Exhaust question

[NewKat]

Hey guys,


I can't afford an aftermarket tuned pipe right now so do you guys have any recommendations to modifying the stock one? I haven't put the shell on yet because I don't want to melt it so does anyone have a solution to improve the stock one for the time being as well as eliminating the "melting of the body" issue? Let me know and thank you guys as usual.

What vehicle do you have?

 

[cordy]

You could wrap the pipe with heat tape available at your auto parts store.

Just puck up a used baja ss pipe . Till you get funds and decide which pipe you want

 

[NewKat]

Sorry guys and thank you. I have an XT. I am sorry I left that detail out. Will an xb pipe work because it comes straight out? Thank you guys for the recommendations so far.

i have a stock xb pipe you can have to try, I don't need it anymore its practically brand new. If you want it pm me your address and I'll send it your way

The XB pipes will belt and or crack. Not worth buying a new one.

Motakitty, I appreciate it. I just may message you if I can't modify mine some way. Thank you again, that's nice of you. RCDAD, is it that way they're made? Do you have any recommendations? Anyone else have an idea or anyone done anything to modify theirs?

The XB pipe is aluminum. It just can't handle the heat. That pretty much applies to any aluminum pipe.

This is typical...

 

[Motakitty]

You can always get the xcan its compact and you can run tubing out the back. Your welcome, feel free to pm me anytime if you want it. People have helped me so Im here to help out too

 

[NewKat]

You are a good dude.

I would say more of most of the china pipes can"t handle the heat with the low quality aluminum that the chinese make. I have had good results from fab pipes in aluminum using 6061 T6 for my flange and 3003 tubing from usa extruders with many years of running .

I would agree!

Hey Sprint, have you ever built a titanium pipe? I know its expensive and harder to work with, but its is awesome.

 

[Sprint 77]

More than likely it would be a combo of titanium with stainless tubing. 3/4 7/8 & 1 inch titanium tube would be hard to find. I carry titanium sheet for my aircraft work now. A have made a high grade stainless 321 pipe . Only full scale stuff in titanium. My aircraft fab work and some

Motorcycle exhaust

I had a full titanium Yoshimura exhaust on my GSXR back in the day. I was amazed how light it was.

 

[NewKat]

Thanks you all. It looks like I will just wait intil I can afford a pipe for it as I don;t want to compromise anything.

Check tbe baja forum for a used Ss pipe and header . Good upgrade on a budget. They go $50 _85 depends on condition and who selling.

I can fix the header and lengthend it where it needs it if you still have it.

 

[rampagemt]

Header got tossed so just the pipe and clamp left
