custum exhaust

[drowningbird808]

so today i got bored and was looking at slip on and realized that i should try something before i fork out 200 bucks
so i got my sawzaw, and cut the stock "cap" off and took out the baffle and muffler, the i pry'd off the stainless cover and cut half the exaust off..
then tacted the cap back on
the performance is amazing besides the fact that its a hair lean cuz im running 142.5 mains
but tomoror im gonna get welding gas and finish welding then smooth it out and it should loook good
the can looks good being only half its size
i highly reccomend it for you guys with limited funds or if you know wat your doing
its easy u just need a sawzaw with a metal cutting blade a pry bar, hammer, pliers and , a welding machine, well worth it in my opinion it took 30 minutes now im waiting for the flange and then i should be riding

do you have any baffles at all or is it just a empty can? I took the can off and ran the bike with just the baffles and it was friggin loud and I loved it.

[drowningbird808]

jsut the can lol
mine is pretty loud now but once i weld the cap all the way back on, it shouldnt be that bad lol
im realy satisfied with th performance.. i was gonna keep part of the muffler but i got lazy and said screw it

[ohgood]

Did you dyno it ? You stated something about performance.

[mach1]

Is it a crappy high note or a deep strong note?

To get it burbly, buy a baffle from a car parts place and stuff it in there and weld it up.
Cool.

no dyno but i can feel the power i may have gain 3-5 some where around there
it sounds good wen i get into it but at idle it sounds bad lol but wat do u expect for 0$

[drowningbird808]

ill post pics and a video in a couple days
i live in orlando and i dont think theres any dyno shops here but ill try to find out

[wesius]

I have been thinking about doing something like this to my exaust! Could you post pics or a video please? Thanks

Seat of pants dyno isn't all that reliable. I myself mistook a 10hp midrange loss for a 10hp high range gain on another bike.

Top speed would be a better indication under identical circumstances.

i think I usually gain about 2-3 horse when I wash and wax my fairings.  I got my windshield to stop rattling and I'm pretty sure that added at least 8 horse

its the speed of sound
