Hey has anyone put one of these crazy looking "tailgunner"exhausts on their rocket yet?Quite a strange beast indeed!Bit unsure 'bout it myself :? , but full marks for originality! :lol: :?SOUND GOOD:twisted: made in the USAtailgunnerexhausts.com.au
 
Yep, I love mine. Sounds good. Growls.

Just give it a shot of oil every now and again and your good to go. That's my bike in the ad.





 
Dunringill,
I investigated these when I was looking for my exhaust. I was really interested in the "Jet" B-52 exhaust. I e-mail the company and have never heard a word back. Would you post a video or sound bite with your bike. Oh yeh, "Give'r the Gun!" I want to hear those things with a 3 cylinder roaring into it.

I want one!! I want one!!
I cannot imagine this bike with a **** turbo...I would kill myself!

...or kill the bike like my poor Mistress. Still sitting in the shop. :cry:

If I ever went to a single exhaust I'd be going for those guns. That turbo application is pretty custom though. I want to know how easy it'd be to fit on stock headers.
 
Dunringill, do you mind doing a little video of that exhaust spinning with a good amount of throttle? I'd sure like to see. I'll be happy to do the legwork of posting a web video if you send me the clip.
 
I'll try to get to it, my little camera will only record for like a minute or so.

You'd be surprised at how it sounds after about an hour on the road when the turbo comes in under load.
 
theres a video of the muffler on a v-twin going up the road on their website if you want to see and hear it in action.
I would have thought the engine would have a bit of trouble adjusting to variable back pressure from an exhaust.Wouldnt it throw the ECM out?
 
You might think that, but in fact it's the opposite.

An engine has to do more adjusting when the back pressure is consistent all the time.

This is how I understand it, plz correct me if I am wrong here.

An engine's top end performance is best when it breathes freely.
So straight pipes give the best top end performance.
However, they create idle/low end problems.

The tailgunner gives you that backpressure until it starts to spin. Once spinning the back pressure is reduced the exhaust flows freely. Best of both worlds. While traditional exhausts with a fixed back pressure are tuned to a happy medium.
