papac2000 Posted April 4, 2015 Author Share Posted April 4, 2015 Since that's essentially what a DB killer is, I can't see the harm in doing it that way. It may limit power output since the outlet is the bottleneck. My opinion after the two versions so far is that the happy medium would be a 1in hole in the baffle with the 2in outlet. 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...
b12ty Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 I did try sticking the original tailpipe inside the 2" pipe, same sound, but quieter. So it would seem that may be a way to go. Sound seems to be affected by those 2 things, hole size into cat chamber, and outlet size. ( assuming you get rid of the s pipe. ) Up in the canyons early this morning, I thought it sounded great. Just a enough of a low rumble when cruising along in 5-6 gear to let you know it's there, and nice rising pitched growl/wail when you get on it in lower gears. I still think it's a bit loud stoplight to stoplight, but think i'm getting used to it. A friend up there thought it sounded great.

Premium Member ULEWZ Posted April 13, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted April 13, 2015 Exhaust number 3 going under the knife courtesy of my friend Ty. The same mod he did, but without the 2 inch pipe being added to the tip. I will post up sound when it gets done. A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.

Tracerforme Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Ulewz, does this mod version include the 1.5in hole in the cat chamber or smaller? I'm thinking of doing this version since my welding is shithouse. Please let us know your method & review. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking of doing this version since my welding is shethouse. Please let us know your method & review. Thanks. And then there were three. Thanks a million Ty. The hole into the cat chamber is the size of the S pipe that got cut. Part of the cut pipe is put into the hole in the Cat chamber and welded on. I had Ty leave the stock outlet port on, and it still sounds amazing and is way easier to fab up. Two thumbs up. Hopefully Ty will post us some more pictures. He also did a great job on the welding.

Premium Member ULEWZ Posted April 18, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted April 18, 2015 I also feel bad, as the welding he did on mine looks almost factory. Great job Ty.

b12ty Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Glad you like it Lewis! Looking forward to hearing your review when you get a chance to give it a good riding test. Sounded great in your yard. A bit quieter maybe, maybe not, but the same deep sound. I learned a few tricks this go around with the welding. I'm used to welding on thicker material, so this was a good learning experience for me. I was able to totally remove the stub of the S pipe, right up to the final necked down weld on the stock tip, ( papac200 will know what i'm talking about ) using a dremel from inside the exhaust tip end. So the rear chamber is totally open into the the tailpipe. I did take some pics, and I will post them up when I get a chance. And thank you for the expert mounting and balancing of my Suzuki's new rear tire!

Tracerforme Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Ty, you must show us some of the pics to see what you did on this version. I'm thinking this is the direction I'll be taking since it doesn't require an extra piece of pipe. Looking forward to your review & sound clips...... Cheers my good men! Pioneers of pipes!

Premium Member ULEWZ Posted April 19, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted April 19, 2015 This is what Ty did to mine also. Cut the S pipe and welded it into the new hole by the Cat chamber. The only difference is he did not mod the outlet pipe. I still have the factory little outlet pipe cut off as far up as possible. That is the picture you need to see from Ty.

b12ty Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Ok, so here's what I did to Lewis's muffler: After cutting out the s pipe and drilling additional hole, you are still left with this remnant. This goes thru the outer shell and is welded to the outer tailpipe sleeve a couple inches from the tip. We want to remove that. I used a dremel with a cutoff wheel to cut thru the inner layer only, going in from the outside tailpipe tip. S pipe remnant removed. Now the exhaust flow can go directly out the rear chamber relatively unobstructed. Secondary hole getting pipe welded in. Top welded back on. I had cut along existing weld line where possible this time. Helped when rewelding it back together.
