 Now just ceramic coat that black or polish it and finish it with a nice rainbow tip and it'll be the tits. How does it sound btw?

I was leaning towards wrapping it from weld to weld and then leave the rest of it raw stainless but I have not ruled out ceramic coating or Jet Hot.... The sound scares neighborhood children and old ladys....

What I meant was not the little stubby bit, but the connection between said stubby bit to the "upswoopy" bit.  |

I will snap a picture when I get a free minute. He used a pinch bolt to connect the mid-pipe to the oem header pipe. I'm not crazy about it but unless you kneel down and look for it, it isnt very noticeable.

I love the simplicity, its what Monsters are all about, maybe ceramic coated black but I like the rawness, well done. Could I ask, How much? And Did you build it yourself or did a machine shop do the bends for you? Mmick |

Seems very "Harley-esque". That being said I had considered something like that when I bought my first Monster in 2005. I went with a custom made boom-tube style exhaust on that bike and liked it much better.
I'm sure it's loud as F*CK!

I always liked the look of the stock bends On the S2R but have never been a fan of exhaust "cans". That's basically how I arrived at the design. I had an exhaust shop perform the fabrication.
The license plate bracket was the real PITA....

Pipes look ok to me. I think if you were to remove the beer tray & relocate the license plate underneath the seat, just behind the shock it would look way better. That placement of the license reminds me of Harley's and cruiser's. |

That's where I have mine. Much nicer looking location. Plus, depending on where you live, that plate might cause you some trouble with the local LEO... |

I hope this works out for you. Looks like it's really loud. Have you riden it for a distance yet?
I recently did an exhaust on mine, too. I used the vert. pipe from my Leo Vince 2into1 with a 2 1/8" in x 2 1/2" out stainless steel reverse cone muffler. It looks incredible and sounds fantastic.......under 4 grand. Above that it's just plain intolerable. Over-the-top loud. I installed a 2 1/2" DB killer which made it bearable but then I didn't like the way it sounded. I had to take it off. It's a shame.
