Area P / Custom Exhaust
We'll Off I go,
I purchased Blue Monkeys Area P 12" can and a 6' section of Stainless 1.75" pipe. I have a extra header that I was making a custom exhaust out of when I scored the deal from blue. Heading to a pipe bender and figure Ill through a couple crow **** welds on the old header and make a custom header that will mount the pipe. In theory it is all easy, only time will tell.. I'll throw out some pics later today.. if all goes well. |

We'll didn’t go as planned, of course.
No one in Chippewa or Eau Claire that I can find has a mandrel bender. I kinked the crap out of my SST pipe trying a regular tubing bender. But, the shop made me a piece out of 1.75" scrap We welded it to the header after the 2 into 1. MMMmmm it sounds nice, little loud Blue wasn’t lying. But I figure now I have my pipe, and I can send it somewhere as a prototype to get a sst one made. Honestly I can’t figure out why Area P didn’t respond to either of my emails asking to simply buy a header, but they didn’t. Until they do, or until I can find another bender, I’m content. Ling |

Sorry to hear it did not go as planned. Maybe you can post a video with sound.

Adam, I can assure you we respond to all e-mails, very quickly, and I respond to most of them personally. If we did not respond, it's because we did not get your e-mail. If you would like to PM your e-mail address, I will investigate.
Only on rare occasions is the head pipe assembly sold by itself. From time to time we may get a blem from production and that may be sold seperately. Or it would be combined with a blem muffler and sold as a complete kit. The system is simply price-pointed fairly as a unit and everything is made in matching pairs. |

Adam, No insult taken in the least. We just take a lot of pride in our customer service and simply want to be sure no e-mails or responses fall through the cracks. Oh, and I searched e-mail records back 12 months. So yes, I would say your e-mails were blocked...

Again, I am willing to purchase a header, but I do not want you to go out of your way to make me one. One that is cracked, or has a dent or large blemish is fine I will manage. I simply got a good deal on this pipe. I was look at Area P to begin with and couldn’t pass it up.
Ohh and Kelly, you might want to close your eyes on my next post. ![]() |

OK, here are a few pictures.
I first cut my header after the two into one and removed the baffle. My intent was to make a fully hidden underbike exhaust. It was simply to loud. So, I purchased Monkey's Area P. My first choice in exhaust anyway. I figured out that after the 2 into 1 a 1.75" pipe fits nicely, and welds up OK. ![]() I welded a washer to a bold. And then the bolt to the pipe to act as a hanger, "yes im a hack" ![]() I added the CF pipe, and MMMmm sexy, ![]() Put the bike back together, ![]() The exhaust pipe is not pretty, it is typical exhaust pipe for now, my 50 bucks worth of SST pipe was trashed because of the bender. I am thinking of exhaust wrap painted black, should look nice enough for now. |

I give a thumbs up to anyone willing to do custom work on their bike to get it to work. Looks like you pulled it off.
![]() The added section looks a bit long, but other than that, good work. Now shim that puppy to take advantage of your less restrictive exhaust. ![]() being green, your bike must be crazy fast now!! ![]() |

You are correct kkim, it is a bit long for three reasons, 1 I want bags and needed the room, 2. I wanted to make sure in clear the swing arm as I seen the pipe was rubbing on the old install and 3. I overcompensated for 1 and 2 ha ha.
Just because you forced me to do it I shimmed my needles, "wait" I added a spacer. "work joke shims are not allowed". Anyway, I made a few .053" that is the thickness of 2.5 - 3 #4's. But I only wanted 1 spacer, so off to the multi-million dollar work Facility.. mmm wish i had it at home. Can’t wait to drive the bike, but it is 2am and I live on a dead end road, by a lake.. Man it echo's Thank you all for the great DIY's it took me 2 hrs to get my bike naked, shim the needles and reassemble. Adam ![]() |

pull the snorkel and with that thickness shim, your bike should pull better from idle all the way to redline.
![]() let us know the results of your mods once you get a chance to ride the bike. if your bike pops or backfires now that you've changed your exhaust, you might consider removing the Kleen system. http://www.ninjette.org/forums/showthread.php?t=9948 |
