I have the buell race pipe.It sounds great its not as loud as some claim. I've had to pipe for over a year on the street and the track. I ride with jap bikes with full exhausts some of them are louder then me. Nobody ever says my bike it too loud. I've never been stopped by the police on the street. My v-rod was louder, I had a vance hines indy race pipe w/baffle. Now that was loud!!!!!! |

When I heard Dannys bike I fell in love with the sound. The only pipes I've heard in person is the buell pipe. Fmf full which latus was using I heard it in the dock.jardine, stock ,& the hmf on dairylands bike .They let me rev it up in the dock. And the fmf / buell seemed to be the winner with my ears. |

Its just a straight perforated pipe going through what appears to be a muffler. It does make it quieter opposed to just having a solid straight through pipe. |

At least buell was smart enough to use ss packing instead of fiberglass .Jardines hmfs fmfs are all fiberglass.What you got there mike is a pipe that will never or will take a long time to burn the packing out?Most of these companys dont tell you that if you run the stock tune with a jardine,hmf,fmf that you burn the packing out in 5 k.What a joke!!! Thanks for the pics mike good stuff.I plan on using stainless packing in my pipe i plan on making.It will only be a slipon.But im looking to do a similiar style as the buell.I cant wait till monday and talk to my buddy at the muffler company/shop.They hydroform, roll form, all that great stuff. |

So backflash: is it possible to "upgrade" to SS in a pipe that uses fiberglass packing? Where would one get the SS? And would SS be compatible with a CF can? |

I found this while hunting around for alternatives. It's on another forum. The stuff is similar to asbestos I guess, in that it doesn't burn easily.
quote:First off, fibreglass packing is at least a pain. Doesn't last long enough no matter who sells it to you. I tried fibreglass in the Yosh slip-ons on my '86 vfr for 5 or 6 seasons and had to repack every year. Then I discovered "SUPERWOOL 607". It is an industrial insulation for hi-temp applications such as turbocharger blankets on large gas compressors (2000+ HP). It is also used to wrap steel pipe prior to stress-relieving weld joints. It is a "Refractory Ceramic Fiber product" made from "Crystalline silica formed at over 1800' F', according to the manufacturer. It comes in a bulk blanket form, about 1.25 inches thick, which I cut to size easily with ordinary household scissors. This stuff does not burn out period. I have a small plastic grocery bag full and have only repacked the "old' vfr mufflers twice in 8 years. Once the first time and once when I had the pipes disassembled for nickel plating and polishing the canisters. Even then, the packing was in great shape physically, just dirty is all. If you can contact some industrial (oilfield) insulators or (pipe) stress relievers locally, they should have it in stock. If not, here is the manufacturers information: Thermal Ceramics, Agusta Ga. at 800-722-5681. They will probably give you a line about it not being meant for this application. Well they are right, it isn't. In fact it is far superior to anything you will ever find. NOW FOR THE SAFETY WARNING! IT IS A SUSPECTED CARCINOGEN AND SHOULD BE HANDLED WITH A MASK AND GLOVES, WASH CLOTHING AFTERWARD. Again this is from the manufacturer's label and I assume no responsibility for anything at all. You are on your own! That being said, SUPERWOOL 607 will be the last packing you will buy. Period. It works for me. And No, I cannot get you any. I had to ask someone nicely for my tiny stash and I expect it to last at least 20 years or more at the rate it's going! Hope this helps. -------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Special Addendum by Greg Leach I have some info that may help some of the DIY people. The report on repacking exhaust cans tells of a permanent packing material called superwool, but does not tell where to get the stuff. Superwool goes by various trade names, but is essentially a flame (heat) proof space-industry spin off that looks like a 1" thick roll of white cotton. This material comes in 24" wide rolls, and sells for about $2.50 a square foot. Most applications need 2 square feet. This material can be found at any store that sells ceramic/pottery supplies like clay, glaze, and kilns. Do wear gloves and a mask when handling it because it does contain fibres that will easily embed in your hands or lungs. I hope this helps, and feel free to edit as needed.
Forum link is http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=43 895 The product itself http://www.thermalceramics.com/site.asp?siteid=4&p ageid=44 |

Is the magic in the Buell Race Exhaust the headers? I ask because Mike's pictures look very similar to the inside of my HMF. When the times comes for repacking my HMF, I would be interested in using SS as Blackflash mentions, thanks for the tip. Jeff |

I believe the down pipes f& r are longer then join together in front of the muffler. That makes good torque.That's plenty good enough. A x pipe probably Adds 200.00 to a exhaust system. I don't think the x pipes really help much either. It does help but not much. They say you gain minscule amounts on a v8 over a crossover t tube/or y conjunction found on camaros/mustangs.it was a muscle mustang mag dyno shootout I read about pipes .maybe 5 hp over h pipe on a 400 ci motor. So calculate the cc on this bike it's even smaller.I'm going with a y equalizer tube setup like the buell system with long down pipes.This keeps cost down . 1 to 2 peek hp isn't worth 200$ on a pipe in my eyes. It's just a showpiece that's all. Showpieces that people can't afford and wiegh more. |

mike does it look like the baffle inside the muffler is bigger that the 2 into 1 y conjunction?The y conjunction seems to look 2" as well?They would detonate alot of sound if so and keep the flow regulated. |

2.5 O.D.? Where the y is located is a excellent spot for sound detonation.The y merge compresses the two together at the last minute. |

I would imagine that one would be a bit loud. I've got a design set in my head now and I have some theories on how to dampen the sound. It will be different enough from the current systems that it will hopefully be set a bit apart from them in terms of looks, sound and what it costs me to make it. I doubt I'll do the headers, 1.75" primaries for a street bike is plenty in my mind. I'll stick with my original plan and go with the 2.5" midpipe and outlet/outlets. I'm kinda liking the idea of a cannon hole for an outlet, plus there's a reason the race pipe is that size, same as the stock pipe internals. ![: )](http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/clipart/happy.gif) |

Good plan both of you guys. If I ever do another one I am going to buy perforated tubes and build a turbo type system from scratch with as long primaries as practical that would fit nicely and completely under the 1125's engine and still clear a full fairing. I really believe after all my work with other vehicles its the only way to have performance AND a reasonably quiet system that sounds nice. Racing where loud sound is not a problem would be different as noted by Buells race pipe. Bob |

Well I finally ended up at the exhaust company today.They set me up with there engineer and was completely awesome about what im trying to achieve.A great flowing multi chambered deep sounding exhaust system that will never burn the packing out.They designed me a muffler in a 4 x8 x 10 long oval case that look like a piece of art.The tig welders and there welds looked awesome. I toured the entire shop met all the supervisors.They really took the time to help me.I didnt know that there was people like that out there anymore. All the components are 304 stainless "Even the packing".They bent me up some quick downpipes to get me started. When i was there I was looking at all the pictures of pro fuuny drag cars chassis they were working on/motorcycles and trick custom stuff they make.They just finished production of a delorian exhaust sytem.They all gathered around took a very close look at my cutout muffler and focus on making the flow just a little more but also focus on keeping it light and deep sounding.They have great prices too.I should have my prototype by next wendsday.I also plan on tucking it up more to the engine tighter than the drummer.Hopefully by next week after I mock it all up it will be ready for a dyno test.First stock then with the o s b tune stock.Then onto the muffler with stock form ecu then with the o s b performance flash. Then if changes need made I will open it up and do some playing.I walked out with plenty of money in my pocket to.A big plus!! |
