help......me.......please!

[neilbaldry]

ok so there are a few threads on here now, and in the past im sure. but i have a bit of a predicament. i have an S2R, and 1000 quids at my disposal. im after an exhaust, but am like a stunned rabbit to the headlights of choice and variety of exhausts out there.

the reason this thread is a little different to the others, is that i am going to give the following information, in the hope some of you folks out there can help me desipher what exhaust would be best, or just to narrow the field a bit.

right, this is the following information perviously mentioned

i have around (as in maybe a bit more) £1000 to spend
i am not a knee down sorta rider, tho am getting better all the time
and because of the above fact. im not a trackday fiend.
i prefer twin stacked pipes over the hi-level (one either side of the seat) cans
i dont mind if they are carbon fibre, titanium, or aluminium. tho if i had a choice of the three, it would be carbon fibre.

many thanks my fellow monsterkateers!

McMonstro's cans this weekend were stunning, he put termi stickers on them but I think they were Sparky or somethink? Very neat and tidy, huge bore and Carbon too.

Ask him for details.

McMonstro's cans this weekend were stunning

And as Logyk pointed out, you could fit a ferret down the end of them, if you so wished....

Have to agree - they are very nice.

[eonan]

PD...where are your pipes from? They look superb! Are they custom built?

[Paranoid Dave]

Indeed they are, one off's :D

[benson]

Kylie's pipes are the loveliest...But McMonstro's are pretty darn stunning - and with the offer of a free ferret carrier what can you say???

[neilbaldry]

ok ive sorta narrowed it down to 3 at the mo (providing someone dont show me more top looking cans!)

either the stacked termi's
or maybe arrow stacked cans?
or follow this link to see the other:

[benson]

The zards are rather nifty looking I think - Arrow have a phenomenal sound though which I've heard - why not head to the open day at Parky's and see/hear what's around there??? Always useful to hear the things before you part with cash!!!

[neilbaldry]

yeah ive heard from across the pond from american monster owners, that the Arrows sound totally sexual! the Zards look trick as buggery, but i have no idea what they cost here, or what they sound like!

tho i have also seen this offering from Akrapovic:

http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b208/neilbaldry/bikes/bikephoto2_hi-res.jpg

do you think that with 1000 quids (or maybe more) i could get a 748/996 conversion done? you know, just underseat cans?

[benson]

Hmmm not sure about that one personally - the stacked exhausts look good in my opinion and if I had them I'd want to keep them as separate...Emily's Driver is after the Zards for his S4r testastretta - there's a downloadable clip somehwere I think on the forum of the sound!!!

meanwhile I'd go Arrow - tres tres loud...and that makes them safer!!!

[Rogerg]

don't forget to remove the cat aswell - an awful lot of noise gets lost in there.

Elmos £25 Beetle fantastics should have made your ears bleed

[Banshee]

Now then.. i can get ya the dogs b*ll*cks cans that had everyone talkin at the weekender, even winning prizes. And all for £250.00:rolleyes:

Ask anyone on here about Elmos cans.

P.S. Cash only, at a car park of your choice.

[neilbaldry]

lol Banshee, i am intrigued!

tho a 748 tail conversion has really got my imagination

[Banshee]

Look at weekender prize givin. Elmo go 2 second places for the cans on his S2R and only beaten by some bloke who just threw together some bike with an extra wheel.

[neilbaldry]

cant find any prize giving stuffs. but i need to know now!!

but while you are all here! i shall treat you to a piccy of mine bike!

[Paranoid Dave]

oooh so many chances to modify :D

[benson]

You need belt covers and an open clutch too you know!!!! And how do you keep those wheels so clean???

[neilbaldry]

aha! one step ahead of you benson! ive already emailed veloce (my local duke dealer) for prices of timing belt cover, chain guards and front sprocket cover in delicious carbon fibre!

and how do i keep my wheels so spangley?! i have a trusty squirty bottle of GUNK, and i wipe it off with kitchen roll. thats all! - oh and i never leave it more than 1 day after riding, to clean it aswel! go me! whoop whoop!

heres the other photo i took today of it, from the other side!

http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b208/neilbaldry/MyS2R06.jpg

[benson]

I am very proud to know such a fellow spend a holic!!! Wel done mate and hope to see you Saturday!!!!! Gunky wheels R Us!

[benson]

carbon clutch cover????? Awwww go on go on go on go on go on as they say in Father Ted!

[neilbaldry]

oh hell yeah! spendaholic! and hopefully this week, my 748 carbon front mudguard will arrive! bought it from ducati manchester, 100 quids.

oh damn my love of all things carbon and exotic!

and in that pic you can see that ickle bit of unbedded rear tyre! i hope to have that gone by the end of the summer!

[benson]

oooohhhh yesssssss!!! I am indeed pleased to know someone so fickle and spend thrify as me!!! Why die in credit anyway???

[neilbaldry]

exactly! why do you think god created finance!!? and credit cards!? and overdrafts!? lol

anyways, this thread went a bit off topic didnt it!? lol

yeah, exhausts...... anyone know the prices of any of them? like the Arrow's??

[neilbaldry]

benson, will the carbon monster clutch cover fit my S2R?? or is it just for the double swing arm models?! cos ducati manchester has the split racing cover and the full covers for under 55 quids! damn! you shouldntve told me about them!!

[benson]

Best to check with them direct I reckon - I'm totally crap at knowing what fits (monsters!!!) and what doesn't! Spareshack would also know...They have a LOT of things to buy and there are a lot believe me!!!

[slob]

carbon clutch cover????? Awwww go on go on go on go on go on as they say in Father Ted!
...not gonna happen on an 800 Rachel

[neilbaldry]

at least its one thing i dont have to buy!

[neilbaldry]

just found my dream exhaust, buts is custom made by the shop in america! boo hoo!

http://www.arcfabrication.com/s4runderseat.html

thats a link to the dayum sexeh exhaust!

[markus]

Yeah i've found those before - they only custom make them to your bike tho and don't make the underseat ones so they can be bought and shipped - they will send the stacked side cans tho - bugger!

[neilbaldry]

maybe osmething could be done over this side of the pond, with an angle grinder (lol), and some SIL cans? it must be possible?!

[Dave G]

Take the red pill...

Brings back Neils thread from the dead to say......

Those pipes look like they would break double glazing at 20 paces :eek:

more info req on that setup. My S4rs soooo needs pipes, and headers to remove the DP udder.

Rob

[McMONSTRO]

Hi Roberto, Yes they do! The cans are made by SPARK, Italian of course, good quality and cheap too, sound like satan made them and yes they do set off car alarms! Nicknamed the "rodent catchers" by my mates and riding behind me is comparable to "being hit on the chest with a cricket bat" according to those who follow me! Can't vouch for this myself as I've only ever heard them while I've been on the bike!
I got them off e-bay (allways worth a look, especiallly the international sellers) from Desmoshop in France, however, I can't find them in a search on google now but I have found:

http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/tr?doit=done&url=http://www.desmorados.com/shop/catalog/&lp=de_en

Which is the same site I think only in Germany! They don't seem to have much
listed for the S4RS at the mo but I'm sure a call or e-mail will help!
I think your bike has a sensor in the cat, unlike the S4R, which doesn't, and probably has bigger bore pipes and of course a different engine!
As far as systems for the S4RS that I know of, Logyk has a full termi system on his, V-nice! Emily's driver was trying to get a "Zard" system, but I think he may have gone for the termi's too, the only other S4RS owner I know of is Sidrat, who had stock kit on!
Stu at Spareshack is on the ball as far as whats avaliable so you could give him a call.

Hope this helps!

McMonstro (Head rodentcatcher)

[Bunny]

Stuart at Spareshack sells them. Discount for UKMOC members too

:mand: :mand: :mand:

[McMONSTRO]

Bunny, that's the full system isn't it? Mines the slip on cans with a cat eliminator pipe fitted. does yours sound like hell too?

McMonstro

[Bunny]

Sorry can't hear you !!!!!

Well, Sue has a Buell with a race pipe, and she can't hear her bike running if I'm following her.

I put the baffles back in for the Hampster run last weekend (thoughtful me), and it's still louder than Termis.:mand:

[Roberto]

Thanks for taking time out to reply guys appreciated, think I'll spareshack a call :)

one quick question if u dont mind, what the cans made off? look stainless?

cheers

Rob

[McMONSTRO]

Mine are stainless and carbon!

McMonstro

[neilbaldry]

bravo Rob for reviving the thread! always good to see a bit of bike porn Bunny and MCMONSTRO!!

i like the low sparks exhausts, like on MCMONSTRO's. tho i also like the megaphone Sils. s its gonna be a tossup between them two! might email spareshack to see what i can get the carbon megaphone system for, and see how cheap i can get the sparks system for! - wheres the best place to look for a sparks system?

[McMONSTRO]

Look at the link in my post, click on A, thats german for "Auspuff", then you will see a section headlined Exhausts, and hey presto all will be revealed!
Or as you say, Stu at Spareshack!

McMonstro

[Roberto]

Think it maybe these sparks for me in TI..... going to email them see when there available.

theres a video on dyno for an idea of sound and imho they sound LUSH!!!! not sure what bike there on, cant make out the wheel pattern. (right click save target 8meg)

I was 99% sure I wanted stacked pipes but think they have changed my mind the look is very clean I like it........

please have those puppys built instock now!!..

header pipes / udder removal are in the making too :)

:)

[neilbaldry]

hmm! i was on the DML site the other day, and some swiss bird had pictures of her S2R with cans that looked exactly the same (they looked pretty good, but the back half of the bike looked like a speed triple).

i'd say from the vid, its the same bike as in the photos.

is it wrong that the sounds of ducatis float my boat?! hell no! it aint wrong!

[Roberto]

nope nowt wrong with that.... its an earth moving.. gut flipping.. smile forceing sound....

LOVE IT!!!!!!!

:)

[neilbaldry]

oh and the noise from that vid........... i think i felt a bit of trouser movement!

[neilbaldry]

oh Rob, heres my S2R as is stands now.......

Neil mate if it makes you feel any more normal my duc lives in my conservortory so i can see it from my sofa, i watch it more than the bloody TV - yours floats your boat, but mine flicks my switch.

Grass needs cutting :mand:

[Roberto]

Neil if your around I really would remove that first pic. or rub ooot tha lettering on ya plate....

just says hello im a lovely bike u know where i am come pinch me...

sorry for the rant just know a m8 who put his bike on ebay with the plate showing 2days l8tr some scum twocked it could be coincidence but I doubt it.

If theres a mod around delete his first piccy plz :)

Rob /steps off high horse :P

[neilbaldry]

lol Rob, your worry is very touching! lol but fear not, for i (and you werent to know this as i didnt tell you!) live within the confines of RAF Marham. if anyone want to nick my bike, they have to get past many armed guards, and the 3000 odd people who work here....... and then you'll have me to get past!

[Roberto]

canny fitted security that bud, u get insurance discount for that? hehe

[neilbaldry]

actually, i dont think i do! which is a bugger, cos you cant get much better than armed guards!
