This pipe works quite well I tried the pipe out today. The bike was fitted with a Power Commander & DNA stage 1 filter, it definitely had much more low down torque then my bike which has two Carbon Cans system. My bike did have allot more mid to top end power. I think to be fair we need to fit the 2into1 with a Stage 2 filter so to compare apples with apples.

I will come back to you with some tests, as we will run it on the Dyno in a few weeks time.

Can anyone tell the difference?

thats the best looking pipes i have seen by carbon cans, normaly the conecting pipe (ringed in picture) sticks out and imho looks a bit wrong...

shame they dont make the like that anymore

The fact is cdo1uk.... they don't make them like that AT ALL, the story behind the 2 pics is that the cans on Kev's bike are the ones which previously were on my bike. Last year Simon of CCC gave me a free set of stubbies to try as a prototype before they went on sale. Simon knew I already had link pipes on mines so he just sent me the end cans without the link pipes.

I then sent my original ovals to Kev as a present, of course without the link pipes. As soon as Kev received them in Brisbane he went on to have a set of link pipes built to measure and the result as you rightly say it's stunning. Also if I remember rightly Kev told me that these were built in a larger bore than the original, giving him a bit more bang for the buck.

AHHH i see... i have seen the link pipes like that before with carbon cans, i love the sound of the CCC pipes just not the look of the link pipes, if they where like that on kevs i would have a set already

and yes.... stunning (coz its blue maybe :-) )

After Fran kindly donated me his old Cans, I got my friend who owns a company called Transzac to make up the link pipes. I told him the way I want them to routed & he did a good job.

He is going to make up my 36mm headers for me in April when I am on leave next. They will be the same size as the 1st stepped pipe on the link pipe. I want the headers to look something like this one that he made for another mate in Brisbane but not a 2 into 1, just smooth bends all the way to the Cans.

Fran have you showed Simon the difference between the link pipes before, he may find it interesting.

The idea of a stepped link pipes is to get the exhaust gasses to start expanding before the reach the can & this produces more Torque & HP. I tried to get the bends to flow smoothly on the link pipes as for every bend you have, it slows the gas speed down.

Kev take a pic for me of the link pipes once removed and I will show them to Simon and see what he says.
