Race Exhaust Finally Complete!!!

[NwRider]

I have never been so happy to see FedEx!

About a year ago I found a NIB Buell Race muffler. I have been sitting on it looking for the elusive race header to match.

Albert666 whipped this one up for me and now I essentially have a brand spankin new race system!

Thanks Albert666! Quality is top notch sir!!!

I was going to ceramic coat it black but... its so purdy!

Dude nice, we gotta meet up after you install it so I can hear the non rattle can

 

[dhc]

Nice congrats!

 

[onelogue]

AWESOME!!! Get it on and put up a sound clip!

I have never heard one in person but can't wait too.

My Hawk didn't "rattle" but definitely has a crisp, sharp tone. Thinking this will be a little thumpier. Doubt it will be as "punch you in the face" thumpy as your Jardine. Damn that thing thumps.

 

[NwRider]

Thanks and I will RJ...

I'll record the Hawk and Race exh and post em up.

 

[juGGernaut]

Lol yea the jardine is nice, but yours might be nicer

Looks awesome[up] i can't wait to see it on your bike. i really like Albert's work.

 

[knwyman]

Looks fantastic! I bet I'll end up having him make a system for me at some point.

Looks f***ing sweet but I do hope there are flanges on the header pipes to mount it to your engine at the exhaust valves.

Nice !!!

A work of art [up]

 

[NwRider]

Flanges? We don't need no stinking flanges! Instead of reusing my old ones I may just order new ones. Prolly do new studs and retainers too just for shits n giggles. And new gaskets of course.

Holy tuber exhaust grail.. Michael, that is simply gorgeous! man, I wouldn't coat that.. let it go golden and maintain it from there like the rest of us. That Albert is an artisan, wow.. I cant see one imperfection! something tells me that "race-can" is going to talk to you a bit more than the hawk [up]

 

[NwRider]

I am curious about the sound difference too. The Hawk is more like a Flowmaster in its design and the Race Muffler is like a glass pack. Should sound similar to Jardine, V&H or D&D or any of the other straight throughs with packing.

Regardless of sound I am curious about performance with the race ecm. Other than a ham can I essentially have the factory "race kit".

The custom tune I have been running is adequate but... I think it could be better. I am sure I will end up tweaking the race maps a bit but it should be a damn fine starting point.

I think you are right... as much as I think a black header would look awesome.. I will leave it alone.

Much louder than the V&H as I have both. You will need to repack the Race Muffler about every 5 years. Sounds great and about the same power and carb. re-jetting as the V&H.

 

[NwRider]

5 years? I can live with that. x1... no carb!

 

[NwRider]

Yippee-ki-yay mutha thumper!

Interesting... This set-up is quieter than my Hawk and stock header at an idle and low RPMs... But when you get on it... uhhh... yeaaaa... waking up the dead.

Got a little burp at low RPM but above 4k it is a monster.

I will post up comparison videos in a few. Gotta eat!
