LogoMan Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 If you wanted a single side exhaust with just a single exhaust can on the right side of the bike, could you keep the stock header pipe and just remove the left side exhaust can and midpipe and cap off the pipe? Aesthetics aside, would there be any performance issues with doing this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbrxxquad Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 I think the size of the pipe is too small, but the performance loss would be small on this beast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LogoMan Posted October 18, 2008 Author Share Posted October 18, 2008 I was wondering about the size. Doesn't seem any smaller than my Hindle which is 2" dia. You're right about power, though. If there was a restriction it probably wouldn't show up in the range most people run the bike anyway. Just wondering because it would seem to be a less expensive way to lose exhaust can weight without going to a different header. Of course, you'd still have the centerstand stop issue.

cbrxxquad Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 We can deal with the stop deal, just need to water jet some more. Well, order some cut. No biggie. Might see if any on the other site want some. Maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dale Walker, loved it. Maybe cut a cutout on the right, oh yeah.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVLXX Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 If you blocked off the left side... you'd need a good free flowing silencer to keep your top end numbers up. but mid range would go up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbrbear Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 I know on my older CBR1000F this was the option for a slip on exhaust from two brothers. You would cap the left side and put a right side connector and muffler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TX1100F Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 I bet it would work. The only issue I see would be the turbulence created as the exhaust races past the junction. You might get some odd harmonics that could result in power drops at the resonant RPM(s). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cudgel Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Even if it would work don't you think it would be extra loud just having one muffler, especially with something like a D&D? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might get some odd harmonics that could result in power drops at the resonant RPM(s). Thats what i was going to say. You might get some weird stuff going on, noise and harmonics wise. Pipes really are tuned for the bike. If its what you want, i would try it...you don't have much to loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

runner Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Sure you could....but exhaust sytems are designed as a system and changing the dynamics could/would make a substantial performance loss probable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
