I decided to fabricate an exhaust and see how it turned out. I went to the nearest auto parts place, bought a collector/adaptor that went into a smaller turndown pipe to make sure i keep some back pressure and not F up the engine. It ran me about $7.49 not including the high temp paint I used. The note turned out extremely deep and EXTREMELY loud. Heres a little clip, but it really doesnt do it justice. I passed my friends house who lives next to the interstate, he could here me coming about a mile out. Well anyway here ya go, let me know what you think.

That's ungodly loud. I knew a guy that used to run an open header...........
at the track.
It kinda looks neat, though. If you could cram a baffle in there, (they do make baffles to stick in a straight pipe) I might keep it like that.Any and all statements by Loudnlow7484 are merely his own opinions, and not necessarily the opinion of Katriders.com.

Originally posted by grizzy2005I did something similar last week, only I went to the harley shop and bought a pair of 4" baffles, bolted one in (only one fit without modification) and this is the result: (I think this requires quicktime, if someone can convert it i'll rehost:

And yeah, I do believe such a shorty runs the risk of valves cooling too fast after shut-down.
Of course, I should hate that stuff, given my much-ballihooed hatred of D&D's. Funny, somehow I don't hate it that much, maybe because I don't have to live with it, like I did with that damn D&D on my now-sold Kat 750."Stevie B" Boudreaux

I like the idea, but would DEFINITELY go with some internal baffles. I once heard my exhaust straight out of the collecter, it was beyond loud, and not in a good way. These here might just be what you need, and they still keep the project cheap.
