Hi.
I have an '09 Monster 1100S and I'm considering my options regarding exhaust.
My first question would be:
Do Evo pipes work for my bike?
Second question:
Has anyone here gone from stock headers to 70 mm?
Thank-you.

70 mm is probably pointless. Only if the intake and combustion required 70 mm to be in harmony. An 1100 two valve bike won't get around the corner if it was tuned to a degree where it needs 70mm.

There's a sticky thread about 696/796/1100 exhaust mods.

I don't think there's enough horsepower there to need 70mm.

One of my customers has a HYP1100Evo, it has a super nice aftermarket exhaust, from memory it tapers up from stockish to *maybe* 50mm.
I can get more accurate numbers, as I've got a slightly squarshed lower headpipe in my exhaust bin.

Thank-you.
In this case it's not for power.
It's for sound.

If bigger headers are not practical or sensible, who makes the deepest sounding exhausts for my bike?

40mm at the head, tapering up to 45mm about 150mm downstream.

Have a look at Sparks carbon twin can set up which comes with pipe work that gets rid of the flapper valve, it's a beautiful system that's a lot neater than termi's and sounds awesome plus it shows off the rear wheel rather than hiding it which some replacement systems do.

Spark has an under-seat system for EVOs...
Love my Arrow cans, and I know cans with bigger inside volume will tend to be deeper. The trademark Ducati boom is good for my ears and my spirit, especially in the mountains where I live.
SP Engineering has 'big bore' cans, stubby and full-length.
Would prefer something carbon and Italian, but not dead set on the latter. Does Termi offer big bore slip-ons?
Thanks, Speeddog, but if they grew to 70, that would be more compelling.

Just out of curiosity, how do you plan to route some 70mm pipes?

Not entirely certain, but I was counting on my good old Scottish ingenuity to find a way.
Through the frame with a removable oval section maybe, or giving up the under-seat configuration if I had to.
A good, creative fabricator and I could find a way, I think, but I'm willing to compromise.
If I have to resort to the biggest, deepest slip-ons I can get with the current pipes, that wouldn't devastate me or anything.
It's not that I'm disappointed in how it sounds.
The Arrows I have now with db killers out already sound very good.
