R6 Muffler on a YZF 600R?
I have an aftermaket Vance and Hines that I don't like at all. Has anyone tried or considered putting the stock Titanium R6 muffler on their YZF? I'm wondering if the muffler will be able to clear the swingarm and footpeg? They are cheap and would look better than the stock pipe I think... Any thoughts? Anyone heard of it?R6 Muffler on a YZF 600R?

Why is my bike backfiring?
I have a 93 shadow vt1100 and when you let off the gas at high rpms I'm getting a backfiring. Some people think it sounds good but I don't really like it. I'm not sure if its the Vance and Hines exhaust thats on it or if there's something else. Any help please. ThanksWhy is my bike backfiring?
When after market pipes are fitted it should be rejetted to suit but needs to by someone who knows how to do it properly its not just a case of buying a couple of jets and putting them in. If you are only using unleaded put premium in and you will notice a big differenceWhy is my bike backfiring?
If you changed exhausts without re-jetting the carbs you are running lean. Your air/ fuel mix needs more fuel.
If you have re-jetted the carbs, then you may need to balance them.Why is my bike backfiring?
Your aftermarket exhaust has probably leaned out your mixture if you did not re-jet for it. A leak at the exhaust pipe flange could also cause backfiring.
Either exhaust leak or fuel mixture is off causing bike to run lean. Check for leaks in the exhaust and adjust pilot screw if necessary. This will make your fuel mixture richer. If you don't know how to do it yourself take it to someone you trust. Decel popping won't hurt anything by the way.

Typical displacement/ HP gain/loss from aftermarket pipes.?
Im looking to find the stats on Vance and Hines Cruzer and Cobra 2 into 1 Powerpro HP pipes. as much info as possible. I have the prices but im trying to find more stats.Typical displacement/ HP gain/loss from aftermarket pipes.?
Good luck. Stats on bike mods are hardly ever given. Bikes have fairly simple, short exhaust systems. There usually isn't a lot to be gained. Often, bikes lose a little, but not always. Anyways, it is all pretty anecdotal since the exhaust makers don't put any info out.
Displacement is a factor of engine geometry. It is calculated as the volume of the cylinder that is "bore" in diameter and "stroke" in height, times number of cylinders. Exhaust doesn't change that.
Exhaust on bikes is often changed because the old one rusted out (not so much these days), or the user likes the look and/or sound of the new pipe. There just isn't a whole lot of performance to be gained with it on a modern car, much less a modern bike.
Now, tell us what kind of bike you are talking about.Typical displacement/ HP gain/loss from aftermarket pipes.?
Your Aero is a 750cc, so it has maybe 40 or 42 horsepower. If you get 3 more horsepower with the new pipe you will be lucky, as most V-twin pipes are not sold on performance, more looks or sound. With your other changes maybe a bit more power. You will likely notice the difference, but its not going to blow your socks off. But hey its a good bike, plenty of power, and if you like the new pipes and other changes to make it YOUR bike go for it. If you need 100 hp, look for a much bigger bike.

Harley exhaust help please?
I have a 2005 Harley FXST softail standard with 88ci carburated engine, with Vance and Hines straightshots HS installed by Harley. I am wanting to put unbaffled Samson Groundpounders on it because I like the sound so much better. I am wanting to know if there are any pros out there who can tell me what if anything special I need to do to it first. I have heard lots of things about back pressure, reversion cones, torque cones, nothing at all, just slap them on. ect. ect.
I am needing help so I do it right. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Where I live nobody cares about the roar! Thanks in advance........Harley exhaust help please?
Your carb will very likely need to be jetted a bit fatter.
The torque cones and reversion cones your hearing about are supposed to help make up for the lost back pressure that comes with running uncorked pipes.
I've not been very happy with cones, they really are not the same as back pressure made in the middle of the pipes.
If you've got your heart set on running straight pipes, just re-jet and live with the flat spots in your power band ( usually out of the hole power is lost)
Consider cutting the baffles in half, better sound and still reasonable back pressure.
After you put them on you might want to take your bike in to the dealership and get them to re jet your carb. but that should be it. I run straight pipes on my 03. I was told all about loosing back pressure and how it would decrees power. But I have never experienced any power lose.Harley exhaust help please?
I've changed the exhausts on all my Harleys. The carburated models are cheaper to do. First off, when you installed the V%26amp;H pipes, did you rejet the carb? you should have. If not, your gonna have to after you install the new pipes for sure. If you did rejet, you may not have to with the new pipes, but you have to have it checked on a dyno to be sure. Dyno time runs around $360.00 for 5 hours. If your dealership has already installed those pipes on that year and model bike, it only needs a 1 hour session on the dyno since they already have the proper "map" set up. If not, they will charge you for the full 5 hours.
The reason for the rejetis this: When you change out to a free flowing exhaust, you reduce the "back pressure" on the motor, this causes the motor to run leaner. Too lean causes overheating, pinging under acceleration, and flat spots in the power band. It can also cause engine damage. Also, it is always best to change your aircleaner set up to a high volume set up like the screaming eagle stage 1 kit. This allows the motor to get more air, which cause it to perform better. It is always recomended that you change this air cleaner when you install pipes. This will increase your horse power and torque. On my '06 Dyna wide glide, by installing SE2 pipes and the stage 1 kit, I got 12 HP more and changed the limiter setting on the rpms. On my '07 ultra classic, I installed python pipes, the stage 1 kit and gained 22.9 HP and went up to 90.3 ft pounds of torque. This of course after dyno tuning the motor on both bikes. On the dyna, they had a map already and it cost me for 1 hr of time. On the classic, it cost me for 5 hrs.
AAWWEE....the beautiful sound of a straight unbaffled Harley exhaust. After installing the new pipes more than likely you will be running lean. Running lean can cause piston failure due to excessive heat in the cylinder. You need to re-jet the carb after the install. There 3 jets in the carb that will need to be changed. Main jet, needle jet and pilot jet. These jets work over the entire range of throtle response. To check how you are running you need to do a Plug Chop. Wrap a piece of tape around the throttle, open the throttle all the way open and mark the tape at that position.(put a mark on the ignition housing to align marks with) Now position throttle half way between full and none and mark that. Now mark positions at 1/4 and 3/4. Now get 3 sets of brand new plugs. On a set of old plugs run the bike up to operating tempature. Put in a set of new plugs. Run bike at 1/4 throttle for atleast 5 miles. DO NOT let off the throttle, but pull in the clutch and kill the bike and coast to a stop. Pull plugs and ya want them to have a nice carmel brown color. Dark chocolate is too rich and white chocolate is too lean. Now put in another set of new plugs and do the same thing at 1/2 throttle. Check plugs and put in new set of plugs. Now do the same thing at 3/4 throttle. Again check plugs, looking for that nice carmel brown color. Adjust jets accordingly, too rich (dark chocolate) needs a smaller jet, too lean (white chocolate) needs a bigger jet.
LOUD PIPES SAVE LIVES
...............o~`o............Ride on and Ride safeHarley exhaust help please?
after they are on and running,
check the plugs, odds are the bike will be running lean.
not only does this hurt power but can damage the pistons.
don't let it go like that..rejet the carb as soon as you can !
the dealer probably checked your fuel ratio %26amp; rejetted when they installed the V%26amp;H pipes so it would "probably" be close to right for the samsons too. it should be Ok to put the samsons on %26amp; try them for a while. check your plugs after a hiway run before you let it idle, for any blisters or melted electrode indications, the ceramic part should be tan ,brown or black to be safe. plugs will usually be black after it idles a while, that just makes them hard to read.the torque cones wont do you much good with a stock cam. but may improve your idle %26amp; low speed response. I'm experimenting with cones now. with 2'' drag pipes they kill the upper rpm range on the 96"with a crane 308b cam I,m trying them on, but with 1 3/4 pipes the cones work great, I,m goin to try a 3 step 2 into 1 with %26amp; without the cones next. trying to get that exaust reversion wave into a broad rpm range seems to be more alchemy than science so try the cones out if you have the time, their cheap.

I'm looking in to a Cobra exhaust system for my Vulcan 900 Custom... Is a fuel management must have???
I'm in the process of getting a set of pipes for my bike and in mind I have a set of Cobras 2 into 1 or the Speedster slashdown. Also Vance and hines have some nice ones too.
Here is my question???
The store that I called said that if I change the pipes then I HAVE to get a fuel management controler. Anyone out there knows if its really needed??? What happens if you don't get that? I know in a car you can just change the exhaust and the intake with out a management controler but then again thats a different world. Money is not really an issue is just that I hate to spend money on uneeded things. If you have a Vulcan 900 and added pipes can you please tell me if it really made a difference in sound and what brand did you get.
Tks for your advise!I'm looking in to a Cobra exhaust system for my Vulcan 900 Custom... Is a fuel management must have???
i belive ur asking about a power commander. yes, it's highly adviseable to have 1. they're for fuel injected bikes, and they control the air/fuel mix to get the best performance

How can i tell if my 2002 sportster 883 is a sport or not?
vance and hines needs to know in order to get the right exhaust kitHow can i tell if my 2002 sportster 883 is a sport or not?
You answered your own question....it's an 883...Harley never made an 883 Sport Model, the Sport Models were 1200's only. Not only that, the only thing that made them a Sport Model was dual front disc, fully adjustable cartridge style forks, fully adjustable shock, slightly hotter cams, different combustion chamber shape and dual plug ignition.....NONE of this would matter for an exhaust system, the only thing that affect the exhaust would be forward or mid-shift foot controls.How can i tell if my 2002 sportster 883 is a sport or not?
Your question was answered already, but have you thought of doing a 1200 upgrade? It was the best money I ever spent on my old Sportster. The difference was amazing, and it wasn't really all that much more expensive than a set of nice pipes.How can i tell if my 2002 sportster 883 is a sport or not?
Buy a 2 into 1 exhaust, they out perform all 2 into 2 exhaust.
So you have no idea what bike you own. Why not sell it cheep to someone who likes motorcycles?duplicolor
