Exhaust Prototype ... Your thoughts

[Phantom]

:icon_cool::yes:

I had a great conversation with a gentleman this afternoon that has vast experience in exhaust manufacturing and has been successful in increasing performance on several motorcycles.

He has produced a prototype set of pipes for the F6B that is made with BLACK Stainless steel and removable baffles that has a richer-throatier sound.

As a courtesy to him, to avoid any commercial spamming ..... I am posting a couple of images to see if there would be interest from our members that are looking for another style. Please give your feedback

Thank You!

[vstar09]

Love the look....would like to hear what they sound like....

[Johncmendenhall]

Those look awesome Phantom.
Please keep us posted on further developments
Warm regards

[Fla_rider]

Wow, those look sharp, I bet they sound great. Think you can get us a sound clip and a pic of them on aF6B?

[Retired Army]

I love the appearance and would be interested if I could bolt a set on a Lehman F6B trike conversion. Thank you for posting.

[Steve 0080]

+1...............

[F6B1911]

Those are the pipes that Honda should have put on the F6B.
I'm interested.

Make sure you bring a set to Franklin.

[Denase]

I like. Any idea on cost?:icon_mrgreen:

[53driver]

...drool...
I think I'm going to start channeling Steve on being an impulse buyer....

[Cool Hand Luke]

I like the looks a lot. I hope they're long enough, past the saddlebags. It would also depend on sound and price for me, but so far I am a potential customer.

[db24]

Are they similar in dimension to the stock, as big around? Agree, need to see them on a bike, but first impression is good.

[choptop]

Although a fan of the quiet, big chrome, hot rod looking stock pipes, those look nice. Just like everyone else, price, sound and looks on bike, but I like them.

[bigbird]

My only question would be.... do they drone?
Otherwise, they look great.

[Rich205]

I love the look and would be interested sure would look good on my bike how much and when can I have them

[Spanky]

yes to all the above, plus :12894

[Limoles]

They are very attractive and looking sharp . Stainless steel produce different sound , which might change bike's "demeanor" for sportier one . Our Bs could bark very well , especially if the baffles can be removed on demand .
Tony - if you have chances to upload its "music" and provide some dyno read out , most of us will be very interested .
Does it required some additional tuning ? What about the heat ? Please ask this guy for specifics . Thanks ...

[Spanky]

Make sure you bring a set to Franklin.

as a silent auction or door prize.....

[Bigmac nj]

Yes they look good..need to hear a sound clip and get a ball park price.

I like the look and style, but I would like the tips to have a carbon fiber option for us that are looking for the blacked out look.:bf8:

Beautiful hardware... I'd be tempted... the rectangular is a better match than our OEM round cans.

[stroguy]

The lines fit the F6B fur sure. Very nice. Would look killer on the matter silver 2015.

[er.medic]

Very interested :clap2:

[MAYHEM01]

they look great.
and I am sure we will get a sound clip as soon as Phantom has it installed on his bike...

[Phantom]

Stainless is a little bit more. The target price point is around $899

Again, this is in it's infancy and I will share the information as it come out :icon_cool::yes:

[Jim]

I'm interested, like to see them on the f6b.

[MAYHEM01]

Thanks Phantom

[bobbyf6b]

I'll be glad to take one for the team and be a product tester! :icon_mrgreen:

...

I wonder what his actual costs are. That may seem like a bundle but fabrication shops aren't exactly cheap.

[cosborn]

Looks great from where i'm sitting, do need to hear them though.

Chris

[naga viper]

Very good looking.
Is there any thoughts of turn-downs or turn-outs?
I would like to hear them"batsmiley"

[2bikemike]

These look great

[firetech]

WOW!!!! Those are friggin beautiful.
I'll take a set when and if available. :shhh: :icon_lol:

[hiflyer]

Never have I even considered pipes other than stock........until now!:icon_cool:

[CarolinaRider]

The lines fit the F6B fur sure. Very nice. Would look killer on the matter silver 2015.

Stroguy, you buy them and I will take the black stock ones off your hands.

:icon_redface::biggthumpup:

[flamed20]

very interested also!! would like to see and hear them first but would definitely purchase a set! "ccsmiley"

[Surfndad]

If they sound and perform as good as they look I would be interested in seeing if he could make a pair for a 2014 Valkyrie.

[F6B1911]

Ok, you first posted this on 04/02, it's about time for a photo with these installed on your F6B?

[WingThing]

I'd say, "goodbye cobra's, hello to these" They look great. Hope they sound as good and look good on the bike. Looking forward to seeing them mounted.

[bigbird]

My concern is unless torq loopz are installed, any aftermarket exhaust will likely drone.
From what I've read, it's the crossover pipe and cats that cause drone.
If these mufflers have no drone, that would be fantastic.

[Spanky]

BTT:

what ever happened to this? has your friend got the interest he needed?

Phantom is working hard to get these all packaged up and ready for Franklin.

[Spanky]

one sample pair for all attendees, right? we can call it market saturation :-)

[wylbur78]

Love the looks... +1

[1surebet]

I see this thread is older but still relevant. These mufflers look great, especially for the F6B shape. If they a a bit smaller than the V&H Monsters, less change of scraping pavement. Stainless is great also, if it is thick enough not to dent easy or crack as some SS pipes can do if hot enough...then again, being new here, there is no vibration I am used to!

I would buy if performance matches looks. The best I've seen.

[srt8-in-largo]

Two weeks is old?

:icon_biggrin:

[Old Ryder]

Two weeks is old?

:icon_biggrin:

Yes it is--------if you are a housefly. :crackup:

[srt8-in-largo]

I plan to be the first person to resurrect a 10 year old thread on the forum :icon_biggrin:

[Jrockr]

They look cool, but I like chrome..

[wroc1]

Can you put a sound bite up?

[MOJO]

Like everyone else, really like the look as it matches the rear end area as its more rectangular where the stock is round...hmm round peg in square hoile, just like the front driving light area. I would also go for the black carbon ends. How much, when available and sound please.

[celewis]

Those look really good and if the price is right I would get those pipes...

[bigbird]

I would want to hear them firsthand.
I was told that the Cobra 6-2-6 pipes had no drone.
When I drove an F6B with them on, I had to turn around and get off after only 5 minutes.
The drone was that bad at 30-40 mph.

[Hardrock]

are these the same pipes that are on Facebook f6b page?

[Hardrock]

These

[Surfndad]

These
I cant read what's on the side of the pipe anyone else?

[BIGLRY]

Found these!

Kind of a nice look to them and I'll bet they ain't cheap. They come in two configurations, Omologated according European regulations and non Omologated.
Now if you are like me and ya don't have a clue as to what omolgated means....Google was my friend and the whole word is Homologated and according to Wikipedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homologation
"In motorsports a vehicle must be homologated by the sanctioning body to race in a given league, such as World Superbikes, International Level Kart Racing or other sportscar racing series.
Where a racing class requires that the vehicles raced be production vehicles only slightly adapted for racing, manufacturers typically produce a limited run of such vehicles for public sale so that they can legitimately race them in the class. These vehicles are commonly called "homologation specials".

I wonder if there might be sound differences between the two models or one has some special stamp of approval by a governing body and the other does not, but a call to Sparks would probably get the correct answer.

Found 10-10-100 to Italy is 1.7 cents per minute. While your on the phone order me a set

[F6B1911]

Any word on whether we can get these installed in Franklin?

[troypennock]

a deal breaker for me

[Greg O]

They look great, have to hear how they sound, he can use my bike as a test bike.

[Phantom]

:banana::banana::banana:

We will have 2 sets of these new exhaust pipes at the rally .......

These Pipes WILL BE MOUNTED on a F6B at the 3rd Annual F6B Rally for attendees to see and test ride a F6B with the pipes mounted.

We will have a ELECTRO BLACK STAINLESS and a POLISHED STAINLESS STEEL for everyone to see.

:biggthumpup:

[hgslayr]

I also like them but as someone else mentioned I would like to see them extend past the rear of the bike a bit and a black cap on the end would top it off. I would be interested as long as it is priced reasonably

[Surfndad]

So what was the out come on these pipes did they ever hit the market?

[Steve 0080]

Yes, there will be a set auctioned off at Franklin...

[Phantom]
