Default True custom pipes

Hey everyone,

I was wondering if anyone knows anyone or anyplace that makes custom exhaust pipes for my sporty. I am looking for a total custom job. I want something that is not off the shelf. I don't own a welder at the time so I am gonna' have to pay someone to do it for me. Any ideas?

Thanks everyone!!!

Randy

Ok, I'll ask. Why would you want to have pipes made? Pipes serve other purposes than looks and sound. You may get a set that look and/or sound good but your bike may not perform very well. A lot of thought and science goes into making motorcycle exhaust. Well, at least the good ones.

header design information is all over the internets. you can build a pipe that performs its not rocket science. come up with dimensions and go find a mom and pop muffler shop. most of those folks love the chance to do something new and different.
