Custom V-Max pipes on ebay

[djw479]

Saw these pipes on ebay today, see link at end. Have a few questions for those of you with much more V-max knowledge than me.

1) Anyone know of the builder of them, or any other info? I'm hoping someone here may know of this modded V-max these came off of.

2) Does anyone know if these 2" primary pipes would work well on a stock-sized CC V-Max with a Stage 7 kit installed? I know pipe diameter is very important, but the real science behind it is beyond my brain's capacity. :ummm:

3) Anyone care to guess what material these pipes are made of? I've emailed seller and will update here if I get a response.


If anyone with a bored/stroked V-Max ends up getting these, can I buy your 4/2 system for pointing these out?!? I am joking, but serious at the same time.

Figured I would be a little more research. Noticed same seller also have V-Max carbs w/ /Stage 7 installed for sale. Sad but interesting reading on why parts are for sale.

Hey, those pipes are not 2" primary sized. Add says 2" holes in the leaving side of the cans. I would guess the primary side is 1 - 1/4" or maybe 1 - 1/2" tops. Good luck, Spur

Looks EXACTALLY like one of Mark's 4-2 systems. Same cans, mid-pipes and crossover(i believe his is the only one with the crossover).

Can you keep the center stand with Mark's?

 

[Redbone]

I agreee Mark, looks exactly like mine save for the cans (mine are not polished) and tips (no turndowns on emine).

Thanks the info!

I imagine these are the mild steel version based on the pix, but it does not look ceramic coated to me. What do you guys think?

Did Mark sell un-coated pipes? I imagine he would do a custom job w/o coating, but just checking if my thinking is correct. How much does it approximately cost to have a shop coat all pipes?

Thanks in advance for answering my many questions,
Dan

Marks system are form stainless steel.
I doubt that hes coating his exhausts and why ceramic coating the stainless pipes?

I know that he charge 750$ for complete full system 4-2-1.

Try to call him LOL
Tell him to check his email box while you'll be speaking with him

Yessir.:biglaugh:

Little off oroginal topic but...would there be any advantage to getting my Mark's SS exhaust coated after a season of riding 5k + miles of riding? I kinda like the hue it has taken on though....

Yes you can, but the (for lack of a better term) kick down bar sticks out from the Mark's by 2 maybe 2.5 inches, looked goofy to me. :confused2:

No kidding Brian!! I had to grind half the little foot pad off to get it to clear the can! What the hell???:confused2:

It's very difficult to even see that my c/s is even there....I'll see if I can find a pic!

 

[gamorg02]

i think ur black pipes help to blend that in, like mine.

 

[dannymax]

Yeah, I agree with that! Also, bouncing down the road at 95 mph may have 're-adjusted' the angle of the foot lever!!

I wouldn't recommend the mod....but it seems that it did work.....eh?

 

[vmax626]

my guess is that it might have been stolen a long time ago and he feels safe to start selling parts little by little ???:ummm:

Do you have a pic of this?

 

[Rusty McNeil]

I'd bet a paycheck those are Marks pipes, and $400 is a decent price, Stainless polishes out fairly easily including the scratches in the cans........

If they've been run quite a bit the cans may need re-packing but that's not a big deal really.

:ummm:He blew up the motor about 4 years ago and is now selling the parts, I asked about how long the carbs were sitting and that was his answer, Good Luck, Spur
