New headers and exhaust

Miami78 · Oct 20, 2012

Never had the bike torn down this far...was pretty intimidating. A huge thanks the theMelvster6 (pictured)...would not have been able to do it without him! Also a huge thanks to d_adams for doing such a great job on the project...very impressed with his work!

Tomorrow she's getting a bath and a photoshoot, finished pictures will be posted then...in the meantime, here are some teasers:

[up] but you did not have to tilt the motor to change the pipes, or were you doing something else too?

theMelvster6 · Oct 21, 2012

I know, I know. I put in exhaust seals also (which tend to be a pain)...mainly I just wanted plenty of room to work with and "jiggle" things around. haha Btw...I've been dreaming of new exhaust for mine now...THANKS A LOT BUDDY!! LOL It sounds BEAUITFUL...A youtube vid wouldn't do it justice!

Bad Ass!

Wow, I am so impressed with this new system. At idle it's a little quieter than my GB...almost along the lines of a mellow d&d. But when I get on it the thing screams. Sounded great at highway speeds, also not quite as loud as the GB, but a really nice bassy note to it. I still have the tune on it from my spec ops pipe, and that really seems to be gettin along with the ti-keda (I guess that's what I'll call it?)...lower speed/rpm is much smoother and the popping on decel is significantly reduced. Going to datalog again and see if it needs any tweaking, but right now I think it's pretty damn close.

Dean, I gotta say, you did a damn good job on these...even the ceramic coaters commented on how well the silencers were put together. Thanks again!

Man, those headers look beefy[up] great job!

Miami78 · Oct 22, 2012

Yeah they are, 2" diameter.

One thing I need to figure out now is how to fit a RSS back on. The front header tube comes up significantly higher than the oem headers, there is zero chance of getting my original RSS on there again. Might be chopping up my RSS in the near future....

stellio78 · Oct 22, 2012

Looks great Miami, just need to get the shock & tensioner springs powder costed black now.

And I won't bother about the RSS as it will cover up some of those beautiful headers.

I agree! I too wanted to keep my RSS. Those TI Force headers are bad ass!

We sounded like thunder rollin past all those folks the other night...so many windows went up! I love it!

Miami78 · Oct 22, 2012

Hell yeah we did! That was pretty awesome, we need to go riding again soon!

Hi Miami,

Headers look great.

What brand are they? or are they custom?

They're a cut up set of Ti-Force pipes, the previous owner of the pipe cut it off at the front of the muffler. I made a new left side pipe and a set of mufflers for it.

Here's how they started out.

onelogue · Dec 19, 2012

d_adams is the man! [up] The one guy I'd send my exhaust to for repairs/ mods.

d_adams · Dec 19, 2012

Btw, other than being cut off right under the engine, there wasn't really anything wrong with that set of headers.
