Are these only for the XB12's? Got a Dyno sheet? That is one sweet looking set up. Looks like a lot of thought went into that. I'd like to know more about it. |

Rob you guys rock. I've got a buddy who I'm e-mailing those pictures to. He wants a new exhaust for his 12, bad, and this looks to be right up his alley. |

Rob, 1) Does it incorporate the jacking points in the can? 2) What’s the price going to look like, (don't know why I'm curious, Kinda got my heart set on a Drummer)

That is an interesting exhaust system tho,.. but what is the deal with all those springs? The only exhaust that I know of having springs on it is on my dirtbike! |

Springs are usually used in place of clamps on slip-fit tube joints. Perhaps the springs are a way to overcome vibratory destruction of the exhaust system. There are many design solutions to implied problems. With that many slip joints I'd be concerned with leaks a little bit. Looks punkishly industrial to me. Might be nice on an older tuber S1 in some streetfighter ornery way. Not a criticism, just a comment. |

Perhaps somebody should persuade the factory that there is demand for a Ti exhaust and make it a standard fitment, as I believe most of the Japanese literbikes now have Ti exhausts |

That pipe in stainless would sell well too I'm thinking. I'm very interested in the dyno results. |

I have another question..... In the second picture, what is the purpose of the two pipes coming together and then splitting again, forming an "X" shape? Why not just run the two pipes right down into the can?

The X or crossover pipe equalizes exhaust pulses and helps scavage one cylinder as the other is firing. It works, the X technology has proven to be better than a straight crossover as it causes less turbulence in the gas flow. This system looks really cool (I especially like the muffler!!!!) I think the bike looks good with the chin spoiler removed.. as long as the muffler looks decent (the stock one doesnt look good uncovered) |

I know lots..... we've done test on our race bikes that have proven not to work as well as unequal length headers. and equal lengths on this 45 degree v twins with uneven fireing pulses don't work as well either. Not saying the x and equal lengths are terrible just saying not as well. atleast for across the board power. my big question is tho....where are the dyno's tiforce is alegitamate company no doubt. That I am not questioning. and is the developed this pipe they have the dyno's and if someone comes on here to show a new product and is ask for some feedback. we as potential customers should not have to wait all day. and any other questions that we have should be answered promptly. or is this force in deguise. I know ya'll think I am bitching and I am not. I am just saying that, this was put up at 1:30 in the morning this morning. The first question for dyno's was at 9:30, now it's 7pm. and no questions have been answered. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying it is not going to work, but someone comes on here with a total of 2 post to their name now, selling something and you all our liking the product and its unproven by a person who is possibly the distributor, asking for $1295 of your money, let alone a pcIII and dyno time on top of that. don't you believe you deserve an answer to your questions. or am I just a dumb bitch. |

Bubba, Rob is a member of another board I'm on. I don't think he deals with the Buells all that much. Other than that he's a stand up guy and he's a drag racer to. I'll see if I can't get a hold of him and get him back on here to post some dynos or answer questions. |

Thats a good point bubba. Tiforce is a big company, i`m sure they dynoed the exhaust to see if it actually worked, right? Those big fat headpipes might hurt lowend torque alittle. But it sure does look pretty! |

yes, the workman ship of the construction i have absolutely no doubt about. no doubts. pretty yes...it looks very cool. i know they have been making pipes for a while now. so again don't post up and then disappear. we as buellers get shuufled around by the great almighty enuff. we don't need the after market getting us also. just ask misato about that. gator i am not questioning his standupness. but you did confirm my thoughts....he's not that up on the buells, and what we as buellers have gone thru. hell i consider myself a newbie i have only owned a buell since 99. i am new in some eyes. i am old in others. what i am saying is simply we as buellers should be more descriminating in what we go gaga over before we go down the road. hell i hope it works and shows good numbers more than anything. some may think i am looking at this as competition, but i don't. alot of people don't want to spend that type of money on an exhaust. unless it just kicks the shit out of everything else. i care about us as group of people and i almost get myself fired or yelled at everyday trying to make our world as riders of the funnest damn bikes in the world, better. maybe i go to far sometimes and maybe i take my job too seriously. just ask my ex girl if i do. but the fact remains on his profile he put tiforce as his homepage....makes me think that rob is a distributor. maybe i am wrong but why else would he post up on a site he's never been on. i won't go any further.....just show me the proof in the pudding |
