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 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...6546846454.jpg |
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. http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa202/kevxtx/2-3.jpg 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.
