megawatt Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 My mate on another forum had a crappy Nexxus silencer with a mild steel link pipe;http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s86/gizzard1533/bike%20stuff/P220111_1240.jpgIt had cracks at both ends, covered with zorst repair gunge and sounded crap. I said I had a carbon Micron stubby that woul fit and set about making a stainless link pipe for his 4 into 2 into 1;Had to pay to have a one off 30degree bend in the 57mm o/d 304 stainless pipe;http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r240/megawattblade/IMAG0111.jpgWas gonna make a collector box , but decided to squash the 57mm to 38mm o/d for the 2 into 1;http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r240/megawattblade/IMAG0138.jpgCut the 38mm pipes to length and cut through 90% to fold em to 20degree angle .http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r240/megawattblade/IMAG0125.jpgThe 57mm wasn't wide enough for two 38mm pipes at an angle , so I had to add a bit;http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r240/megawattblade/IMAG0141.jpgand blend it into the squashed link pipe;http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r240/megawattblade/IMAG0144.jpgHad the extra bit tacked on and set link pipe and stubby for fitting to his bike before final welding and polishing;http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r240/megawattblade/IMAG0146.jpgHere it is on the bike;http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s86/gizzard1533/bike%20stuff/P280211_1559-1.jpg Quote

megawatt Posted March 15, 2011 Author Posted March 15, 2011 (edited) Well after a few dramas with welders, I found a guy who did the collector for me while I waited and is prepared to do other stuff when I need them, at short notice. Here is the collector straight from welding;http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r240/megawattblade/P1050671.jpghttp://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r240/megawattblade/P1050672.jpghttp://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r240/megawattblade/P1050673.jpghttp://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r240/megawattblade/P1050674.jpgWill be cutting the slots for the 35mm clamps and polishing the welds tomorrow and Thursday, then I'll be posting it!!! Edited March 18, 2011 by megawatt Quote
megawatt Posted March 17, 2011 Author Posted March 17, 2011 (edited) Right , I cut the clamp slots and fitted stainless bolts and nuts for the clamps. Supplies a pair of stainless springs to hold the Stubby in place. Spent about 2 hours polishing it and it's now ready for postinghttp://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r240/megawattblade/P1050679.jpghttp://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r240/megawattblade/P1050680.jpghttp://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r240/megawattblade/P1050681.jpgWhadya reckon?

megawatt Posted March 17, 2011 Author Posted March 17, 2011 Cheers mate Will post pix of it on bike with Micron carbon stubby can and a video Quote
RicKsTa Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 Great work Mega. Looks great.. has to be said though. WTF did your mate do to his nexxus zorst and link pipe!!?? Thing looks like its made out of tin foil!! Quote
MadWilly Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 [nice job mate ..so when can i come round for mine to be done ..i only want 4 into 2 Quote
megawatt Posted March 17, 2011 Author Posted March 17, 2011 (edited) Up in Derby on April 9th mate, can meet up if ya want. Start a thread with pix and show me what you want. Most things are possible??? Ricksta, yeah, doesn't look good for Nexxus. Personally , I would always go for stainless headers and link pipe. Carbon or stainless silencer. Don't like chromed mild steel, always rusts or falls off!!! You can weld stainless and polish it so that you can't tell it's been welded!!! Edited March 17, 2011 by megawatt Quote
MadWilly Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 Up in Derby on April 9th mate, can meet up if ya want. Start a thread with pix and show me what you want. Most things are possible??? sounds good to me thanks Quote

sparkeh9 Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 The only problem I can see is your link pipe looks too good for the down pipes now , might have to fashion some Quote
RicKsTa Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 Get working and polishing them downpipes up Looks great mega, well done! Quote
