stryker Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Seems like Tyga is possibly interested in replicating the TBR header for the 3rd and 4th gen, So does anyone have a TBR header you could send to Tyga (when the time comes) so they can take measures??? I think the high left exit header would be the nicest one. How many of you are interested? This could be a once in a lifetime opportunity!! Heres the email correspondence between me and Tyga: Hi! Been following the tread at the VFRD forum about the group buy for a Tyga full exhaust for the 5th-7th gen VFR. Think it\'s amazing that you are willing to produce this exhaust on request of the VFR community. I\'m wondering if the same could be done for the 3rd and 4th gen VFR\'s? The 4th gen header fits the 3rd gen, and there is many enthusiasts out there that would love to get hold of a preformance header/full exhaust. Two brothers made a excellent full exhaust in the nineties, people are crazy about them if one happens to show up on ebay(wich is not very likely). Would it be possible that someone sent you their Two brothers header so you could replicate it? Cheers Anders Hi Anders Many thanks for your message below and your suggestion. For sure, if the 5th-7th generation project goes to plan then we'll be very interested in looking at making exhausts for earlier models. We would need a sample so yes, that would be good if someone could help us source one. Best regards Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackdot Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I would be very interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alhazred Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 That's pretty cool. I currently own both styles of the headers that Two Bros made for the 750's,neither of them have the stock exit location and they are slightly different from each other so there would have to some agreement between all interested of which one to use. Also,the sound is very different between the two. One is 4-1 and the newer style is 4-2-1. The 4-2-1 makes better power I think but I have the 4-1 on the bike right now because it just has that sound that I couldn't give up. I might be persuaded to help out if there are enough of us interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stryker Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 Thanks, Alhazred! We'll just have to wait and see if people are interested. As "unobtanium" as these pipes are, one would expect that the demand is there. Then we have to discuss the price with Tyga. Are your pipes low or high mount?

Alhazred Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 The 4-1 is left side high mount and the 4-2-1 is right side low mount, both headers exit by the left foot peg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stryker Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 Good, so we are now 5 interested so far, -Me 1 -Blackdot 1 -slo1 2 -Koconut 1 Haven't got any replies yet from Tyga about how many orders they need or cost estimate, think it was around 600$ + shipping for the 5th gen, that is making a header from scratch, not a replica.

stryker Posted December 1, 2015 Author Share Posted December 1, 2015 Got an answer from Tyga about when they could start manufacturing the exhaust. Hi Anders Thanks. At this stage no idea on the time frame but it will be months given our current schedule. Appreciate your enthusiasm. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stryker Posted December 2, 2015 Author Share Posted December 2, 2015 Looks like we'll have to wait for the 5-7th gen headers to be produced first Hi Anders, Thanks for the reply and the questions. Unfortunately, I don’t have any answers yet. Like I mentioned in the first email, we need to see how the later model sells. We’ll have a much better idea after that.

Member Contributer RC36Rider Posted December 2, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted December 2, 2015 A nicely made left side high mount exhaust for the 4th Gen is definitely on my wish list. The ability to keep the side-stand is a strong plus. Centre-stand, I don't care much.Something like this would be nice : http://www.tygaeurope.com/wp-content/uploads/exps-0003left-4093068f.jpgNow, where did I put that piggy bank again? :unsure2: :sad2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stryker Posted December 2, 2015 Author Share Posted December 2, 2015 Twobros left high mount is my favorite too, you'll loose the center stand with it, but i can live with that. Personally i don't like the 2 muffler setup very much. Tyga makes some really nice things, pure porn. Sadly nothing for the vfr 750. Shall i put you on the list RC36Rider? It's not an official list, just to get an overview. When Tyga is ready to discuss the possible production, i will make a binding registration list.

ANYWAY...I've tried this with various exhaust manufacturers. I promise you that everyone interested here will soon back out when they see the cost of production, plus markup, plus shipping. Making exhausts is NOT cheap, no matter where you're based. I contacted about 8 exhaust manufacturers in the UK offering to send them my Sebring left exit, "yeah we can do it" they said, "ok cool" I said, "how much for ten units?" I asked, "oh about £5000" (some where even more). Reckon people are REALLY willing to spend that kinda money on an exhaust for an ageing bike? Don't want to sound negative, but until prices are put up, I would take all interest VERY lightly. Oh and I also contacted Motad, they outright said no as they KNOW it'll never sell enough units to justify the cost of tooling up, let alone labour costs and shipping costs. However, if they can do them cheap enough, count me in :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alhazred Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 They have 21 people committed at 600 usd a pop in the VFR800 Tyga thread. Where do you come up with this idea that everyone will back out? Did you start a thread about reproducing a VFR750 exhaust system and we all backed out at the last minute? I must have missed it.

stryker Posted December 4, 2015 Author Share Posted December 4, 2015 In my opinion, this looks very positive so far. And as alhazred said, the vfr 800 is going for 600$+shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer RC36Rider Posted December 4, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted December 4, 2015 [...] Shall i put you on the list RC36Rider? It's not an official list, just to get an overview. Hi stryker. I'd really, really like it to be a twin silencer setup, and EU road legal. The latter doesn't seem to be the case of the Tyga exhausts for the NC30/35 or the now defunct 2Bros system.

stryker Posted December 5, 2015 Author Share Posted December 5, 2015 As you said doesn't seem to be any roadlegal silencers at Tyga, what a about a db-killer? You can always get them to make your own custom made silencer "we can make custom size silencer tubes" Ok, that is probaly just the tubes for silencers, sorry!

Did you start a thread about reproducing a VFR750 exhaust system and we all backed out at the last minute? I must have missed it. I tried this, as soon as people heard the price (I'm talking specifically VFR750 owners here) the interest dropped right off. But hopefully it'll work out.

You can always get them to make your own custom made silencer "we can make custom size silencer tubes" Ok, that is probaly just the tubes for silencers, sorry! Tell them to forget the silencers, just make sure the outlet is 2" and you have an endless choice of cans to choose from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then see if they'll make just the header for 3rd gens (high mount, left side for most, I'd think). Then we can choose whatever muffler we want that is legal for where we live. Might make it more affordable for us cheapskates normal income people, too. Cheers, Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VFRMarc Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I'd be interested in a low mount set up for my '95 (I use my center stand) at the $600+/- price point, but not being familiar with Tyga, just a couple of questions. What are the header pipes made out of? Will they be of equivalent quality (e.g., wall thickness) of the OEMs? Have the donor pipes been dyno'ed vs. OEMs to make any performance gains worthwhile? Just askin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
