Mark's Exhaust Sounds Gen 1

[dannymax]

I had the Mark's on my '06 for awhile this summer, before moving them to the '99....here's what they look like from the back....or what we refer to as the "Everyone Else's View"! :biglaugh:

Ooops! Forgot the pic!

Here another variation (mine :biglaugh of Mark's Pipes in SS with 12" cans, 2.25" openings, no turn down.

Thanks man. It looks to be a pretty straight forward install as well.

It is, carb mods are simple too. Per Mark's recommend, I shimmed the needles .039" and set the A/F screws at 3 1/4 turns out. It runs great and makes good power.

Yep, install is a snap. It was harder getting the OE pipes off than putting the Marks Pipes on! Removing the headers for cylinders 1 and 4 and that big heat shield were the worst part of the whole exhaust install.

If you going with an exhaust I'd say its the perfect time to drop the oil pan and check things out and take preventative measures with either Seans oiling upgrade, COO's pop stopper kit, or the Boxenstopp engine saver bracket. The only bad part about this mod is scraping the gasket. Mine was completely stuck to the engine case. It sucks laying on the floor trying to reach your hand in there. I shoulda rode up to Danny's house and used his lift!:biglaugh:

Probably not a necessary mod but doing it made me sleep a little better. I read too much crap about the orange o ring BS.

:biglaugh: Anytime Mike!! But, even with the lift, it was a huge PITA scraping that damn gasket!!

I think pulling the motor would be the best way to go there....you know, like the steering head bearing approach!! unk:

I have seen those before, are you still trying to sell them? Or are they going with the bike? I went with the 4 into 2 from Mark as I like the look of pipes on both sides.
Your pictures inspired me to take these pictures!

 

[ghostntheshell]

Wonder how marks 4-2-1 stacks up vs hindle 4-2-1 power wise??

No not for sale alone, goes with the bike. I will not part this bike out, either sell it hole or going to ride it.

I had the Kerker before my Marks. It made great power, with the stage 7 and the PCW 39 mm flat slides. Only issue I had with the Kerker was fit and finish. Also the packing blew out, and became VERY loud...which isn't a bad thing.

+1! Sweet music. Might just grab up one of these systems for the '06.

Mark's site is back up, not complete, but he's working on it.
