Indeed. Keep us posted on what you end up going with.

Hi Sethrose,
I agree that when you get just the right sound it's one of those modifications that multiplies the riding enjoyment by a factor of 1000 - go for whatever turns you on!! I chose the KSY system from Webike http://japan.webike.net/products/21004612.html as it was inexpensive but had that old school 4cyl racing howl of a Kerker - or what my fading memory thinks anyway!! Now here comes the "but" ... the header pipes were not exactly aligned to the exhaust outlets and it leaked around the header, also the outlet looked a bit aggricultiral. To sort out the issues we made up some aluminium sleeves to improve the seal of the pipe to the standard flange gaskets and turned up an aluminium end cap - pics below. Given the even cheaper chrome pipe you've seen at Webike does state that there will be leakage issues I thought you might want to see how I resolved the problem.

KSY system - I like the 'raw' look of this system, it's got an agressive note without being too loud plus the fuel mapping still seems OK. I run the removable baffle in all the time but with baffle removed it sounds like a race bike.

Aluminium flanges - these insert into the opening of the headers and provide a broader surface for the flange gaskets.

Moral of the story is 'you get what you pay for' and with the benfit of 20:20 hindsight the more expensive Morwaki 4:1 may have been a better option.

Good luck with your project.

I went with the mot werks gp. It fit well def replace gaskets and tape ur frame as to not scratch it. The fact n after r tight. The price tag was cheap compared to what u get. It keeps center stand and o2 sensor.
The cb 1100 has a master piece motor ( imo)and this is what it should sound like. Imo again. I like the bike more now. Ride in lower gear and tend to go into higher rpm before shifting. Pipe seems mellow when cruising but as you addd throttle it comes to life.
Will see how it holds up, ive just recently added it

Good luck with your exhaust search sethrose, there is bound to be something out there that meets your needs. Greg, perhaps just be thankful that Seth is not your neighbor.

Aussieflyer your pictures didnt show up but I am really intrested as for the pipe I was looking at I know the outlet isnt what I want but I have a vance&hines repoped slip on I think would look pretty good it came from cycle x 50 bucks i think looks prety good to it was on my 650 but im gonna do something diffrent with it so ill put it on the new bike I really want a all chrome pipe on it as well so thank kinda narrows my selection but I guess im going to have to look around a bit more I emailed webikes and they said the center stand wont work which is ok ill just take it off but they also said it blocks the oil filter so thats a no for that one ill keep looking thanks guys.

been looking at these anyone care to chime in on what they think of it or what there running im gonna put a fuel controller on the bike as well.

I've never welded anything in my life, but if I made the attempt today, I bet my welds would look something like this header.
I'm a firm believer in "You get what you pay for."

Hate loud pipes, Loud pipes should be for competition only/. Talk about aggravating non motorcyclists. Loud pipes hurt the image and the acceptance of motorcyclists by general public.

I couldn't agree more... loud pipes are extremely aggravating!!!

Then why did you even comment on the thread? It's ok I've already stated your opinion on the exhaust I want on my bike doesn't matter it's my bike my choice I just wanted to see what others used. I'm gonna get a motorsworksgp one and take the baffle out. So ride your quite bike and have fun I'll ride my and have just as much fun different strokes for different folks.

Hey I just ordered the motogpworks system said there was only 2 left so I figured id better get it soon where did you guys get your exhaust gaskets I figured id go to the dealership and order some but if someone knows of another place let me know. I might modify it a little bit to fit that vance and hines slip on Ive got but well see might like the one its got on it thanks a lot for all the input guys ill keep ya posted about how things are going.
