Was a productive weekend after all. Build an all stainless mid pipe - let's call it the Monster Pipe.

I was looking for a simple yet highly efficient design, that can be manufactured in stainless, can hold the stock mufflers and basically any custom exhaust.

I am currently waiting to get a set of stainless mufflers that I will adapt and test as soon as I get them.

Here are a few specs:

.) All stainless
.) Mandrel bends
.) Custom Collectors
.) cross pipe
.) stepped design (2 steps opening up the diameter gradually)
.) only 3 lbs and 15 oz!
.) added 2 O2 sensor ports after the pics were taken
.) cannot drag any more than the stock design

SInce its Sunday, I have not had a chance to run it on the dyno. Will do that Monday or Tuesday.
From riding I can already tell that if works very well. Seems to have very good torque and top end.

FYI It took a total of about 10h to R&D fabricate this mid pipe.

I am talking to 2 US exhaust makers to potentially build this design in quantities, together with their mufflers - potentially multiple different muffler options - all in stainless to match the bikes setup.

What do you think?

PS: Please excuse my bloody welds - I am a hobby welder after all...

Very nice looks really clean!
get it to the dyno!!!
you only need 4.7 more normally aspirated
Horses..

that's the same pile of pipe pieces that were on your floor friday??

BRILLIANT!! I bet you could sell "live" webcam subscriptions to your garage!!! Just imagine what you could make from this forum's members alone...

He he

Yes indeed. Isn't is interesting what you can make out of a pile of 'junk' ?

Sounds oh-so sweet. Can't wait to see the dyno numbers.

what time tomorrow is the inaugural dyno run?? enquiring minds want to know...

1 quick technical question... now that u stepped up the ID, will you have to modify the inlet on the OE cans to gain full advantage?

or will that not be an issue??

is that to reach the holy grail of 200rwhp??

if only i could afford to buy even a fraction of your "junk",

i would be a very happy man!!


you know, a land speed record just might be on the agenda in the near future @ this rate...
