Custom built/modded exhaust

[Guest]

I want to do away with the original look of the 700 once its complete as far as the bulky mufflers go. I was thinking something shorter and smaller in diameter with a slight bend at the tips facing away from the bike.

Can I use the existing headers and cut off the rest of the exhaust then weld tubes instead? How about performance since it'll basically be straight piped.

Yup. Youll want to weld an insert into the end of the pipes for the new slip-ons to clamp to.

Performance will suck - you'll lose low and mid range and attract a lot of police

Go check out Salty Monks bike - he really did a fine job on getting it set up

Police really arent a problem for me. 95% of my riding will be 2 miles to school from my friends house along a highway, or 70 miles on a highway non stop usually in rush hour. Performance is what I was worried about

I'll do that though, I really just want a modern look on it since I like how it looks without anything on it right now.

EDIT: Just checked his exhaust, says hes running a bassani?

I'm tight on money still, thats why I had the idea of bending my own tubing and making a custom fabbed exhaust but I guess it can't be done by me without power loses.

if youve got a welder you can build a baffle. that would help the power loss issue

I don't have one and rarely have used one in my past so I wouldnt be comfortable with it. I'd want it done properly because my biggest fear is making sure the angles are right and away from my tire since I'm always worried about blow by while cornering and low siding from my oil experiences...

Realize you probably cant afford it at the moment, but this is probably the best pipe for your bike. They are in limited supply but it has been going on for a while.
