flyguyeddy Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 So i was pondereing something. Would a setup similar to the rc211v exhaust work with our engines? Like, if i were doing a custom 4th gen eith an undertail setup, couldnt i just set it up similar to the rc211v? With two cans , rear cyl go back, front go under n back. Never join up, like two twin engine exhausts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veefer800Canuck Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 There's these cans on Fleabay, you could use 2 of them maybe: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Phantom Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 There's these cans on Fleabay, you could use 2 of them maybe: I reckon an RC212V system would look great on a nicely modded VFR. Would be interesting to hear how it sounded. Especially if you twin-twingled the motor I spent a lot of time looking into GP-stype cans, the ones above do look pretty good but most seem to be quite long. I ended up with one of these (pic not of my actual can) - Competition Werkes to suit Yamaha R6. Cheap as chips, because there is nothing inside it I may need to fit some perforated tubing and packing material... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyguyeddy Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 My word, I'll bet that's loud. Bet it sounds great. my biggest concern is piping size. i dont want to kill the lower end of the vfr. i was thinking 1.5" od tubing for the primaries and 1.75" tubing to the mufflers. thoughts? perhaps just 1.5 the whole way?

Stay with tubing that's within 1/16" of stock. You're going to improve the flow so much that you won't need larger tubing at all. In fact, you'll likely end up losing bottom end torque if you go bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veefer800Canuck Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 thoughts on pipe size after the y? Just off the top of me head, I would say 1.5" primaries, 1.75" when two pipes meet, and 2" when all 4 pipes meet. But that's just a Wildassguess, nothing scientific about it.

But that's just a Wildassguess, nothing scientific about it. the 4 p[ipes dont meet on the rc211v. the front bank exits out the lower right side of the bike, and the rear bank exits out from underneath the tail. the stock size of the 91 primaries i have is 1 3/8". i was thinking merging those into 1.5" then out to a muffler, 1.5".

Member Contributer kostritzer Posted August 11, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted August 11, 2011 I'm planning on doing this style of exhaust on my 4th gen track bike, and am also wondering how it will affect the powerband on a stock engine.

Member Contributer YoshiHNS Posted December 5, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted December 5, 2011 How/where were you thinking of chopping the headers up to do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyguyeddy Posted December 18, 2011 Author Share Posted December 18, 2011 if your talking to me i am planning to make all new header pipes out to the mufflers. slip joints with springs, and a hanger for the long length that goes underneath the tail part.

Member Contributer YoshiHNS Posted December 18, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted December 18, 2011 Fully custom headers. I'll pay attention to that one. Not really won over by the delkevic or motad headers to buy them, just to probably end up chopping them up in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyguyeddy Posted December 18, 2011 Author Share Posted December 18, 2011 I will most likely have a setup alot like the sudco exhausts for the 2nd gens with the flanged part bolted to the head and everything else slip jointed n sealed. Makes it easier to ajust and build that way. I just don't know what pipe sizes to go with from the head and after the collectors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
