Here is my y pipe, its not ideal as it doesn't split evenly and one can gets loads hotter than the other, it'll do for now though! Sent from my HTC Desire HD A9191 using Tapatalk 2

Heres a sound clip guys, it was taken on my phone which doesnt really do it justice, it sounds awesome when riding, really deep low bassy sound, no tinny noises at all I love it. Yahama FZ6 sound - custom exhaust pipes - YouTube

Here is the finished project guys, I'm really happy. I think the look awesome, and the noise is immense. It crackles and pops on the overun, just puts a big smile on my face! I'll try and upload a video later on to show how it sounds! Sent from my HTC Desire HD A9191 using Tapatalk 2

I cleaned the cans up a little yesterday, here are some better pictures of them. I also managed to find a company called SP Engineering who make 'y' pipes. So I ordered one on Tuesday and it arrived yesterday! Came complete with mounting brackets for the cans, result! I did actually fit them...

Its getting exciting now guys, spent all day beavering away in my garage. Got the ali tubes cut down by 2 inches, for clearance and looks. Reduced the OD on the ends so the carbon slipped on nicley. Cut down the baffle tubes. Pushed the inlet caps onto the baffle tubes. Wrapped the...

Heres an update for you guys. The last couple days I have been back at work and have managed to get the second carbon cap made. Soo pleased with how they look. Think Im going to mount them in the angled position like in these pictures. What you guys think? I have'nt managed to get the ali...

The stainless might be your problem, stainless is quite a hard steel and you will notice if you hit it, it rings like a bell. I hope with the ali I have got with its slightly thicker wall, about 1.4mm I think, it will make a nice deep sound, aluminium is very soft meaning it should absorb the...

Got another little update for you guys. My stainless tube arrived in the post today, so I cut the 2 small sections I needed. You can see in the pictures they act as a joiner for the carbon tips and the baffles. I can now get them welded to the baffle and weld the baffle to the inlet cap. I...

Yeah but not on my first go, it would of been a lot more money to lay down inititally and more painfull if i screwed up, as i cant make big tubes at work at the moment. I also quite like the carbon/alloy combo.

Right, some updates. Postie did his job this morning and delivered my ali tube. I need to chuck the 2 cans in a lathe to turn the ends down slightly so the carbon caps slip on easily, they will also then sit flush with the cans which will look hot. I keep getting too excited so i sort of...

Yep thats the one I was thinking of earlier where I got my inspiration from :thumbup:

Cheers dude Ill have a look.

Then it was time to lay up the carbon for real on the first end cap. 4 layers gives about 0.8mm wall, which should be plenty. Some tabs where moulded into the cap to aid release. The silicone splash was stretched over and the assembly was vacuum bagged (bit more complicated than that...

Right now for my little ace, I didnt wanna go out and buy a standard pair of outlet spouts, I wanted something a bit special, that would look rather more expensive and a bit more like the akras or scorpians. Luckily for me, where I work I have access to an autoclave, tooling blocks, release...

Hi guys, Im new on here so be nice :Flip: Anyway, I got my FZ in april, restricted for a couple of months until my 2 year 'sentence' was up, now living the full power dream, but still a bit fed up of sounding like a hair dryer, and not wanting to fork out £400 for a nice set of cans I had a...
