Custom Pipes are In!

Have you still got your original pipes???
Might not be what you wanted but if you stick them back on at least you can still ride for this summer.

No, I had to use the headers from the original pipes to have these made up. The new pipes are welded right up an inch or so down the original headers. If you look close, you can see.
 

Cobba, yes Sam done a double skin heat shield, one piece full length chromex finish..Superb jobbie

Hey, the most important thing of all is that your dog gets better, wolf.

Believe me when i say that the only person that you have to please with how you kit your bike is you.

The dyno info would be nice to know, but its not all that important unless you're going to market your creation.

Good luck and good riding!
 
phil---ya outa run fer office !!

ya is all fer dyno stats initially---now ya just want ta make sure dog is ok !! ha!! i'm voting fer ya!!
 
on the only proper color for the r3 -chick magnet blue- john... created a perforated ss screen and a braided ss baffles for them.. there is also a "balanacer" connector tube between them that is covered by the 1 piece shield.. that shield was "fun" to make.. about 18 hours to make that shield .. finish grind and double wall it

Got a video of (sort of) the pipes sound with some throttle. I was right at the last dregs in the gas-tank, so she didn't want to run at all... I'll get a better video another time with my actual camera instead of my ****ty phone. Have been futzing with the tune this morning after working a long graveyard shift, so don't listen to me muttering about it being lean at the end.

The Jardines tune is lean, and the bike does not like it. The Preds tune I have seems too rich, so I need to find a balance between the two. Totally trying to avoid having to come up with 500 for the Dyno, so I can ride sometime before six to eight months from now.
