Does anyone happen to have the new vandemon exhaust manifold, and know if the competition werkes exhaust fits with it? From the pictures I've seen, it does look like it sits a little bit higher than the stock manifold.
If someone has both installed, pics would be awesome.
I just installed the Competition Werkes Exhaust on my rocket. The new laser cutout logo goes super well with the bike (see photos). I know I read on here before if you can remove the empty left side mount but I can not seem to find it again. It appears to just be held on behind the kickstand but...
I have tightened the muffler clamps on my new Vandemon exhaust a few times since installing it. They do not provide any instructions whatsoever and have not yet responded to my email asking this. I'm talking about the 2 clamps securing the pipe assembly to each muffler. The system is made out of...
What methods are recommended to clean these black bits on the stainless without ruining the finish?
I remember some discussion about this a while back but can't seem to find it.
Have anyone first hand experience of running an Ixil exhaust with factory panniers fitted ?
I've contacted the seller who says there's no issue. I've contacted Ixil and they say they can't guarantee compatibility.
I had settled for the Competition-Werkes slip on (quick and dirty) but now am reconsidering as I always liked the Vandemon better for appearance and supposedly sound and the beast deserves it. Please note that this is a present for my bike and not for myself. I already have the Penner tune which...
So it’s been about 2 months in the making, shipping , local ceramic coating etc.
specs, 25 storm R, vandeamon titanium header and bivalve exhaust, and moto gt tuning. Haven’t had it on the highway yet, but the 5 mile trek to work is impressive.
I tried to search the forums and could not find a definitive answer.
Will replacing the stock cat/muffler with a Competition Werkes slip-on exhaust void the Manufacturer Warranty on a pretty new (only 350 odo miles) 2025 R3 Storm GT?
This machine is great, just too quiet for me and these NJ...
hello,
I had left over 2.5 inch pipe so I made this straight pipe slipon(second image below)
two questions -
1. tell me pros and cons of straight pipe vs the werkes like slipon i made few months ago
2. how long should I cut the straight pipe I built today...
Hi guys, I've bought a used exhaust so I can make the Meerkat mod to it without the chance of fu**** up my original, I've got the ver 2 PDF from Pete at Meerkat Mufflers and I've looked at Magoo69's post on the subject, so pretty confident. Only thing I have a question about is the mention in...
Hi, my Rocket's 3R stock exhaust system during the drive, fires up my trousers, who knows what to do? Maybe there is some oem heat shield, which is larger and will guard trousers? Thanks! Any advise?
Hey good folks,
I placed an order for the exhaust a couple days back. Got an email last night that since they’re custom orders they’re out of stock right now and will “likely” ship in 6 weeks. Is this the usual case with them? I just don’t want to be in a situation that they don’t ship for...
I'm moving to Japan this spring and bringing a 2006 Rocket Classic. The Government of Japan has emission and braking standards for all motorcycles. Do you know where I can find the standards? The most current I can find is an article from 2017.
I'm looking to replace my current exhaust (Competition Werkes) with something else, I have been searching here and other sites and found some interesting exhaust for sure but most seem to be in UK. I do really like the Carpenter Racing header and pipe as it looks really nice, my 06 Classic is...
I am not having the best of luck at all lately. First a brake failure now this. The right side can wont accept the bolt all the way due to the hole they drilled into the mounting tab not being centered see attached. I bent it a little just to let it get in this far but it's obvious that's not...
Found out this by accident, as Competition Werkes don't advertise this on their product page. After I ordered, I complained that their logo (colorful one) appears to smudge over a few years and look bad enough, that some customers preemptively paint the logo black before the first install. I...
Hello, have any of you swapped out your stock exhaust caps? If so were you able to get them off without removing the whole exhaust? Looks like there is a hex bolt on the inside of the caps close to the frame of the bike so I'm wondering if I need to take the whole exhaust off or find a special...
Hi all, got a question.
I’ve a 2010 Classic with a fully standard exhaust and Cat. I would like to know, will a 2011 Roadster collector pipe fit my Classic? I’ve found some after market Cans from a Roadster, so need to fit a collector pipe.
Hello, I'm the new owner of a 2025 R3 Storm but I'm kind of regretting not getting the previous version with the stainless pipes. Looking at part diagrams, it kind of seems that if I change to the stainless headers and add the catbox cover, heat shields, and stainless end caps it would...
