...And this little VTR owner made his exhaust w/ a CNC mill
 

For all of those curious about exhaust setups, check this guy out @ http://enders-vtr.8m.com/index.html. Not only does he compare several brands, but also fabricated his own exhaust with a CNC mill. I thought that was pretty impressive because manipulating a CNC mill is tedious work. I operated one in high school and tried to command its own self-destruction. By the way, if anyone out there want's to sell me their D&D exhaust- I'll buy it!

That link is http://enders-vtr.8m.com/index.html . With out the period "."

He should market those.

I admire the attempt but I think it looks like ass with the pipe sticking way out in the breeze.

The proper way (IMO)to do it would be to have the 2 pipes merge into 1 and fit thru the space in the swingarm, next to the shock and route it up, split back into 2 pipes and follow the underside of the tail section.

Yes, hard to do, and yes the rear shock would get very hot, but going out around the outside of the swingarm looks crappy.

I give him credit for the attampt though.

I doubt there is room next to the shock for the pipe.

you would have to lower the idameter of the pipe to approx. 1 3/4" to make it thru the swingarm, which would restrict flow.

Or get a SSS and do the same thing, then you would'nt have to worry about fitting the exhaust thru the swingarm, and would like similar to the ducati 916, 996, 748.

WOW, great work on the muffler but I also think the up pipe's asthetics need major improvement. How? That's the $64,000 question. I agree, running them through the shock area would be suicide for the shock.

The creativity and machining of the muffler is awesome. As far as the intermediate pipes, I think if he just put some bend to them istead of being straight up it would look excellent. All around really nice homemade,(if your home has cnc machine), exhaust.

Clever, but eccentric.

hw did say he was going to work on the pipes abit more.... hopefully he will come up with somthing for the pipes hanging out

Thats right he said it was a work in progress. It sounds like he has the tools to do whatever he wants.

personally i like pipes that start low and angle up... like rc51 pipes...... aka superblings pipes. the dual exhaust is just too freakin' awesome to hide. it's like..... your bikes cleavage.... show it off!

Re: ...And this little VTR owner made his exhaust w/ a CNC m
 

I prefer the angle of the Jardine high mounts because they follow the angle of the tail section. The lines flow together, it's a thing of beauty.

And I know about cleavage, look at my avatar!

Re: ...And this little VTR owner made his exhaust w/ a CNC m
 

. . . .And I think the hindle high mounts are the best suited to the bike. . . Fact reamins that this guy should be desigining/manufactiuring parts for us, as the mufflers themselves are beautiful. I think though if putting it all the way up under the seat it would make more sense to run a single exhaust up to it, then have a single oval can with dual outlets to keep the look. that way only one side of the bike would have the pipe sticking out. . .

I would do it just like the Duc he's 'copying' in that it's got pipes only on one side of the swingarm, but it's got both pipes. Granted its a SSS, but nonetheless...

I don't like it.
I can appreciate the work he put into it, but I don't like the look.

Re: ...And this little VTR owner made his exhaust w/ a CNC m
 

On a scale of 1 to 10.... I'd give them an 8 1/2.
I would like to see a little more of the cannisters but a lot of thought and effort went into his project.
You have an exclusive and unique look and for only $300. Good job!

I wanna see more views, but wow I like it.

I think the outside-the-frame pipes add some character, and force you to notice the underseat which might go unnoticed otherwise. Perhaps powdercoating (or chroming?!) the pipes would make them look a little better. Or maybe some strange S bend to keep them running parallel to the frame for a while?

Ok, maybe astehtics (like spelling) is not my fortee
