    Exhaust pipe maker wanted

    Does anyone know of a custom exhaust fabricator ???


    I`ve got a pair of Ducati carbon fibre Termignoni cans that I fancy fitting to my XLV750R but there will be a need for one-off headers to complete the job...ideally in stainless steel.


    Thanks in anticipation.

    powerflow make custom one off exhausts. They have a number of franchises in the uk. check out their website for details.

    They made me a one off stainless exhaust for my TVR ... 3" stainless front to back, with a 4" tailpipe. minimal silencing.. £330 +vat fitted.

    You can also give Predator Motorsports a try.

    I love those pics!! I love the idea of dual pipes.. and was considering it my self.. in fact just contacted today a bunch of places asking what it would cost and how it would effect my bike...

    Tarka, I just got an email back from GAZELLE, and they have done an xlv 750, go to there site and click on misc in the gallery.. it look really great ....
    here is their email cut and pasted...(hope i am not breaking any laws here )

    Hi,
    yes we can build you a stainless system to any spec a twin silencer system see pictures of our xlv 750 system will work out to around £675.00 all in (no additional VAT) depending on the final spec

    and a single silencer system around £450 to 550


    our system is a lot lighter street legal and stamped BSAU193 no re jetting required from standard please give me a ring for more details 01239 841715

    titanium is expensive roughly 3 times the price of a stainless system. There is a big weight saving on our stainless systems compared to the factory originals

    our system has a slightly deeper tone but is still nice and quiet


    Brausch from GAZELLE 01239 841715

    Its the cost that gets me. thats one of the things i like about the @ as there is only one can to change and the reason i won't do anything to the dommie cause there is 2 cans.

    I agree.. the cost is bloody scary!!! The prob with the aftermarket can for the @ is they are all so Bloody loud! and i don't want the hole town knowing when i am going though, especially the coppers
    I am not sure what i am gunna do.. but we shall see.

    I love the idea of twin pipes though.. if it is light and quiet and allow my boxes to sit lower.. i would be in heaven..

    Is there anyone here that know a lot about exhausts and why one is set up for one type of bike and others aren't (I know all about flow and back pressure but not enough to adapt one pipe for one bike to another)? Like what tarka wants to do, what will this do to the bikes performance, or will do you just have to hope and rejet. There are soooooooo many end cans on ebay for other bikes and any muffle shop could bend me up so tubes.. (or some on here who is a steely and rides german @ type machine.. no hints intended ) .. sorry just thought streaming
