Nice set of single and dual pipes: HERE

The single has a nice look & sound.

Lot's of cool exhausts on their Facebook page: [url=https://www.facebook.com/QdExhaustSwitzerland]HERE

Looks nice. What is the US cost?

 

[ClassicVW_imp]

Rebel, the conversion is very close to 1 to 1. The 789 Swiss Francs is probably about 780 USD

 

[Rebel73_imp]

Ah, so for dual pipes I'm looking at about twice that? Yikes. Lol.

Looks like this...

At ten times his price...

Sounds and looks like my Emgo shorties at like 20x the price I paid like $65 for mine.

I do think the QD sounds better than the Emgo, but my problem is, no exhaust has really "grabbed me". I've listened to I think everything that's available out there. I'm thinking that an inline 4 just isn't going to sound like I'm wanting it to sound. Unless they sound a lot better in person than on a sound clip....?

 

[mgoodie_imp]

My video sounds almost exactly like the bike in person. It's quite "gargly" if you know what I mean. But it's in my garage so sounds is bouncing around a bit

Did the EMGO bolt right up or did you fabricate a connector pipe, and what inlet diameter did you select?

 

[mgoodie_imp]

Bolted right up it. It sticks out to the side a bit more than stock but for a cheap pipe that looks good and sounds good it perfect and for the price if you don't like it, it doesn't break the bank

This was the link to it on Amazon. I have a thread on this site you can read about it

Really? I have been considering one, but based upon the comments of another member, that used one, it required an angle pipe. They used a leftover piece from a Yamaha kit they already had.

Can you post some photos, that show us the angle? The video doesn't capture it too well.

Dont look at all the dirt its been wet here and I just had to get the bike out.


The first photo is of the bracket that is mounted to a bolt that holds the brake line to the frame.

Cool. Thanks. I have been looking through the various SuperTrapp offerings, as well, looking for something short, that might stay more underneath the bike. The EMGO you are using is 17" long, right? There is one of the SuperTrapp units that is only 12" long, so it would be pretty well tucked under. But, they are not cheap, so I hesitate to play R&D.

I will try to remember to get on this evening when I get home.

Someone posted a video of the bike running with no muffler; just the headers and collector with the cat. Sounded pretty subdued.

So with the Cat installed, after market cans are not going to sound like Kerkers or Jardines of days old.

My take on the video: as the camera pulled away, at first it looked like the tank was the same color as the '82 GS1100E, that weird gold/silver color Suzuki used. I'm thinking; dang, that color looks great on the CB!!
