First of all I know that there are numerous company's that make exhaust but I'm findind a hard time locating what I consider great sounding and good performance and I sort of want to try this Idea that I have, I think I will start with 1 3/4 pipe's and run until the secret crossover then 2" from there back. Do you think it's worth it or should I just by what's out there. Oh yea I have a killer idea for the heat sheild's, or at least I think so. It might be worth a shot, who knows.

 

If you have access to everything, I say "give it a shot"!

 

If you've got the resources what the Hell. Aint got nothing to loose except a little time. Rock n Roll bro. Keep us posted

 

Make some OCC type, that come upside yur head!

Damn, we might be able to say we knew that guy before he became notorious/famous
whatever....a regular Tom Edison he is.

 

Tn.Heritage,

Why wouldn't you? Sounds like you have what you need, and from reading your posts and talking to you on the phone, I know you're not happy with your exhaust...so go for it!

Its all up to skill, time, and money. I would say go for it. I wouldnt mind giving my sporty a shot at it, just to see what I could do.

 

Thanks guy's, with encouragement like that I gotta try, anyway's I talked to a hot rod fabricator today and he thought it would work and look great but he can't bend the pipe so I'm off to see another guy I know that run's a muffler shop.

 

I made a set of pipes, drag pipes, for my '04 Fatboy. They looked cool and the sound was LOUD. But performance wasn't good. So I removed them and never got them chromed. Now they hang on the wall in the garage. I will probably use them for a run around here or something. I used exhaust pipe from the local muffler shop. It was cheap and they were helpful in bending it where I needed. If they worked out then I was going to have them chromed at the local plating shop. Good luck with your project.

 

Go for it, as long as you understand the dynamics of exhaust. You have to have the correct length and volume of cooling in order to ensure valve life. If you are building a daily rider, rather than a race bike that get's rebuilt every couple of weeks, you have to make sure that you get it right. Straight pipes sound great, but they reduce horsepower and kill engines. Do the research before you strap them on.
