Built my own exhaust...

[Tank]

Here is the exhaust I built for my 1125...would like some input as to sound. I know youtube sound is only okay, but is the best I can do...
Paste this into the youtube search window... Buell 1125R "Tankenstien" Exhaust

[Tank]

Well, there have been some folks looking at the post and the vid... comments, please!?!? Does it sound like something y'all would want on your own bike?

I think that sounds awesome. What did you do?

[PorcelainRabbit]

take it to the dyno, if the numbers are good, make it pretty, slap a logo on it and selllll them! :) nice sound :)

[Tank]

Stevenc150, thanks for hooking them together! I was not sure how to do it, so I sure am glad you were able to do it for me!

[Tank]

Rabbit and 9R, Thanks for the positive feedback! I spent a lot of time working out how to build it, so I am glad others think it sounds good, too!

[toddb3]

I like it! Would love to hear a "drive by"

[Tank]

So would I! I need to recruit my wife to record it for me. As soon as I get one recorded, I'll post it.

[Buell_Cru]

Closest to a Harley sound I've heard on the 1125. Great job. Go dyno and get back with us.[up][up]

[Tank]

Thanks! I am headed to a shop with a Dyno to do a little recon in a few minutes... we will have to wait and see what their schedule looks like I guess...

[LeFox]

bit of a micron-growl to it...:o

[Tank]

Okay, LeFox... please explain "micron-growl". What exactly does that mean in laymans terms???

[hula Buell]

Wow!!! looks and sounds terrific.Great job...

[roadrocker]

Sounds great like to see the dino test when its done.

[shoeshineboy]

Sounds awesome! Did you have to re-map at all? How much would you charge to do them? i am definitely looking to get a better exhaust sound out of mine!

[Tank]

I have not done any mods to anything but exhaust. It is an adaptive strategy DFI system, so the o2 sensors are working to regulate mixture on their own. I am now getting about 37-38 mpg average, so it went up maybe 2mpg+/-. I havent gotten the appointment with the Dynojet yet, hopefully next Monday. We shall see. As for pricing, well I guess with parts and labor and depending on powdercoat... about 600.00 plus shipping. It will not be EPA or DOT approved, so it will have "For Offroad Use Only" stamped on it.
Tank

[shoeshineboy]

Let me know when you're ready to do them. $600 is a pretty fair price considering you don't have to mess with the ECM and re-mapping. Do you run a stock air filter or K&N with that?

[Tank]

I have stock everything save for the pipe. The Dyno will let us know if we need to get a program tweek. I will keep everyone aprised of the development process.
Tank

[cms1172]

I couldn't tell by the photos, is that your design or is it a modified buell can?

[spymac]

Is today dyno Monday?

[Tank]

After the events of Friday a week ago...I am looking for somewhere to trade in the bike and have seriously depreciated the urgency with wich I have been persuing the exhaust thing. I have a second prototype nearly ready and it will be th one on the dyno, if I still have the bike in a week or so. The Dyno shop is slammed with work and cant fit me in for my modified factory can-vs-Tankenstien can this week. Will keep everyone in the loop.

[cms1172]

Tank, would you be willing to give out the schematics for the pipe? Some of us would like to build a nice exhaust for our bikes.

[Tank]

I am not going to be able to get rid of my Buell, so I will resume efforts on the exhaust and hopefully have everything done (Dyno results, fly by sound recording, cost of materials, powdercoating and welding etc...) with a final cost and estimated availability by Christmas. All who are interested, just let me know and I will be planning ahead for al of you. Thanks

[highmileage]

Whatever became of this pipe project?

Inquiring minds want to know... and so do I!

[jcrane82]

Tank can you give us an update?

[redliner172]

There sure are alot of people making their own exhausts these days. That takes alot of talent and probably alot of time so HOPEFULLY we will see something come of this soon.

[cheezits]

that sound is fantastic!! i would love to know what kind of power increase there is. if any. if Tank is still working on this hit me up please.

[Tank]

The pipe is on the bike...going to the Dragon Friday thru Monday...strictly for the sake of science of course...and will let everyone who cares know about the results. If all goes well I will have a shot at the Dyno in a week and then maybe production will resume. Looks like about $550.00 for ceramic powdercoated versions...the #'s will tell the tale. Until next week then...
Tank

[03Firebolt9R]

DAMN Tank...where you been! I havent seen you on here in almost a year. My CR needs a pipe, get these going.

[Tank]

Been hiding under a rock! It seems life just got in the way of everything else...but now I'm back to let you know I can really shake em down...sorry for bursting int song...Look for me on Killboy.com after this weekend...about to slap some freshly repainted skins in the old biatch! She will be all dressed up and looking for some fun. Pearl-metallic blue with red Buell grafics across her mid belly. maybe when I am done installing em in a few...I can post a pic or two.

[Red93stang]

Tank, did you ever get it to the Dyno? I would be interested as well.

[Father of an ERA]

Sounds great Tank. I would like to see pics when you have the finished product. I prefer the naked look on my bike so I don't have the bottom fariwing or chin spoiler. I am also looking forward to the dyno's numbers.
