Looks very clean so far, very professional looking work!!!
I will be very interested to hear the final product as well as like to know if the carbon fiber end caps effect the sound at all. When I made my exhaust---this--->http://www.600riders.com/forum/fz6-mods/40828-machine-gun-exhaust.html
I had 3 main goals in mind, cost, being loud as hell, but mainly looking good. I achieved all 3 but I'm still not very happy with the sound. When riding the bike it sounds like heaven, but hearing someone else ride it has a high pitch "tinny" note over powering the deep rumble that I like. I've cut it open 3 times now changing baffles and re doing DB killers to try and eliminate that "tinny" note but it's still there. I wonder if adding some end caps would help? I think what's going on is the sound reverberating off that fairly thin stainless outlet that is causing the sound?
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 high frequencies better and give a bit of bass. This is all theory though, Ill be sure to post a vid when its all done.
