays.  #2 is full stream ahead.  4V's are waiting in the production queue.  Just fitted the S2R800/S2R1000 pre-production units yesterday/today from the new tooling made.  They go to the production queue next week.  It's taken MUCH LONGER than ever planned (I have too many sleepless nights because of it) -- so excuse the delay.  Updates to the website will happen shortly for those on the database to start placing deposits / taking orders.  Then will make available to the general public once those systems are delivered.  Thanks everyone!

DAM! That $hit sounds mean!

Lemme know Mark if you are still interested/able to sell me some testa flanges.  I've got about a dozen requests to make exhausts, and my "machinist" seems about as reliable as the exhaust guy who flaked out on you.

The facility has over 350 workers at the one location on the West Coast -- problem was the engineering department not having their act together nor very motivated.  Newer place is a bit smaller but is deadline driven and responds promptly and still meets my rigorous specification demands.  Night and day difference to be honest in terms of getting things done to deadlines!

Headers will be available as standalone parts in early 2009. 

One of the things that has bugged me about aftermarket exhaust systems is that if you damage something, you are essentially screwed and have to buy a complete replacement system -- you can't get spare parts.  Thus for BoomTubes riders who later damage them ala accident / tip-over / etc, we are putting together a replacement parts system to help one get their full system functioning again without having to buy everything again.

Wait, you mean you're thinking of your customers?  You're trying to make a product that stands the test of time? 

I may just have to give you my business, if that's the way you're going to be.

It's always good to find a "hungry" company to work with.  Unfortunatly, most of the good ones don't stay hungry for long.  The really good ones are talanted and motivated, and tough to find!


Now, about those flanges...

Time to revive the thread. Got an email from Mark saying that they're going into production. The wife and I juggled some things around and it looks like I got the go ahead to get my new exhaust!

Iterations to follow within 60-90 days after the above ship are for the 695, 620, 800, 900, HyperMotard, S2R800 and S2R1000 -- and the 696.

Website doesn't mention these being available for the 620. Have you given up on them?

Mark/ Motocreations,

Do you have any sound clips of the 'tubes with the "Quieter baffle option"? Or how would you compare the baffled sound with an unbaffled full Arrow system? I thought others may be interested as well.

*Update*

We soft launched S2R800, S2R1000 and S4RS BoomTube exhaust systems last week to the contact database who have been so patient in their wait for a true manufactured/production system.  A couple of S2R800 and S2R1000 systems already shipped to a few folks.  Remainder will ship @December 10th in volume.  @5 days later for systems that are ceramic coated.

Introductory price is $695 and includes T304 - 1.75in OD stainless steel tubing, three-part system (headers and collector w/crossover), stainless steel spring clips, exhaust tips and all flange/exhaust collar requirements for mounting.  Free shipping for all systems ordered by Dec 31st, 2008 in the lower 48 USA.

Primary options are: ceramic coating (int/ext) for $115/system in seven optional colors.  And we are currently finishing optional exhaust tip variations and an even quieter baffle setup -- prices TBD before final shipment. (or can be upgraded later)

We are "hard launching" the exhausts this week for general enthusiasts.  Awaiting a few proofreads and pictures before pushing on the website. (and I got bombarded this weekend with non-MotoCreations demands)  We are processing orders though for the past few days.  And we will have an advertising banner in the upper right corner of this cool website sometime this week!  It was the members of the DML/DMF that helped inspire us to do these as a true manufactured/production system instead of my continual one-off systems I've been building for years.  Perk of the manufactured/production system is we had *spare parts* available that will fit without problem in case you damage your Ducati -- no need to buy an entire replacement system to replace just one component.

Per the video/soundclips -- we will have those @mid-December via  a few customers.  In general though -- unbaffled BoomTubes are LOUD LOUD LOUD - but I have 20+ customers who run them in this configuration. (I don't -- it's too loud for myself personally)  Standard baffles is civilized in town < 5500 rpm -- LOUD if you are ripping through the countryside at high rpm -- it sounds like a racebike.  The quieter baffles I'm awaiting delivery of currently, they are based upon one-off variations I have done for folks though -- quieter in town than regular baffles -- but still pretty loud when > 5500 rpm. (probably @3db quieter than regular baffles)

Important note -->  It's taken quite a bit of effort and a few false starts (various outsourced manufacturers) to get these to market.  We are proud to have a unique quality product that is 100% manufactured in the USA.  And it's just the start of many products that will be rolling out the door here in the upcoming months!
