I'm fed up now!

It's literally a straight through full system (headers back) kind of short. Where the three pipes meet it's only a small curved pipe into the very open 10" can.

It was custom made in Sao Paulo , Brazil. Sorry, can't really say more than that about it.
 
I just bit the bullet one afternoon and bought a relay and had a length of 24g wire and just cut that for all the connections. Bought some insulated spade conectors to fit on the relay, found a nearby screw on the frame for ground, tied into a wire coming from the + battery and tied in between the original relay conectors where the two halves conect together. Took all of about 15 mins.

The siemens relay came with a metal bracket which handily sloted in between the battery and its metal holding frame.

This was by far and away the most satisfying fix to date, even more so than curing my high idle at turnover due to a gap on the first throttle body from a kinked ring clamp on the intake plenum.

Now I'm still thinking about the triples and removing secondaries, which, to be honest, I haven't totally convinced myself about. I know I have a 1 piece 3-1 exhaust, no cat, no o2, no baffles, 3.5" open can, but it just seems to run so well and I'm not sure what I would really gain from it. Even with my stock air set up and Waynes triples/jars tune from tuneecu, it goes like nothing else and just has some loud popping between 3200-4300rpm which is handy because I know exactly where I am in the rev range when it starts and stops popping.

I guess what I really fear is almost detuning by adding the extra flow of the K&N's and removing secondaries, even though Wayne designed the tune with K&N's in place.

Would love some honest opinions or suggestion to go down that route or actually leave it as it is and stay stock air. Pro's and con's etc.

Oh dear, I'm at it again, someone convince me one way or the other, PLEEAASSEE!!:D

Thanks again.

Fit the triples and set the secondaries to 100% open with TuneECU.. leave em in there.

Save yourself dropping little screws down the intake then removing the head to get em out and waiting for head gasket and other parts from distant dealers...

Hell rocky make it easy for ya self ;)

Convinced ?????? :cool:
 
Denssell, you are a good man, I like your style. I'm popping back to London in December so I'll probably get some then. Final question about them, can I just leave the crankcase tube in place if I leave the stock filter in place:)
 
Just FYI - I left the connection to the now empty box in place (too difficult to access) and placed a foam filter to the inlet hole inside the box. Easy peasy.
 
Here is a picture of the stainless steel exhaust I built for my Rocket. A little different but made sence to me...





While I am at it here is my other bike 540 CI all alluminum Merlin Engine 600HP>
 
Thanks 1olbull for that, looks like i'll be leaving the filter in then, don't care for any storage. Just the air temp sensor to add on. Hopefully I'll gain some ponies.

Honker, that exhaust looks awesome, well done there! And that 600hp thing you have, holy cow!!

I love this stuff.

Hey Rocky,
Just to be clear - I removed my stock air filter and used triple K&Ns. This is a HUGE improvement IMHO and should be done in order to correctly utilize any non OEM exhaust system.
Just my 2 denar worth,
1olbull
PS: I don't use the old filter box space for storage . . . at least for now.
Hmmmmmmm . . . now that I think of it; it likely would properly fit a pint or two of Gentleman Jack.
