Sounds Great! What all did you do to the exhaust?

Wish I could take credit but this is a member of a different forum, maybe a member here to but I'm not sure. I hope I didn't steal his thunder. He just eliminated the catalytic converter.

Damn that sounds good.

 

[dannymax]

Man, that is just NASTY!!

 

[vmaxride06]

Sounds Great!!!! It was only a matter of time:biglaugh:

Now I know what I'm doing with mine... when I finally get it. :bang head:

 

[naughtyG]

not cat conv - you better not be in California.. lol

I wonder what the RWHP difference is though?

 

[Dirtystinknape]

Yes sir, now that thing sounds like a beast. You just raised the bar my friend.

 

[82ndCowboy]

I'd be interested to know if you gain or lose MPG with that mod?

George,

I saw this also and other pictures of the pipes. I guess all I can say is it was a nobel first attempt and shows that the 09 has some good sound potential. I was a little disapointed that he didn't let it idle more. The little it did idle sounded pretty flat instead of lumpy where you could hear the cams.

I'm still not convinced it will ever sound as good as the first gens.

The pipe fitting and welding were a little rough on that attempt. I would have made the piping from the front cylinders as short as posible and tried to lengthen out the rear cylinders to try and achieve equal length pipes as much as possible.

That being said. Pipe fitting is an art not many people posess. I'll sure give him an A for effort.

I think your right about it not sounding as good as a Gen I. On the 05 I used to have I had a 3 way switch for the VBOOST, on, off, and stock. With the VBOOST on at idle I've had people ask if I had the cam changed because it kinda loped. I don't think you can get that sound with the EFI. Still sounds tough though.

Sooooo.... you gutted the cat? or removed and welded some other pipe work?

 

[jasonbb]

I want to do the exhaust on my 09 but want to keep the standard look, can you just rip the crap out of the cats and re fit? Will it need to be retuned and or affect the performance?
I'm in Australia so we dont have much choice for exhausts on the 09's

It sounds like pure evil, just like it should. Thanks for the vid.

 

[artkopf]

how did you get that big block sound?

 

[one2dmax]

Get a big block! I've got a 540 CI engine we can sell you but it won't fit into the bike chassis very well. It will however make a ton more HP (somewhere around 800 street setup or more).

How did you get that sound; it's the incredibly right sound I'm looking for? Are they stock mufflers?
