*SIGH* I was hoping this was the base and collector for that custom hookah I wanted. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Here are some pics of that custom hookah you wanted Mike (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) : Attached image(s) |

So why up and over the half shafts? Not being critical Chris, just curious. Not knowing any better I'd have thought to mimick the stock914-6 h/e's as they flow so well.
All I know about exhaust is that bigger isn't better, the right size for your engine is better. |

I'm guessing it has to do with the desired length of the un-merged pipes....is that correct Chris? I know exhaust tuning on the 2-strokes was a 'black art' maybe there's some of that to 4-strokes too...

So why up and over the half shafts? Nathan is pretty much on target. I could achieve the primary lengths I want if I stayed below the axles but not the secondary lengths. Tuning both will produce more midrange power. Its still going to be difficult getting the secondaries to the length I desire. None of the other street headers take full advantage of scavenge wave tuning to maximize volumetric efficiency of the engine intake stroke. |

Chris,
I can't do what you do, but I do have an observation.... In this pict..... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-209-1261161797.jpg) It looks like you didn't leave enough room for the oil cooler, and the header is going to really radiate heat back into it. And you also have the scavange line to contend with. It may be the angle of the shot though..... |

It may be the angle of the shot though..... Its just the angle of the shot. There is plenty of clearance to the cooler and the hard line. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
