Don't tell me it won't fit. It just needed some "persuasion."
Ok, so here's the deal: I was originally looking at the rocket because it's crazy. Then I saw that carpenter had built it up to another level of stupid crazy. It was always in the back of my mind, but I liked my race bike and my...
Looking to wrap or do some sort of heat shield for my Carpenter Sidewinder Exhaust. If I wrap, probably going to wrap it back to where the megaphone connects. Also thought about making shields for where my pants tend to touch the header pipe and down by the collector which throws a lot of heat...
Base was Hans0 2014+ Roadster unrestricted plus 10%
Running Ramair and Carpenter Sidewinder.
Tune was done outside, 85 F, with 56% humidity
It runs a little lean between 3000 and 4200 rpm but the fuel table is maxed out.
Made 152 hp and 158 ft-lbs torque
Finally got my custom Sidewinder exhaust finished and installed. Gone are the upper springs and the ugly header plate. I left on the lower springs holding the collector to the primaries for fear of expansion and cracking of the stainless primary tubes. The performance gain with this system is...
Anyone running the Sidewinder headers with baffle AND O2 sensor? Seems the sensor is in the wrong location to get an accurate reading in the exhaust system. The sensor probe is in the muffler and outside of the baffle in relation to the exhaust flow. Thinking about cutting a bigger hole in the...
Hello,
Need tune for a 2005 with ramair and carpenter sidewinder exhaust. I looked on tuneEcu and didnt find a tune there that matches this combo. Anyone have one of Hans tunes they can send me?
My rear brake was not activating the brake light so me being the ever smart guy looked at what I had installed last to see if that was the cause of my problem, well the Carpenter sidewinder that I installed a few months back has fried the electrical wires from the rear cylinder area and I mean...
Trying to make custom heat shields for a 2" curved header pipe with a 3.5" center line radius. Figured I would go with a 2.25" curved pipe. Does that sound about right? Also does anyone know what CLR is needed to follow the outside contour of the pipe?
I am selling a Carpenter Sidewinder Exhaust(black), used for 2 months. I am selling because I prefer the look of dual exhaust so I replaced the original header with TOR's I paid $1,400 will sell for $900 plus shipping
okay is the pipe hot yes but not hot enough for any discomfort, now sitting at a traffic light you do have to move your leg over a wee bit.
When moving the air keeps the heat away from you, I wonder if the ones who complain about the heat have any kind of fairing or wind deflectors?
One point...
I wrote these up in a private converstaion for another member who asked for some tips and figured I might as well share with the broader group.
Some general pieces of advice before you start:
The pipes come with only springs and the pipes themselves (at least mine did) however installation is...
Hi guys,
im looking for a map for my friend who has a 2014 rocket roadster with ram air intake (possibly changing to triple k&n's) and he has just ordered a carpenter sidewinder system.
We are trying to avoid using a power commander so hoping for maybe a tuneecu map if theres one available or...
Just wondering when about the correct map. I am having a couple of issues that might be corrected with the ECU. The bike randomly dies at idle (it will idle then and it will backfire through the air filters and then die) and in 5th gear around 3000 rpm there is a constant slight missing...
Hey Guys,
Just got my brand new sidewinder exhaust from carpenter. Super excited about it.
The only issue is that the box did not come with any hardware or instructions except some springs. I think it might use stock hardware, but just curious.
Has anyone installed carpenter pipes before that...
