Only 2 hours and I already want to rip my new exhaust off!

Matz · April 5th, 2012, 02:36 PM

So yeah bought an exhaust a few days ago and it arrived today, it's just a slip-on so I shoved it on and started the bike. It's sounds cool and loud, very loud! But there's just something about having an after market exhaust on that I don't like. I'm just not the screaming racer type!
I was going to put the stock one back on but decided I should probably just give it another day to see how I feel. The exhaust itself is handmade in Britain by a company called Pipewerx, they have a very good reputation for quality and it shows. A cool feature they have is a baffle that's bolted on at the end, it can be removed with an allen key whenever you want, without having to take the exhaust off. It also weighs about half of what the stock can was.
Anyway I'm not sure what to do with it, if I take it off tomorrow morning I might just sell it if anyone wants it, this oval model retails for £170. But I'll save all that for when I make an advert. Anywayz here are some photos!

The baffle itself is a barrel with an X etched in the back, this slides down middle and is bolted on from the side.

Willing to ship it to the U.S?

Trailerboy531 · April 5th, 2012, 02:53 PM

Hey that's pretty cool looking

loz944 · April 5th, 2012, 04:18 PM

post a vid so we can hear it

RaceBikeRentals · April 5th, 2012, 04:20 PM

Nice photog work!

Malicious Logic · April 6th, 2012, 01:29 AM

Wow, looks really nice. Would love to hear a vid of it.

akima · April 6th, 2012, 04:11 AM

That exhaust looks really well made. Strange you don't like it! Why do you think the exhaust is more for a screaming racer? Is it because it makes the bike look and sound more aggressive and racey and this gives people a false image of you and your riding style?

Matz · April 6th, 2012, 07:48 AM

Yeah I guess so, I don't really know to be honest, I had the same problem with a Motad Venom full system I put on what now is my sisters bike, it sounds amazing but it's just not for me :/

Anyway, I'm gonna finish my butty, head down the road, make a video of it going, remove it and clean it.
I'll be sticking an advert up for it in the classified section when I come back, I've already got some paid actors to give testimonies!

I'd be more than happy to post it to the USA, it would deffinately be unique over there. Although you'd have to pay for the postage costs, shouldn't be too much the thing is really light!

I'll stick the video up in an hour or two, I promise you lucky people will get to see my terrific ACTIN SKILLZ!!!

Malicious Logic · April 6th, 2012, 11:50 AM

can't wait to hear how it sounds.

Matz · April 6th, 2012, 02:46 PM

OMG!!! This video is taking so long to upload! AAARGH!!! It's only 15 minutes of HD!
There's an intro of myself at the beginning, I've always wanted to do a weekly vlog as I think I'm really good at talking absolute crap for 10 minutes at a time!
Might grab a Go-Pro and get it done!

Oh and I took the exhaust off, it's all cleaned up sitting in it's box ready to sell.

Renner · April 6th, 2012, 03:56 PM

Nice pics....god I miss my DSLR..sorry I am leaving

Malicious Logic · April 6th, 2012, 05:15 PM

Long upload.... =/

Matz · April 7th, 2012, 01:27 AM

It's because of where I live, I left it overnight to upload and it's only at 56%! It is definitely speeding up though... EEEK! XD I think my computer went to sleep and so paused it!
Oh and I only just remembered this when I was replying to a PM. I mentioned that it didn't change performance, however I did do a top speed run with the baffle in when I first put it on and I got 107mph, so it is more, but not by much! Of course maybe it was the rain or something making it faster, it is only like 2mph more! lol

Skippii · April 7th, 2012, 01:56 AM

I don't think there's anyone left on the Internet with the attention span to watch a 15 minute video of you describing the exahust. The web generally prefers things like 7 second sound clips.

Louder is not automatically better. Why don't more people seem to understand this? Looks like you've reached that conclusion the expensive way.

It's exactly why I went with the AreaP QuietCore. Deep and throaty without being howling loud.

Nice looking exhaust for the right rider! Best of luck selling it.

akima · April 7th, 2012, 02:56 AM

Maybe you could compress the video more before uploading it? You'd loose quality, but you'd save time. I recommend: http://www.mirovideoconverter.com/

If you use that app, in the drop down menu select: Formats -> MP4 Video

That should give you a compressed video compatible with youtube.

Matz · April 8th, 2012, 04:40 AM

Link to original page on YouTube.

I've had nothing but problems trying to upload this stupid video!
So I leave it to upload overnight then in the morning I find my computer has gone to sleep and paused everything!
So I wake it up and set it to not turn off then I leave for work. I get back at 10pm only to find that it won't play because it's too long! But Youtube clearly says you can upload a video of more than 15mins if you verify your account with your mobile, WHICH I'VE ALREADY DONE!
So as it's only 30seconds too long I decide to cut it down a bit, so I look online for a free video editor just to cut it down, I get AVS as it says it can edit MOV files, IT CAN'T! Must only be the full version that can!
Then I realise that my Canon came with ZoomBrowser EX which has a basic editor in it. So I stick the disc in only to find that it refuses to play, so I then go onto Canons website to download it from there and find that they only supply the Updater software! So I go onto another computer, out the disc in, explore it and move the files over to a flash drive before installing them on my computer.
So I open Zoombrowser and try to load the MOV file, but all it says is unrecognised file before crashing on me!
So I bite the bullet and get that stupid Windows Movie Maker, everything works fine, I get it trimmed and then save it as a WMV HD file.(you can't save as a MOV) So I leave it to upload overnight on youtube and hey presto IT WORKS only it's not in HD and it occasionally flashes pixels so it looks crap! But who the hell cares anyway!

This was supposed to be a bit of fun, buts it's been nothing but a nightmare, anywayz ENJOY! There's proper HD one uploading at the moment that should work, the only reason I'm bothered is that the exhaust looks much better in it!

espacef1fan · April 8th, 2012, 08:53 AM

A pair of those with a brushed finish would look great on a pregen..

Jiggles · April 8th, 2012, 10:09 AM

Windows movie maker is free and is not that bad

Malicious Logic · April 8th, 2012, 11:48 AM

Lol, sucks you had so many problems with it. Nice vid though. The intro was pretty comical to me.

Matz · April 8th, 2012, 02:15 PM

Thanks!

I had the HD version uploading for 9 hours only to be met with an error message AGAIN!
