Title: exhaust question
Post by: oz353 on April 22, 2012, 10:44:52 AM
i want to make my bike a bit louder and breath better. what are everyones thoughts on this exhaust? what jetting should i use with a lunchbox filter, with a stock filter, with pod filters?

right now the bike has a stock air filter, and stock muffler with holes drilled in the baffle. i think its running a bit lean and am experiencing the fuel starvation issue after about an hour and a half cruise at 80-90 mph constant. (turnpike ride)  i think a pingle in conjunction with a crfx petcock will resolve that. im not certain which is the culprit for the fuel starvation...the tank petcock or the frame one.

comments and suggestions please!

Super easy.  I just used my heat gun on the header and a dead blow mallet and pounded it on, then stuck a clamp on it.  Still need to do the bracket that was included with it but not in a rush.  For the money I'd say you can't go wrong.  I really liked how small it is.  Inspired by the great Seamax, I wanted something tucked under and small.  Thanks again for posting this redge.  Who know what I would've found otherwise.

cough up the $ for a full system. Its worth it, see f you can get one here for cheap. With the lunch box, and v&h exhaust, i'm running 22.4, 65, 145, 2.5 turns, and running very well, a bit rich.

sorry i cant really justify spending 2-300 dollars for an exhaust when i only paid 800 for the bike. besides im trying to go for the short look.
