Undertail exhaust.... really!??!

DSpinler · March 15th, 2012, 08:02 PM

Anyone else seeing what I'm seeing at http://sportisimotorsport.us/ on the front page?

csmith12 · March 15th, 2012, 08:04 PM

oh hell yea!

choneofakind · March 15th, 2012, 08:07 PM

hmmmm! Sexy!

I wonder, is it full system or mid-pipe back?

need plate holder, LED plate bolts, and for the bottom 2 bolt holes, throw some reflector screws on there

DSpinler · March 15th, 2012, 08:08 PM

Alright, that makes sense. Sorry if the news is old hat but I saw for the first time five minutes ago

Got kinda excited and did a search with no results. But count me as first in line when they come out. (Though I might want to shorten those cans just a lil bit)

austexjg · March 16th, 2012, 09:04 AM

I sold the 250R waiting for the undertail to come out.

blink · March 16th, 2012, 12:00 PM

The twin exhaust is a bit pointless IMO, even on big bikes.

On a car it's rice. No performance gains, just more weight

I will wait until I can install it without getting pulled over, ticketed, possibly have the bike impounded and whatever else. this means a license plate holder with some type of illumination so its legal. It would also be really nice if they would include a license plate frame made out of reflector material to satisfy the reflector requirement but that is easier to deal with.

Do you need them to wipe your ass for you too?

This specific product has been "in development" for YEARS at least they can sell a finished product instead of one that requires not only installation but then fabrication to comply with fairly standard laws - license plate on the rear. The fact that they commented on the need to fabricate additional components to mount the plate means they know it is going to be a problem.

Or you could just get one of the vertical side mounts for the plate and just run the wires for the plate light, wouldn't be difficult at all. No need to fab anything if you know where to look for parts.

I agree, and this is the way I would do it if they release it without and plate relocation hardware. That said, for a fantastic product contributing up to a stellar reputation (Think Sidi, A*, etc) this would go a ways in building that relationship with their customer base.

Me no like.

Kevin2109 · March 17th, 2012, 01:34 PM

Thats sexy!!

mines still sexier

LoD575 · March 17th, 2012, 06:44 PM

I think it looks great. No side jutting exhaust to disrupt the body lines and curves of the bike.
I'm a sucker for undertail systems.

I only like the under-tail ones exhausts if they look part of the bodywork (not a separate tube). I prefer the under-bike exhausts really: nice and discrete!

greg737 · March 19th, 2012, 02:51 PM

The actual increase in bike sexiness that you experience with a new undertail exhaust may vary...

akima · March 19th, 2012, 02:54 PM

And all of these http://acidcow.com/cars/17734-impres...-132-pics.html
owners couldnt afford to repair their bikes.

There is a style and taste involved. Dont cast judgement. If one were judging you, they could easily say you drive a womens scooter.

There are plenty of parts that get sold here in the states that come with the warning "Not for street use" This means it's not D.O.T. approved! Not difficult to understand. Most of those parts will pass inspection. EDIT: If the shop was really picky they'd tell you your exhaust doesnt pass attenuation requirements of 88db. That would be a bigger pain in the rear! literally.

I want to make an undertail exhaust for my cb 350 lol
Old school to new school

I have a pipe bender but I need to pick up some tube

I want to see if they made a different heAder or if they use oem !

I am guessing they couldn't squeez performance out of it= just for style

mustang5.0 · March 20th, 2012, 02:34 PM

looks dope but will it fit with a 2" drop kit

Cazper · March 20th, 2012, 02:44 PM

I was going to say that there is a simple answer to the plate relocator... but then you said they look "silly"....

To each their own... I love the way it helps keep my undertail clean and unobstructed

doubtful.

Sportisi picture says it won't work with a hugger... It would likely work with the hugger if the tail was raised an inch or two though

choneofakind · March 20th, 2012, 03:16 PM

I think the issue would be both. When people drop their rear too far, they touch the oem undertail with their back wheel (right where the pipe would be).

Not to mention that oem, those cans look like they would be juuuuuust about touching the back wheel if the suspension were fully compressed. Drop the bike at all in the rear, I bet you'd get tire touching the cans before you'd get tire touching the pipes in the undertail. Not sure. Both would be an issue though

burningscooter · March 20th, 2012, 03:16 PM

thats a true waste of money. lol

but thats just my opinion.

choneofakind · March 20th, 2012, 03:26 PM

Also, you bolded the wrong section...

Quote:

5201. License plates shall at all times be securely fastened to the vehicle for which they are issued so as to prevent the plates from swinging, shall be mounted in a position so as to be clearly visible, and so that the characters are upright and display from left to right,

it's more likely that it being vertical would get attention not the fact that it's 10 1/2" vice 12" off the ground.

and with all that being said... I can appreciate the fact that you don't like it... I personally don't care for the undertail exhaust that was originally posted... nor do I care for undertail exhaust in general... the nice thing about having different opinions is that our bikes don't all end up looking exactly the same after we modify them

Cazper · March 20th, 2012, 05:42 PM

@trixter, I guess I skipped over seeing the first bolded statement... I swore I only saw the height section bolded...

I also heard about the power plant ordeal... but didn't pay it much mind

people keep saying this. is ducati too poor to put fairings on the 1198 streetfighter? i hate to come off as an offended prat but when people say that a "street-fighter" is simply a crashed bike or poorly repaired bike.... i mean thats like calling a chopper a crashed bike that someone was too poor to repair properly... is that why there are brand new custom choppers that sell for over a hundred grand? it makes you sound like a stuck-up harley guy who thinks "those crappy japanese crotch rockets are just gonna break down... cause they're cheap pieces of plastic... and not amurikan made" the difference is, you own a plasticy bike and think those bikes without a bunch of plastic are cheap pieces of crap or poorly repaired. in fact, a lot of people would think the ninja 250 is pretty stupid for having fairings when it barely gets to 100mph. why does it have them? style. it's what certain people want. a naked bike is what certain other people want. quit hating.

Hey Josh. These guys are really good. http://www.spdexhaust.com/. I have used them for custom work and I highly recommend them for any specialty sections you may end up needing. Their catalog is pretty extensive and their parts are always accurate. Contact them for any questions related to exhaust fabrication you may have. Good luck in your fabrication.
