EVLXX Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Monday morning can't come fast enough. Monday night or tuesday morning willl be the soonest I'll be able to post the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R1000 Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 ... I'm happy enough with the design and looks that irregardless of the HP numbers... they're not going back... I'm keeping them..... Good for you, then you are in a win-win-situation since the new mufflers for sure will deliver more power than the heavy and restrictive stock buckets.

EVLXX Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 They sound DEEP... really DEEP. Might also be the loudest system I've ever heard, but I don't know yet, because I haven't finished the installation yet. I should have that done by Saturday, and hopefully a test ride there after. Tested : They are NOT that Loud ! Amazingly I would only put them slightly Louder than my Yoshi cans I had. But I only road it around the block, so I can't comment on anything beyound that... at this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have the mounting brackets completely finish tonight... until then I'm not posting any pics. Last nights quick blast was because I couldn't take it any longer.

EVLXX Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 Morning, Finally got the mounting completed yesterday. For those of you that don't know me, I have my own opinions about how things should look on my bike, so I end up making alot of shit myself... like the mounting brackets for these cans. After all that I finally took it out for a ride. Just a short run... less than 10 miles. So here's some quick observations from that. 1. Yes they're louder, but not by much. It's a very deep sound in comparision to the Yoshi's I had on there, and only some longer rides will tell wether or not the low resinance will vibrate the helmet more. 2. Looking at my AFR guage.. yes it's running a little Leaner. About 4 tenths of a ratio at full throttle. This tells me they're flowing alot better than my previous system and I'm going to have to make changes to my custom map that I was already running. I think that means they are definately going to make more power. If you've been around for a while, you'ld also know that I recorded that the stock set-up was really rich. So with that in mind... it's very probable that slapping a set of these on a stock bike could drastically improve things. We'll test that on Monday. Below is some pictures.... Now you can see why I'm totally stoked. They look awesome, and fit the style I've been shooting for a long time. ps. I know I know... I need to wash it, but if you knew what I had to drive throuth to get out of my neighborhood you'ld understand. Pain in the ass road construction.

Your seat looks interesting whos is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbrxxquad Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 I love the look. I don't like the long head pipe. If that is nessasary for it to work, I can't use them due to clearances. If you talk to them ask for me, or maybe they will post up. I would rather not have it at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVLXX Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 Your seat looks interesting whos is it? I made that too. I love the look. I don't like the long head pipe. The head pipe is my design, just because I wanted them to be closer to a High mount design. Basically all he sells is the Cans themselves, just like any other slip-on units that are out there.

Fiona Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 That looks excellent! Very symmetrical and clean looking(minus the dirt) I, too, am very fond of that seat. And those rear signals. You're quite the innovator. Looking forward to hearing the results of the dyno tests Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exskibum Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 I, too, am very fond of . . . those rear signals. I was thinking exactly the same thing -- about the nicest rear signal set up I've seen on a bird. And looking at your license plate set up, Eric, did you do the mod of putting a bit of clear plastic in as a lens in the bottom of the tail light to light the plate? Can't wait to see the results of the dyno runs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redbird Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 Shorten the midpipes and put them on a ZX14 and those would be badass. Looking good, Eric. I'm watching this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it does that well, and I think on the bike, Eric, it looks better than high mounts. At least I think it does. Not sure if they are too far back. Will see what I think in person. I love the tail lights though. I remember hearing somebody talk about them and thought they were in the cutouts on the side. I went out and tried to figure how it was done. Gave up. Looking forward to the lesson. Can't wait to go, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Para045 Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 I love the look. I don't like the long head pipe. +1 I think it makes the cans look small, not really a std pipe or a highmount although I guess that was your intent :icon_think: Is the flat black the std finish or do they come in other finishes ? I do think they look awsome though, will be interested to see the dyno readouts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVLXX Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Thanks all. Kinda tiered it's bin al ong day, so I'll be straight to some of the points. The Cnas are Ceramic coated.. that was one of the extra's I asked for, Paul was already working on it when I orderd mine, that's why there was some of the extra wiat, and he is making it a standard option. I ordered the Cans 16" long. To fit exactly how I wanted them. Flowing with the body lines of the bike, as well as sloping up, they also taper in slightly with the tail. The Seat much more supportive and comfortable for the long rides, but my friend did a half ass job on the stiching. I carved the seat to precisly fit me and my wife. Tail light / Clear lense mod for the plate was a snap. A little clear plastic and some silicone does wonders. Turn signals were fairly easy, yes they're the stock fronts upsidedown, and I have a template somewhere to aid those that want to try it. Plus there are others here how have alrady done it, like Hobi, that could also give input. ... and then there's Tim. Maybe this year we can actually find the time to talk. looking forward to it. Goodnight all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apprenticeXX Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 You've done a bitchin job on the bike. I would love to see that template posted if you can. If not could you fax to me or PM me with a way to get it from you? ie snailmail? That is BY FAR the best tail section I have seen since I am not a huge fan of the rear tail mods.

EVLXX Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Went for a couple short rides today, the first few were hard pull testing runs in order to get my radical map to work with the new Cans. It's interesting to note... I had to add a bunch of fuel. Then later I took the wife out, so she could hear and feel the power. Basically I wanted her to tell me if it felt more powerful. Her words were.... "Holy shit... did the tire come off the ground a couple of times? " Me "Yes." Her "I thought so, It's never done that before, I really had to hang on, it pulls much harder, I could feel it just crossing that first intersection, and it pulls alot better on the bottom end." Me "Good." I can't wait to see the Dyno results tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northman Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 I can't wait to see the Dyno results tomorrow. Neither can we..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVLXX Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Well the Results are in. But before you jump down to the picture... I learned something today... putting a K&N filter on is good for almost a 1 HP drop. Yes you heard that right, I lost 0.6 of a HP just adding the K&N. Now look at the photo and get the rest of the story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LogoMan Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 It looks like the primary changes were to the hp and torque curves rather than any large overall increase in numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davesXX01 Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 I'm seeing 8 ish HP at 11K and ya got rid of the torque drop off at 5-6K. An improvement deffinately, but worth it vs say an Akra system? BTW your stock run looks almost identicle to mine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman_40 Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 So on Paper at least you only gained 3.8HP and 1.5lb from the pipes... It is just me or does that seem SLIGHTLY off the 20HP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
