| | Posted : 30 Jan 2013 - 21:12 Post title : custom pipes | | | A good mate and fellow member (Nux) recently found this bird for sale on ebay. Check out the custom exhaust! I reckon they look great but wonder if you could go around a corner??? They look pretty low. I will attempt to contact the seller and find out more about this system.

Looks like just a generic tapered exhaust clamped directly to the header. I'd be surprised if it was something custom built.... but I could always be wrong

Yeah I agree but with my cat bypass elbow I already have this should make the muffler / system longer and up swept. Hopefully I could re use the existing heat shield. So if the sound is OK and there isn't a dip in performance this could be a cheap alternative. The pipes I want that are pictured on bigbikerlupo bird will cost me $800 to have made here. These pipes are $135 delivered.
You blokes are harsh - wet farts - another HD looking system - anything would be better that the stock system.

I'd hate to blow $135 that I could have put towards the original $800 in the event that the pipes turn out to be crap but its tempting. These cheap pipes are just cheap chrome pipes where as the custom ones I want a polished stainless steel so the quality would be worlds apart.

I ended up spending $1,495 on the Foran Razorbacks plus a tune and a Dyno etc.
I could have got some pretty good pipes for half as much, but I reckon the look, the sound and the performance of the Foran's was well worth the extra cost.
