What slip-on exhuast do I have?

[TheycallmeSpaz]

Just picked the bike up last night... can't find any markings anywhere... stainless steel can, dual exits.

Can and exits look good but it's not loud or "poppy" enough for me hahaha... I want traffic to hear me. Too many
instances where people switch into my lane with me right there -_-

Well now I feel like an idiot... haha thank you man. No wonder "google" xb12s slip-on exhaust didn't bring up anything that looked similar.

As another newbie:-
Mine is also a twin outlet but in mild steel. I would attach a pic but it's a bit rusty! Not seen another like it here in the UK or in Aus.

I won't feel like an idiot coz I am one!

Many people would be happy to take it off your hands if you want to switch.

If you're looking for loud and simple install go for a d&d. Or I can sell you a ghetto drag pipe for $15 lol https://youtu.be/sc5QcKyRO40

haha straight -drag pipe lol

I really like the look of the twin exit with bias cut tips... just wish it sounded more "hawk/maybe D&D"... the underside of the exhaust has a large dent like it was "bottomed out so I don't know how much $ I could sell it for.

 

[djs2k2]

It's highly sought after so even with the dent you could sell it for good money;

1) you're not going to find one without that dent these days......it's just a question of how bad it it
2) I live by the 'your bike, your choice' rule - generally. In this case, if you're going to be the guy that gets rid of a better performing exhaust for a worse performing exhaust simply because you want decel popping, I've got to caution that's a decidedly un-Bueller kind of thing to do.

Just so it is clear to the OP, because I am not sure it is, that is NOT the OEM exhaust. That is an upgraded exhaust that was an available option from Buell Motorcycle Company, and it is called the "Buell race exhaust." It is louder and more free flowing than the stock pipe.

If you want to get something else, the value of that pipe is significant. Selling it will get you a long way to getting another exhaust, if not straight out buy a new one. I recommend Drummer SS or Dean Adams if you want something loud and well built.

P.S. you don't want your pipe to make popping noises..... Do yourself and your motorcycle a favor and get a tune......

Since you have Buell race exhaust on your bike, look under the seat and see what the black box with all the wires coming out (The ECM) says. Does it have big letters on it that say "For Race Use Only"?


And a lot of decel 'popping' is a sign of a lean condition or an exhaust leak. Either way, lame.

Here is an exhaust poll I started a while back if you are interested in which XB12 exhausts are most popular on the forum...

I appreciate your honesty, I didn't mean "poppy" as when I'm decelerating... I just meant that "potato potato potater" HD v-twin sound.

Again, I think my lingo for "poppy" was misunderstood haha. I'm sorry and I do not want to hack a quality bike/part to just get a sound. I just want a deeper/crisper sound that is less muffled. I am more than happy right now with the bike as it is and it doesn't "pop" on deceleration but I do blip the throttle for downshift cause it makes me happy haha these bikes just sound so dang good.

Thank you for the input sir, I will take a gander when I get home. I appreciate ya'lls input. This forum is a lot nicer than other auto forums I've been a part of. I reckon 2-wheels makes things better!

lean=bad I know (I'm currently doing a BWsx366 turbo build on an old iron block straight 6 bmw )

Cheers

Hey man, so when I got home I checked and the ECM says "FOR RACE USE ONLY" ... I changed plugs and put fresh 93 in it and rode it around for a while.
The bike runs out really well, there is no popping on deceleration at all, the only weird thing is off idle if I blip the throttle it stumbles and almost shuts off.

The more I ride it the more I like the exhaust, I also went to clean some of the rust off the exhaust and I realized that it isn't stainless... it is a ceramic coating (I was about to steel-wool it -_-)

 

[Nopanicitsmechanic]

It is nor stainless nor ceramic coated, it's just painted steel. It rusts. It's different in every sense. But it has a sense. Everything on this bike makes sense even if you do not get it at first sight. In the beginning I got mad when I saw the exhaust rust, then I understood that it has to be taken off to check the pinion on the oil pump and this has to made periodical before they build the engine with the gear pump.
