I just purchased the stuff from Srinath this weekend and have it installed on my bike.  Here are some pics if you want to see how great it looks.  The one pic is my bike with an old beat up Cobra F1 exhaust.  Such a big difference!!  The bike sounds great now!!!  Has a low, superbike growl to it now!!!

hmm... does it have to be installed at an angle so parallel to the ground?  (or is that just how you like it?)

I agree. It does look kind of low. I bet it sounds awesome though! And uhhhh.........you need a new rear tire bud.

I would imagine that in order to fit the pipe properly and set it at a higher angle, you'd have to bend the header pipe.  The further forward you mount it, the flatter the pipe, but it can't hang back too far!!! The rear tire is already on order, thanks for the head's up, though!!!

Its the exact same location as stock exhaust ... considering its a shade larger dia than stock ... no where else to mount it. Honestly it fits exactly like stock... even almost the same length... compare it to yours and it will come within a few mm here and there. His cobra is so high ...It has a set of dog legs in it and it fits on the headers right under the motor it makes the wileyco look like its hanging down a lot more too ...
Cool.

The pipe good but is the tip angled?  It looks like it points towards the tire

I bet it sounds great though.  Is it louder than the Cobra?  The GS has a pretty cool bassy rumble with an exhaust

70 cam: Snout is angled a bit more to the tire than on a regular application of the can. However the slip on and even the weld on flanges can be turned to make it look right ... This pipe was hacked in the wrong place and I made the best of it. So its off a bit to the left.
Weaselnose: If you definetely didn't want to rejet... I'll put a removable choker in it ... and when you want full flow just knock it off and you're good.
Cool.

is there a way the flange can be made so that the can points up?
wileyco, K&N pod, rejet 22.5/65/147.5, F16 flyscreen, progressive springs, 15t front sprocket...more to come: katana shock

Blueknyt

what would one cost me 1/2 the length of that can?

Yes Frost, there is a way.  

I ordered one of srinath's cans and should be done in the next couple of weeks...sooner than later I hope.  I plan on cutting off the header after the merger collector and buying some straight tube stock and an elbow and running it at a similar angle as adamwade's Cobra.  Probably parallel with the bottom line on the side plastic.  Though it could feasably be done with a series of slip-ons, it's just shoddy.  Weld it or have it welded.

Plan of attack:  I think I'm going to weld the elbow onto the can adapter plate, strap it onto the rear set, then set the can to the angle I like(I want to use the rear set mount if possible), make a plumb cut on the elbow, then run the straight tube stock directly back to the merger collector, avoiding having to make any bends to make it match up.   Maybe I'd be able to use a little wedge of elbow tube if necessary.  Or, I could start at the front and work back, havn't decided yet which way would be more beneficial.  I have decided, though, that I will tack weld all of the pieces in place while the exhaust is mounted to the bike, then remove it to finish my welds and clean them up, if necessary. ;)

The key point with headers is: the less bends, the better.  So, with that in mind, while adamwade's header is better from a performance standpoint, I prefer the look of a more angled header.  And we aren't talking about a substantial loss of power with such a minor bend...  I don't even know if it would be detected by a dyno.

Blue, I don't think there are any more for sale, and definitely no special orders.  srinath bought out all the dennis krook scratch and blemish stock.

Srinath, I really like the looks of your products. Is there any web page you have where I can see everything you make along with your prices?

The Buddha

OK guys...
Frost : UP ...where ... honestly it can point anywhere ... how much effort are you willing to put in.
Bluknyt: What....
Dom: You fabbing all that pipe etc... Fine up to you.
Duofes: I'll post a link with pics. I dont make these things all the time BTW... and I bought these as closeouts and blems (not Dennis Crook off ebay) but from anysunday racing off ebay - better stuff Dennis crook just had stainless ... and the blemishes are getting worse and worse as their $$$ drops  :x . Denins Crook on ebay is selling them ...whihc is why I posted it.
Now These are meant to be slipped on and fit just like stock can. The one Adam has, on my bike fit just like the stock one did. I had got the headers as a trade form this other guy that had started to chop the thing in the wrong place and the wrong angle... so its fit is a shade off but its off to the side not lower. Its about 1 inch or so further right than a stock can. Now with all you guys hacking up pipe and welding it which ever way... OK dont blame me if it ends up costing you $$$ at the muffler shop. I was trying to package it so no welding will be needed. "Bigorange" has managed to d what I intended... just ask him if he had any trouble.
Now Dom you would be better off with a centered flange instead of an offset I think. How about I send you a flat round plate as well wihtout a damn anyhitng it in... you can do what you want ...
Cool.
Srinath.

srinath, I think a plate with a centered hole would be best.  I can't remember, was the plate made out of 1/4" or 1/8"?  Can you make one with the three countersunk mounting holes but no exhaust opening?

adamwade

70 Cam Guy:  The pipe is actually quieter than the Cobra.  The Cobra had a very annoying and loud sound that I nor my neighbors really cared for.  Sounded like a bike with no muffler at all.  As for the WileyCo exhaust can, it has a deep throathy rumble to it.  Sounds to me to be very similar to a Ducati Monster.  I think it actually makes the bike sound more like a true sport bike.  To be honest, at idle, it's pretty darn quiet.  But, when you open it up, it screams nice!!!  I'll try and get some video with sound and post it.

OK I can do that... the plate is 1/4 inch thick BTW.
Cool.

OK guys I been thinking ... on the exhaust flanges ...
If you didn't want a slip fit ... I'll send you a offset hole flange without the lip - BTW that is the only option for 01+ bikes. Better to weld to... that lipjust adds 1/2 inch to the length too ...
Then if you wanna do custom pipe work like Dom is planning ... I'll send you a flange with bolt holes only and bolts ... no hole for the pipe ... you punch that yourself.
The slip fit flange and the whole method is in fact geared towards fitting it in the same location as stock exhaust can. So if you want different ... you're sorta going to have to fit it with some welding, cutting, bending ... whatever.
Cool.
Srinath.

BTW the plate is over 1/4 inch thick... closer to 32-33 hundredths or 5/16th ...
