Tracerforme Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 :oWhat did you get Papac? I didn't. I'd be shot at work if I measured off the computer screen. 3D CAD & CAM for us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papac2000 Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 :oWhat did you get Papac? I didn't. I'd be shot at work if I measured off the computer screen. 3D CAD & CAM for us! Since the piece I am holding in the picture is a known entity, and we have a diameter measurement for that....he used that as the dimension for the opening from where it was cut off at the baffle. He then used the ratio posted to extrapolate the length it protrudes from the baffle. Not perfect perhaps, but there is some room for error here. At this point, since I am NOT cutting it all back apart again, there are a few choice for those who choose to replicate this mod. Choice 1: Cut the top open and follow the procedure as I did it Choice 2: Use the approximate dimensions derived from the sketches to do the "less invasive surgery" method and document to be the guinea pig and improve the community. Choice 3: Wait until someone else does it and posts exact dimensions. Have fun with it! Looking forward to someone's improved (prettier) version of this and their real world impressions of the sound first-hand, and riding impressions (as we still have too much damn snow). 2015 Matte Grey Modded stock exhaust, modded stock screen, modded stock seat, OEM heated grips, LED indicators, FlashTuned ECU, ZX10R shock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracerforme Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Ahhhh, that damn snow! I do feel for you Papac. I simply can't imagine not being able to ride a brand new bike because of it! Still, you have one and I don't. Cheers, Thanks for your input. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papac2000 Posted March 13, 2015 Author Share Posted March 13, 2015 If someone attempts the suggested "less invasive" method, perhaps they could do a step by step HOW-TO. I guess my mod can serve as the pioneering groundwork for a prettier, more easily replicated method. The suggestions are there for how it could be improved upon for less cutting etc, and it would be better to use that new version IMO. I am more than happy with the results, both power gains and sound.

b12ty Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Exhaust is too quiet. I like the look though. I either end up saving $1,000+ or.... i'm out $550ish if I screw it up. Pics and sound vids as I have time to work on it. Ty '05 Bandit 1200s ( Blue and White ) Bandit pic 2015 FJ-09 ( RED ) FJ-09 pic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papac2000 Posted March 24, 2015 Author Share Posted March 24, 2015 Best of luck! A smaller cutoff disc tool may allow more precise cuts, if you can get one. Will be watching your progress with interest. 2015 Matte Grey Modded stock exhaust, modded stock screen, modded stock seat, OEM heated grips, LED indicators, FlashTuned ECU, ZX10R shock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracerforme Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 8-)Ty, you gonna cut your O2 sensor wire? I think you're gonna need it! Good luck with the cuts. Keep us posted! Cheers, Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have other tools also. That was just a quick pic to show my "intentions" !

b12ty Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 This is a very rough sketch of what's inside the cat/muffler, before and after i'm done. papac2000 style. ( internal pipes laid out beside each other for clarity ) No turning back now. Made the cuts... Aha! This upper tube extends into the cat chamber aprox 2-3". Cat off to the right inside 1" back from wall. Some measurements... S pipe cut out... getting dark, that's all for today. At this point, this is at stage 1, stage 2 will to be to cut off the exhaust tip and add a 2" diameter one. And drill another hole to the right of upper pipe. 1-1.5"?

grogsym Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Looking good, although your tape measure appears to be broken. It looks like there are 16 millimeters for each centimetre... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
