My 2 into 1 project now with dyno print out

Post by lloydie »

This won't be a fast project it will be a bsm time project :)

Ive made a start on it today .
Took my old exhaust headers out the dark corner of the garage .
Its been said that if you do this you will loose bhp and gain torque .
I want more torque :) and I want to tinker :).
Wile I was looking at the exits they look small and if I block one off this would be bad as it will be like putting a Restricter on the exhaust .
Image
So I went with removing both of them by
Cutting just after the weld for the splitter .
This will give me better flow of the gases to .
Image.
I just need to find a local engineer to make me a larger bore link pipe to connect it to my large bore race can .
I also smoothed the weld on the collets as these were badly done
Image
Image
This should help it flow even better .
I'm having the headers sand blasted in two week so will look lots better .
I will update this as I go .

That's a start Lloydi. :thumbup: I regret not taking my header pipes off, giving them a clean, fix a broken stud (only noticed the other day on front) spray Black, new gaskets. Mmmm

I think the right! Two cans piggy back would be interesting, not seen that on a vtr before.

Keep up the good work. :thumbup:

if it had a single sided swing arm then twin stacks would look great .

very similar to what i did, i cut mine here, a bit further back than you, and ran a 65mm big bore tail pipe, (ovaled slightly to fit the downpipe shape), to a big bore stubby race can.

i'll let you know how it goes, all being well it'll be running this week.

What do you use to stick the exhaust wrap/tape around the pipes?

jubilee clips. start at the can, work towards the head. soak the wrap in a bucket of water before use, keep tension on it as you go. :wink:

I like the idea Lloydi, I bought a single sided system off ebay last year, but it kept the existing right side exit, with a welded plate over the left side. I can feel a difference in comparison to the original system, they way you are doing it i would be interested in what you feel when you ride it with the new system on.

What mine looks like.
