pipes

Paint got done today! Love it!!

Not sure. I thought they were v&h but not sure. ???

So things are going way better with my screwy bike. Now I'm just trying to figure out how to get the stupid rear pipes on this Hindle 4-1 to seal. This is not a small leak we're talking about here. It's actually blowing the weird exhaust tape around that I put on them to try to seal it up...

In the next month I want to do the following three tings to my 85vmax 1; Replace all the water hoses with silicone hoses. I see some cheap Chinese ones and was wondering if they were any good or if someone has used them and they are ok or rubbish? 2;my bike has a little tappet noise on the...

My voo-doo 4 into 2 pipes are yellowing. I have only put about 350 miles on the bike since I've gotten it, but the pipe yellowing has gone nearly the length of the pipes, and is starting down the actual mufflers now. I have read this can be due to a tuning issue, so my first question is where...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOYvFgGqjUg Pretty interesting concept and idea. Wonder if something like this could be applied to bikes for road racing. Todd

When I bought my 2001 Vmax it was apparent the the PO had drilled, or punched out the baffles on the original mufflers. I my opinion all this does is make the bike louder, and in fact hurts overall performance and rideability. I found a used unmolested set of cans on eBay, and with the help...

I think they could be a little smoother, but I'm liking them :punk:

My two rear header pipes are blue, not sure it its due to it being to lean? Or if its common for the two rear cylinders to run warmer due to less air flow. My setup is holeshot 4into2, k/n filter, shim under stock needles, 150 main jet. Any suggestions would be great, Thank You

Hi, When removing and replacing exhaust pipes is it necessary to torque it to the correct specs or is it ok to just tighten it as hard as possible? Thanks :)

Just got my Marks 4 into 2 stainless system. They look great. Any suggestions for keeping them looking that way? Is there any kind of coating or something I can do to them before installation to keep them from rusting?

I have a question about header pipes. From what I've heard the main restriction of a stock exhaust system are the small header pipes. Boxenstopp sells some that are 4 mm bigger, and I am wondering what are the size of various aftermarket header pipes...IE marks...UFO? Someone could buy the...

I just bought a 1998 VMAX with Marks 4 into 2 pipes spark plugs seem a little rich does anyone know what the jetting should be? I'm at sea level maybe a 100-200 above it in California. I'm only getting 22MPG that seems a lot low to me for a bike and the last cruise I did I made sure I kept it...

I was wondering if anyone here has had / seen a first gen vmax with an exhaust system that is just heat wrapped pipes. Like what many people put on old school baggers and many hd's. I am just thinking black heat wrapped simple exhaust would look pretty good. A quick google image search of heat...

I see a few have stock pipes and have drilled out the ends of their mufflers. Has anyone done any tests to see how this effects performance? (I don't want to loose any performance in case I ride with Mike again)

if i am correct there are 3 filters in each side of the exhaust pipe,,, the question is whether it is safe to remove 2 of the 3 filters from each side to improve performance and create an eagle exhaust sound; loud and vulger-ish?

Sooo... is it gonna be a royal pain to install my supertrapp slip ons? :worthy:

I currently have a Kerker 4 into 1 system with a K&N filter. I am looking to go to UFO Dragster pipes with a full Stage 7 kit. Can anyone tell me what kind of power gains I can expect and what the pros and cons would be to go to this setup. I believe the UFO setup would be quite a bit louder...

Thanks for all the how-to's and tips....Mark's exhaust went on easy. Centerstand hits...so that will have to come off in the morning, but otherwise flawless. Sounds amazing....will sleep very happy tonight. Oh....and the throttle response is soooo much better.

I recently installed Marks exhaust and DJ stage seven kit. The rear two pipes are VERY blue . Set floats dry on bench, running fairly well, some popping so still playing with it but -- why are the rear two pipes SO blue while the front two look fine just turning light gold. :confused2: Too...
