Don't forget 'oil'......

have I been a prick at times while posting

Aye - but a Scottish one - i.e not that intrusive

I too am eager to hear the difference @Cav Man. Looks great on your Rocket.

It will be interesting to see how the extra length effects the tone, certainly it'll make it a bit quieter, but I'm very curious if you will have a similar tone to mine, sort of like an old single engine fighter plane.

@ozrider I LOVE the branding plate you've put on there, looks fantastic!

As a reminder:

You can hear it at least a mile away when on throttle lol.

Great sound. Good looking too

Now I spend a fortune on gaffer(duct) tape as each time I wear my kilt I have to bend and tape a certain member in half to stop it scrapping along the ground oh the pain of being a Scotsman

Why not the extra in one of your boots?

The stock answer is - It stops the sheeps legs sliding inside.

I thought there was another thread that this reply would be appropriate for
CALLING ALL SHORT LEGS!

Now bud if you have piles dragging the ground there might be less painful way involved than using duct tape to remove them.

I am happy that you are happy. I have run neither one, but I find it confusing that you feel the brute is better when you have not ran the @ozrider system or even looked at one in person.
Merry Chrustmas!

WELL I dont use the CARP COPY aka OZ PIPE or the other CARP PIPE and Im making more HP with the BRUTE but I would think the OZ would make good power as it is so close to the CARP in design and it wouid be a good alternative as it should cost less not being 304 stainless and polished or have the expensive aluminum manifold that is a pricey BUT I havnt heard the price yet no one seems to know so I cant dompare

As a side note: I guess this was done to spread the torque out?

Quite correct.
The formula for tube length asks at what specific RPM do you want maximum power.
For a race Engine NASCAR for example, the Engine is built specifically to one particular RPM.
For a road going Vehicle, a broad spread of power is required.
Variable pipe length assists in this.

The Brute pipe for example is well known for it's power delivery, yet the tube length varies considerably.
Green is the rear cylinder pipe, red the front.

Re "original design" when I first looked at developing a Header for the Rocket I looked at was currently available.
Personally, I think that the Brute pipe really captures the essence of the Rocket.

But I was not just going to just copy that style, that's pretty "tacky" as far as I'm concerned, any one can just copy another (Didn't the Japanese do this in the 70's ?)

So I developed my own style addressing some of the issues that were current, heat on the Riders leg for example.

It's all very well being "the fastest Kid on the Block" but if you can't sustain riding for long periods of time what is the point.
Remember "It's not how fast you go along, it's how long you go fast"
