View Full Version : AreaP Exhaust

Hey.

I've been told that AreaP do make a flat end piece (thanks Kkim) and I was wondering the following things;

1. Is it an optional thing (where I get to pick between the standard one and the flat piece) or do I have to buy it separately (if so, how much would it cost)?

2. Does the flat end piece affect the exhaust at all? (ie. Sound, performance etc)

3. No offense, but is it possible to paint the can black (black satin powder coat - same as the hanger) as I do not like the look of CF (all CF products).

4. Also the lengths of the cans, I can see that there is a 12" and a 18" one but I was told that there was 3 lengths, I would assume that it would be 15".
The question is that what are the differences between the lengths of the cans except for the 'loudness' factor?

5. Last but not least, is it possible to throw in a free t-shirt?:redface:

Thanks :yo:

here's a pic of the flat endpiece off their website. As I understand it, you specify which cap you want when you order and it's delivered with it at no extra charge. I like the look of that one, too.

Other than the lengths of the cans and loudness, weight would also be a little bit different.

Here is a convo I had a while back via e-mail with Kerry that might help answer some of your questions...

I am interested in purchasing the quiet core for the '08 Ninja 250, but I am having difficulty deciding between the 15" and the 18". I listened to the sound clip for the 12", but was unable to find one for either of the quiet core models. Do you have any other clips, or more info on the decibel ratings on the 15" compared to the stock can? Also, is the dyno data similar for the 15" and 18" compared to the 12"?
Thanks!

Thank you for the inquiry. Please find a sound clip attached of the 18" quiet core muffler.
We only have sound clips for the 18" quiet core muffler and 12" standard muffler. The dyno chart between these two options are almost identical. But the 18" is significantly quieter. We recommend staying with the 18" muffler length when using the quiet core option.

That flat endpiece looks so much better. If i were going to buy exhaust it would be yoshi because of the looks, but now when i see that flat endpiece on the areap, theyre pretty much equal in looks in my opinion.

I'll be happy to answer your questions. Highlighted in "Blue" Thank you for asking them.

Hey.

I've been told that AreaP do make a flat end piece (thanks Kkim) and I was wondering the following things;

1. Is it an optional thing (where I get to pick between the standard one and the flat piece) or do I have to buy it separately (if so, how much would it cost)? Yes, it's an option, but at no extra charge. You simply request it at the time you place the order and we install it.

2. Does the flat end piece affect the exhaust at all? (ie. Sound, performance etc) Performance is the same. It can be perceived as slightly louder because it does not have the "diffuser" tip (standard exit tip) which is pointing down slightly. It can also get slightly discolored over time for the same reason (a slight reversion affect), but is very easy to clean up like new with a normal red or green scotchbrite pad.

3. No offense, but is it possible to paint the can black (black satin powder coat - same as the hanger) as I do not like the look of CF (all CF products). If you mean can you paint the stainless steel muffler; sure.

4. Also the lengths of the cans, I can see that there is a 12" and a 18" one but I was told that there was 3 lengths, I would assume that it would be 15".
The question is that what are the differences between the lengths of the cans except for the 'loudness' factor? Aesthetics and weight, in addition to sound. Powerband is very slightly changed as well. Not overall power, just where it begins and ends. Actually, in carbon fiber, you can choose anything from 9.0" to 18.0". In stainless steel, you can choose 9", 12", 14" or 18"

5. Last but not least, is it possible to throw in a free t-shirt?:redface: No, but thank you for asking. I would be happy to include one in the box for $15. ;)

Thanks :yo:

If you look at their website, I believe they do have an exhaust out for the new bike, though I don't know if it's a fully or slip on.

We've had the '09 ZX6 Slip-On choices (both "muffler" & megaphone styles) available for several months. Quite honestly, we've had them in stock and ready even before the bikes were delivered to the dealers! :D

Oooh, I like that endcap.
Now I have to ask, because I read all about it, but it seems like everyone here who as an Area P has the Quiet Core, is it really that that much of a difference compared to the standard one? I know that people have said that the HR1 and a few other exhausts are just unbearably loud, but is the standard Area P one of those? I'd eventually like to get this exhaust and I like the look of the shorter exhaust (and the fact that it's a little cheaper) but if it's too loud I wouldn't go for it. What are people's opinions on the two versions? especially those of you who can compare them...

Kurosaki
February 22nd, 2009, 05:02 PM
Yes, the difference is quite significant between the quiet core and standard.

The standard AreaP is rather loud. The quiet core can produce alot of volume too and you will be heard but that's more when you're strong on the throttle in higher RPM. Partial throttle and just cruising, it's not very loud at all. The standard seems to be loud practically all of the time no matter what you do.



If you want some good volume but don't want to hear that ALL of the time, the quiet core is for you.

Those are my thoughts after riding with other 250s that have the standard can on both the street and at the track.

kazam58
February 22nd, 2009, 05:45 PM
Thanks Kuro, that's basically exactly what I wanted to know ;)

listen to the sound clips and decide for yourself
I have, it's just difficult to judge what the sound difference is with computer speakers. Especially since it seems that any sound clip of an exhaust gets rather distorted when you get into the upper half of the rpm range. Or maybe that's just me...

CRXTrek
February 22nd, 2009, 06:05 PM
Yeah, I thought an HR-1 sounded Ok from the YouTube clip :o

Having to do it over i'd go by the opinions of those who have actually heard them :thumbup:

Blue Monkey
February 22nd, 2009, 08:37 PM
At first I thought the standard muffler sounded great but after riding for a few weeks it started to wear on me. I wore ear plugs and it helped but was still a little too loud for me. I love the sound but i wanted to turn down the volume some so I decided to buy the quiet core and I love it. It still has a good sound but it is not so over bearing, especially on long rides. I say this and then hope someone will buy my 12 area p muffler. Lots of people like them but just too loud for me or I'm just too old. I wear ear plugs still.

Army Aviator
February 22nd, 2009, 08:53 PM
I wear earplugs whenever I ride no matter what because I have because I have to worry about hearing tests. I had the 18" quiet core but I wanted the shorter muffler and more volume, so now I've swapped with another owner for the 12" version. I'll give more input on how I feel about the swap when my bike comes back together, but right now I'm doing damn near all of the DIY's at the same time so the bike looks like this.

This is the custom Pipe they made for me with the quiet core internals and the flat end cap. I think I was the first 250 to run this end cap. I saw it on another bike on the Area P web site and just asked if I could run it on my 250, and they said "sure, why not." Area P kicks ass. Customer for life.

I just noticed my end cap is different then the one in the first pic?

Parker; you're exhaust doesn't look like the 18" QC (correct me if I'm wrong).

If you don't mind me asking, how long is your exhaust and how much extra (if you did) did you have to pay for the QC option and the flat end piece?

Cheers.

The 18" was too long, so I asked them to make mine 15". I kind of started a trend with the 15" flat cap pipe they made me. I posted it up on kawiforums with a spun clip, and I got a lot of propel complimenting the look and sound. If I had to do it all over again, I would have done the same thing.

The end caps can be interchanged, but it requires you to return it to us. The core requires an adaptor modification to accept the different end cap. It runs about $50 for the service (that includes the new end cap assembly). While the core is being modified for the new end cap, we disassemble the entire muffler, inspect, repack and rebond, and replace the hardware at no extra charge.

It is a matter of personal opinion.

He probably does have an AreaP system, but I do know he attempted to buy the 'Private label MFG' one.

He might have, he might not have -- but the thread I linked does show that he had already paid $3xx for the 'Private label MFG' exhaust.

I have nothing against this person, nor the 'Private Label MFG' pipe -- but I am against people claiming something is something else.

Here's a question somewhat on topic that I thought you guys or the Area P owner could answer- Does Area P make slip on exhausts for the 250? I didn't see any on their site but maybe someone had the inside scoop on whether they are coming soon or can be special ordered. thx

I had the 12 and it was way too loud even with ear plugs. I bought the 18 and I first thought it was too quiet but over time it seems to have gotten louder and I think it is plenty loud now and I always wear ear plugs. IMO the 15 looks the best but it still might be too loud for my liking. I also like the other look better than the flat cap.

I'm thinking about a 15" quiet core. But I want to have an agressive sound on the back burner ya know! I like long rides though and I don't want anything that'll make me want to stop and take a break if you know what I mean.
I also prefer the protruding end piece. Looks more old school racey to me.

I had the 18" and it was way too quiet for me so I traded for the 12" and couldn't be happier. I always wear earplugs when I ride anyway, no matter what exhaust I have, because I need to pass hearing tests to keep my job. Far as looks go, I think the 12" exhaust is the winner and I don't like the flat cap look on any Area-P.

I personally like the 2 piece discontinued one better(isnt that that way it always works:rolleyes:) I'm sure there was some reason with going with this design but IMO I like the other one better. What is everyone elses belief...maybe we can convince him to change back ;) I wonder if there's a way to convince kerry to make a one off of the old ones...hmmm

My pleasure. No, we won't be going back to that original two piece design on our sportbike line. It was too heavy and much more complex to build/machine. We still utilize the design on some of our ATV/Offroad systems, where the two piece design houses a removable spark arrestor. The one piece is superior in all other ways, but if you "really" want one of the originals, I can probably come up with one for you.

I agree with Matt about the two piece end cap looking better (shown on black zx10). If I knew it was possible to get an 18" quiet core with that old style end cap I would order one...tomorrow. ;) Otherwise I would prefer the bent spout.

I wonder are there other significant differences between the two flat end caps besides weight and complexity?

I believe we have two or three sets left of the old style 2-piece style. We did actually just make a system for a customer with that style (along with a very short 9" carbon fiber muffler). But as indicated, after they are gone, that is all she wrote.

And no, there are no differences other than stated of weight and complexity.

Can't you buy an exhaust from "Race bike rentals" (sp?)

Yep. Only the standard 12" can and in carbon fiber, I believe.

No plans to ever offer one. When we were doing our R&D on the full system, we did prototype a Slip-On and tested it extensively. It made slightly less than 1 hp, with a Dynojet Kit. It simply made no sense at all to manufacture it.

June 12th, 2009, 02:03 PM
I understand that. Right now money is tight and i want something nice fairly cheap and quick, the full system i believe is about $500?

That was the only reason, i want some sound to begin with, but will get FULL exhaust over the summer.

modify your stock can or find a used slip on. :)

Thanks for that K.

I've been reading and researching and looked all over ebay, i found a couple deals but really add $200 more and i can get an AreaP Full.

So i guess its a matter of what comes first. and if i have cash in my hand, which when i do is usually bad, because they run away from me :D

Kerry, could we get a Db reading for a 15" quiet core by chance?

i just listened to the 18" vs stock exhaust that Kim posted http://www.ninjette.org/forums/showthread.php?t=22790 and i really like the sound. however i prefer the looks of the 15" flat end, specially the old 2 piece ends are all gone :hurt: damn u M-Oorb! rofl...

thanks guys for this thread, and kkm for linking me here, since now im definitely set on getting an AP.

No sound readings available on the special order configurations. But I would calculate it to be about 2 dbA or so louder than the 18" long quiet core muffler with turn down exit tip.

The quality of Area-P's products and the raw amount of hours that go into create the 'perfect' system is awe-inspiring.

If you can find me a company that has the expertise, R&D, and true care about squeezing every bit of horsepower of the the Ninja 250r, I will be impressed.

My Area-P exhaust is a work of art in its execution and the pinnacle of design. Each section of tubing has been bent and mated to larger and smaller diameter tubing to achieve the perfect "pulse" for exiting exhaust gasses.

This means creating a system so that exhaust gas velocities are 'right on' to maximize horsepower...harmonics play a big role.

You cannot simply get a larger diameter tubing, bend it to fit, add brackets and call it a day. I think that Area-P's technology gets lost in the arguments because many riders judge a system by appearance and published data (which may have credibilty issues if coming from companies other than Area-P).

Bottom line, Area-P's exhaust will make your bike happy.
