Soooo, I bought a newer style bub for my s1w and it doesn't fit......

I had an oem pipe on there that was wrecked, and it fit just fine.

The bub just won't clear the way I need it to. The angle from the pipe to the frame is wrong. I need help deciding whether to try to trade off the pipe for something else or to cut and weld the bub. I would hate to do it, but are they worth too much to cut?

I know a good welder, but not a cheap chrome dipper, so I also need to decide whether to re dip it if I cut and weld, or to jet coat the system.

any input would be great! I feel stuck!

I wouldn't cut up that exhaust. They are very rare and hard to come by. If you do want to get rid of it I would like to buy that pipe from you.

the problem your going to run into is (some one correct me if I am wrong) But there is not many if any pipe companies that still make a pipe for the older style tubers so you may have to mod what ever pipe you do get. Or buy something used.

Force still makes an exhaust for the old tubers, and Kooks still has a few in stock. The problem with those is the pricetag. You could always do what I'm doing and have a larger collector and elbow welded into the stock header...

The kooks system will run you about 600 dollars, imo its well worth the money.

The force can be had for 450-500 new.

Phelan, problem with that is that I don't have a stock header for an s1 or anything. The M2 header I had is trash.......

Well, I have an S2 header that is polished buy has a small dent in it. SportyEric has dibs on it if he wants it because he's sending me one without a dent for me to modify, but if he doesn't want it I'll let it go cheap.

Ask around and find a Buell race exhaust. Worth every penny and will fit right first time every time.

Worth every penny that we ain't got! LOL. Some of us can't come up with $4-500 to drop on a decent exhaust...

I have a line on a used Force for a right price....

Thanks for the input guys! I still wish that Bub would've fit. It's going to a good home for what I paid for it.
