Hey Superbling!
 

I was looking at you avatar and noticed you have some custom looking exhaust installed. Ebay has several sellers that have "universal exhaust mufflers" in CF, aluminium, ect. I was thinking about getting some and having a muffler shop bend me the proper size/shape for the midpipe.. any info?

Those are RC51's but they take some major mods (depending on your point of view) to install.

I also had a muffler shop fab up a copy of the mid-pipes from my old 2bros highmount pipes. I then mounted a set of "standard" microns to them with no problems. I sold those "unfinished" midpipes to a forum member who was going to get them coated.

So yes, you can buy universal cans but you'll need some sort of mid-pipe. Some exhaust companies will sell you their versions of the midpipe but they are pretty damn expensive IMO.

I was bidding on a set of CF Youshi's for a Suzuki TL1000s that I thought I could make work, but was outbided.. damn you Ebay. Anyways, Someone had posted that they were doing a custom exhaust with CF cans and I figured I could save some $ and do the same. My Hawk only cost $3,500 and I cringe at the thought of spending north of $500 for some nice slip on's (my Jardine slip for my CBR600RR was only $200.00) Do you remember what the muffler shop charged for your midpipe?

Oh it wasn't too much, something like $30-40 but they were simply copying another set and not having to bend and fit, bend and fit, etc which would have taken a lot more time and thus $$$.

Right, thx for the help/info!

so would you be in a position to make some replicas at all? and hopefully post to the uk :)

LOL, no sorry. I only made one copy and ended up selling them. I agree tho', there is a market for them.

Bling,
Don't I have them?

Yup but judging by your avatar, they're sitting in a box somewhere. LOL!

Actually, the avatar's OLD.
I put them on, but never bought canns to fit. I didn't really like the finish, and pricing in Vegas was over $150 for coating (too many friggin' chopper guys here).
I've given up on the Yoshis...they're going to Florida tomorrow to a lister (for a pretty good price). I've got stockers back on, and currently toying with which hi-mount Jardines to buy (round-blacks or CF). The TIs looked nice, but I really prefer the high mount style.

Jet-hot will coat "standard exhaust tubing" for about $15/ft which it what they are in their present condition and less than 2ft long each!!! Do it.

If you still have the mid pipes that Superbling made, how about renting them out to a few of us, who could then take them to our local muffler shop and have copies made?

A deposit would insure they didn't get lost somewhere or stuck in the "tomorrow never comes" situation that so many hobby projects find themselves in.

What do you think??
