Under seat exhaust?

[DucNaked]

No problem Raux, can't wait to see what your scheming on!!

Anyway,

Here is the finished product of the the new stainless mid-pipe and the dual tip with the rear half polished....(Michelle should be excited now...). The mid-pipe flows a lot better with the lines of the bike now....At least in my honest opinion....

I think these look great, but I have a question. Is it me, or does the plastic near the seatlock look melted?

[2-Skinny]

Might just be a reflection... if they have the fender chop kit on the bottom panel is replace with a steel plate so that shouldn't be a problem anyways.

Good eye rollout, it looks melted to me as well.

Needs more ceramic composite bling.  And if the F/A ratio is off, the kevlar pants might be a good idea too.

  this is great. i almost want to buy a 696/1100 just to get this exhaust. great work guys! if only you could fab up something shweet for my 749...

You guys do have good eyes, the very first prototype we had on there was responsible.  The exhaust gas on the first prototype directed the air right onto the key box.  We have since had 5 revisions to get the temp down.  So far, no further problems or melting.  The production box features 2 vertical fences instead of one to help with this.  If I was to do it over again, I wouldn't even use the DP tail chop kit, in fact the CW one is the best with this exhaust since it all sits flush with everything.  As far as the rider and passenger temps, you are much less likely to feel the effects of heat with the under tail exhaust.

Whats up Ryan.. I see why i havent heard from you in months now. Pipes look good man. You need to give me a call so i can see these guys in person and so we can grab a beer..

Yay all is done! WE have in stock now and are ready to ship this thing out...

Here are the pics of the production box mounted and with a sound clip.

The GP exhaust is in the prototype phase still it will be done in April and available in May.  Here are some better pics of the production Rhodan Box (Black Ceramic Coated) and stainless midpipe.

Wow that sounds great! Say, if i drive up there you wanna make one of those for my bike i would be alright with that....tucson to chandler aint that bad 

[hcomp]

Sure no problem we can arrange that!

[greenohawk69]

Wow...nice job.  The Rodan box sounds great and the chrome/polished tips look sweet also.

Just got my Rhodan box in the mail today... It's installed and sounds amazing! Deep loud rumble... Cannot wait to ride it.  to Ryanracer

It's a fantastic idea and I love some of the pre-release setups, but I don't love the box.  Maybe it can grow on me, but IMHO the bike has very organic curves and the box sort of competes with that.

Also, it's set so far down, it's blasting the exhaust right under the mudguard and against the tail.  When you are stopped, that will become a baffle for exhaust gases meaning they won't eject away from the bike.

Might heat the pillion up too some.

if I could get it with a different tip/box, I'd probably get one.  Workmanship looks top notch!

I just installed the box last night... Does not come near the mudgaurd or tail. The box in the pics by ryanracer make it look much bigger than it actually is, seeing how the bike is so small, but I was suprised at the size of it and that it fits the bike perfect.

The exhaust does not heat up anything on the bike, I let it run for a good 10 min getting up to normal operating temp and then felt around the license plate, under seat, mud guard, etc and did not feel anything hot or in danger of melting. They also provide a sheet of reflective heat resistant material that has an adhesive so you can place it under the seat to protect anything that might be in danger.

Here are some pics from my phone, not the greatest quality.....








This exhaust sounds great! Much better than my quat-d did, plus it's very unique in it's look. The exhaust note is loud, yet refined sounding.

I like the box's look, but a pair of ceramic coated twice tubes would also be awesome to have... The great thing about this setup is that the tips can be changed. This whole unit comes with the box(or tips, cone, or whatever you buy), and a new midpipe. The tips and mid-pipe disconnect allowing the user to switch tips depending on what look they want or if they want to experiment with their own design.

So, not only are you getting the rhodan box, GP cone, or twin tubes... but a whole new midpipe.... This exhaust setup really leaves the bike open to a ton of possibilities for a custom exhaust.

Wow! I love it! Sign me up for a black Rhodan. (That is after I replace the bike I just sold. ) Honestly, amazing work.
