I am waiting for this clip  :x  

Working on it..
But it sounds pretty wimpy on my laptop..
Its hard to do it justice in a video..

[Phaedrus]

Well post it anyway  :mrgreen:  We wanna hear it! We wanna hear it! *chants*

Hell I'd do it. Looks good, affordable, now if I only had an idea what it sounds like...

Yup I got there just after this thread  

Anyway. what are the dimensions on that WRX can? Inlet/outlet? Length? Did you have to buy any other parts than just the can and to have it welded on?

[cheesy]

more power to you for doing something different, but that looks retarded.

[Altruism111]

There is no way to describe the DEEP, rich, tone this thing produces...
If Barry White was a motorcycle, this is what he would sound like..
One things is for sure, little brother won't be sneaking up on anyone with this baby on his bike..
And it looks d@mn sexy too..

55 dollars *shipped* from e-bay
38.24 Seeberg muffler shop in Springdale, Arkansas to weld it on..

I still need to clean and repaint the welds, but thats all part of it...

Almost all of my acceleration problems have gone away..
Still have a small decell problem, but I think its an air/fuel adjustment..

150 main jets
.40 pilots
2.5 turns A/F
K&N Lunchbox
1 shim on the needle (because I lost the other two and can't find anymore :x )

Don't know what to say about that. Other then you officially have a rice burner motorcycle!   :lol:

Retarded comments aside ... I'd say unusual more than tarded ... its just a surprise ...
The snout at the end of a sport bike can has 1 real world use ... it keeps water out if you park in the rain ... Yours looks like it will take in quite a bit in rain.
Also A carbon wileyco and flange (when CF was available was like $125) I know cos I sold a few ... then they went to SS cos all the CF was sold ... and the price went to 110 with flange ... You spent $98 somehting ... and you also did a bunch of legwork ... I only had like $32 or so in each of the flange I made prior to the recent run ... and the recent ones were cheaper ... quite a bit cheaper ... I'd say $27-28 ... atleast in part cos I didn't destroy that many ... so $110 for no leg work ... all the bits come to your door ... or $98 with you figuring out muffler shops and getting it done ... so not 2 times ... BTW no more wileyco stainless either ... so people are going to have to start thinking in terms of these ... IMHO ... so you may have a opportunity to fill that niche if you so feel like it.
OK here is the final blow ... Your can may leave the bike leaner than 150 will be able to cope with ... OK OK the header is the main culprit and it will kill the flow much worse than anything ... so what you do after the headers wont be of any real consequence ... OK fine ... but your fuel starvation problem ... see if 152.5-155 mains helps it ... if so ... you can is the reason ... now its not really a disadvantage ... you just have to fiddle and fine tune it to be right ... no standard tricks will work for you ... so you find your tuning secrets and pass it back to the people that want to try this.
Basically doing it for yourself is just 1/2 the game ... you gotta pass it on ...
Cool.

I think it looks pretty cool.  No more awkward looking than the wileyco pipes, and not as big.  Kudos!

Someone asked what the dimentions of the can are...
Here is the actual e-bay auction for it..

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1,1&item=7977760668&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT

It is 18 inches long (same as stock)
5.5 inches in diameter..
2.25 inch inlet (although the auction says 2.5)
4 inch outlet (silencer out)

I bought a 2 1/4 to 1 7/8 reducer to weld to the headpipe and the first thing the guy at the muffler shop did was remove it.  :dunno:

He cut 1/2 the length of the intake down and welded directly to the headpipe somehow..  There is also a stress mark under the bike where it looks as if he bent the head pipe to make it hit the intake hole better.

I am currently running

150 mains
.40 pilots
1 shim on the needle
2.5 turns on the A/F mix (bench set and not adjusted further)

Anything else I can tell you about it?

How long are the wileycos?
From the pics I have seen, they must be three feet long..
These are short and phat..

[The Buddha]

They are almost same dimensions as the stock ... yours looks fine till you look at it from behind ... that large end just looks like its off the wall ... also being shiny SS wileyco's draw your eye to it ... yours does the opposite.
Cool.

The Wileyco CF is $113 by itsself, shipped to my location..

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=4543896818&category=35596&sspagename=WD1V

Then add a flange for $45 and you have $163 (fuzzy math) invested in what I got for 90.. :nana:

I don't care what anyone says, that melon shooter opening is bad @ss and draws a LOT of attention going down the road.. :guns:  

I will have to watch getting rain in the pipe.. I hadn't really thought of that..  

[RVertigo]

Well...  If it's stainless, then you don't have to worry as much about rust...  Just CRAP LOADS of water to burn off when you start it up.

I guess we'll need the "6 months of rain" update...  :dunno:

[Faxxxy]

Absolutely..
We will see how much rain it actually sees in 6 months..

Generally they are inside if there is a chance of rain..  :dunno:

Might as well get my .02 in.
Sounds louder doesnt equate to HP. Dyno the thing and lets see what the real numbers on.  I doubt with the restrictions at the header, that you are going to see anything too much beyond stock other than what your rejetting did. Depending on the amount of back pressure ( the WRX being a 4 cyl and all) you might loose a bit running it.
On to the looks department. well............... Ill go with " what ever turns your crank" I oersonally would be ashamed to go in public with a what looks like a fart can car exhaust in fear of being laughed at by everyone who has ever rode a bike. Thats just me tho. Again, you are the one riding it so if you like it that is all that matters.

For whoever asked that is a Duro rear tire. At $38.50 from my local shop yes it is a cheap tire. Mounted it myself. With $2.00 state disposal fee then tax, came to $41.39. Closest size available to stock is 140/70-17. Looked way too wide and flat until I got air into it. Seems to ride just fine at a cruising speed of "indicated" 80-90 mph.

This had nothing to do with HP..
When I bought the bike, it was a piece of sh!t..
It idled great, but that was it.. It didint go down the road.. :x

Had I known that before I made the 4 hour drive home with it in the back of the truck, I would have never bought it.. :x

The moron who had it before me put a lunchbox on a stock pipe..
Although there were MAJOR exhaust leaks around the header, it still was too restrictive to handle the lunchbox and the wild 147.5 jets he stuck in the carbs only seemed to aggrivate the situation..

I took it all back to factory in the carbs and it ran just okay until I could afford to put a straight through exhaust on it..

It has taken me nearly two months to undo all the crap this moron did to this bike, but other then a fuel delivery problem, it is finally mechanically lined out..

So far everyone who has seen it in person has loved it..

Now we get to start doing cosmetic work!!!!    :mrgreen:      :lol:  :lol:
