Build your own Buell exhaust...

Beautiful up there, but too far for now. I am trying to get some guys to ride up there with me to the International Motorcycle Show in January.

an intersting note is in one of my old Battle2Win magazines they did many exhaust tests. One where just for kicks they threw on a cherry bomb glass pack pipe from the auto store and the bike lost power.

yes exhaust isn't like everyone thinks , you can just throw big pipes on the motor and think your doon. you have to figure the tourqe curve and power you want. and then start from there.If I ever get my xb12s done I will post pics.

I did the gutting of the muffler like LeFox has up.
The power band was kind of weak up to 3500 and then it will rip you off the bike.
I went back to the stock muff after my engine started running hotter.
The computer needs remaping for this to work right.

i did the gut as well i will post a vid on sat. the bike did ping in the summer but with the race ecm no pinging. the same power band below 3500 not much but above 4000 it was very strong

i gutted the stock pipe on my 07xb12r yesterday. didnt take long (less than 3 hours from me driving up, until i drove off). sounds really good. i rode about 140 miles today in the hill country and i cant tell too much of a difference. the torque below 2500 is where it was affected but it is minimal. the sound is great though. the stock exhaust on our bikes reminded me of a scooter, it just took everything good out of the sound. i removed the three pipes out of the can, left in the servo(disconnected), and i welded in a half moon towards the back, on the side of the exhaust outlet. CUSTOM HACKPIPE. anyway i bought a stock can to send to kevin but never had the funds so if anyone wants a custom hackpipe, i'll cut it up for you and send it on its way.
