Exhaust

[aviation1972]

There's no sense in phoning someone who is across the country. I'd rather resolve an issue face to face. Phone call is no different than a keyboard warrior

Thanks 1olbull for the website for CES, and thank you too EasTexRIII for your wisdom. I'm not happy at all, thinking about the lack of a smooth interior wall inside the flex pipe. I've got enough common sense to have thought about that myself, ( but I didn't ). You don't have to be a master mechanic to envision that rough interior surface wall inside the flex pipe, but I didn't think about it. I'll look at the bright side. Maybe it will help my Rocket create a little more "helpful" back pressure. What do you think? Could that be possible? Might it not be such a bad thing? For my sake, I hope not... Russell

Me & wisdom in the same sentence is an oxymoron
Don't worry too much. That exhaust should give you all the enhancement you need (remember, this bike doesn't need much help) run it till it rots & it may never rot. It should be fine. A new tune will do the most for you - Thanks HansO!
With all things considered, you are not even going to Notice the tiny amount of mph that might possibly be lost with the flex pipe (if there even actually is any). That's just splitting hairs. Sleep well with your choice - it will be fine

Thanks a million. I will try to sleep comfortably with my choice... Russell

Good advice. Thanks. Guess I'll do that.

Speaking of, would be neat to have a directory of dynos, with as much as possible objective observations (e.g., "This guy is magic -- worth a 500 mile trip", or, "This guy can do the run, but you're on your own for what to do with data.").

As I said before my flex pipe looks nothing like the picture provide by Paul at all. It is smooth on the inside and is made to expel the exhaust gases. Just ask Skanska161 he did a Dyno before and after on his Tour. Before was 106hp and 127tq after was 137hp and 167tq gain of 31hp and 40tq. Not bad numbers with about $500 in parts plus dyno cost. He had HansO tune K&N filter and my exhaust.

if you search ces exhaust,you will find one of the most beautiful exhausts made for a rocket,in my opinion.installation takes about half an hour, and the fit is awesome,materials and cratmanship is second to none.
