Burns Posted July 10, 2007 Report Posted July 10, 2007 you had me worried for a minute there sam good job you got project side exit on the cards
Pipster007 Posted July 10, 2007 Report Posted July 10, 2007 Think of the extra weight you'd have been dragging about with a full length pipe......................A short exit pipe will be better
Mr Sam Posted July 10, 2007 Author Report Posted July 10, 2007 well got the side exit on sounds crap and awful performance.....but i can hear rattles again and i can breath, although i need to work on the mounting as its not rubber mounted just threaded rod welded to the silencer and through the jacking eye so it make my seat vibrate however i think i can fix the broken one which will be a good idea as at the moment i cant go near speedbumps
surfingturnip Posted July 11, 2007 Report Posted July 11, 2007 what about some sort of bike exhaust within the engine bay?
razersedge Posted July 11, 2007 Report Posted July 11, 2007 one of my mates put a cbr600 one on his bmw 325 it sounded the nuts it had such a deep sound and was so noisy and it was a standard pipe and they are shiny
