Homemade exhaust baffle comparison part 3
Просмотров 6 тыс.6 лет назад
In this video i test a 4 inch mini baffle, straight pipe, and a homemade baffle to see what sounds better. The bike is a 2008 yamaha v star 1100. The header pipes are stock i just used some 1 3/4 pipe and reduced it down to the 1 3/8 header pipe.
Custom exhaust 4 inch mini baffles part 2
Просмотров 9306 лет назад
This is the after video of my custom pipes with the 4 inch mini baffles installed. I would not recomend wrapping the baffles in anything. The holes are to large and if the packing is not tight it will blow out. Sound might be different without the stainless steel in it but this gives everyone an idea of what they sound like.
2008 v star homemade exhaust part 1
Просмотров 15 тыс.6 лет назад
I did not want to pay 400 dollars for a set of pipes so i made my own. This is very simple to do the only difficult part is making brackets to hold the pipes. Due to keeping the factory header pipes there is not a significant change in performance. as long as you keep some back pressure in the system no jetting is required.

    R8 collets in this style (3 segments) are rarely used anymore.....you can buy ER collets w/R8 collet holder that can clamp much tighter because the 3-sided tools only grab on the leading edge, whereas ER collets can grab on the entire length. Also would NOT have printed in PLA...PETG superior for this use. Wrong material, wrong design

      Jimbo Jones I agree on all counts. I used what I had. I think the thickness and design of an ER collet W/R8 collet holder would not have been feasible to 3d print due to the need for thickness for strength. This is really showing that I had good layer adhesion rather than material strength. It was just a fun project to see if I could do it. I would never use this over an appropriate tool for an actual job.

      The nice part about doing this is that it retained all the factory mounting locations and rubber isolators. I would assume you would have more vibration with a pair of slip ons unless isolated very well. I went this route more from a money perspective since I already had all of the tools needed. I would say slip ons would probably be quieter which may not be a bad thing. ITS LOUD haha.

      the smaller the collet the less force it will be able to take. The collet I made was solid with quite thick walls. I highly recommend trying though!

    Thanks for the video. I have a CBR1000RR that a previous owner removed the stock exhaust and welded a pipe, and it sound obnoxiously loud and childish. I was wondering if I bought a baffle how can I fix it inside a straight pipe?

    • @mrawesome14b
      @mrawesome14b 4 года назад

      most of the cheap baffles you can buy have a hole with a bolt, so all you have to do is drill a hole in the pipe and bolt the baffle in place. That is the easiest way to do it.

    Hi, I am having troubles connecting the homemade pipes with the factory header.... could you explain how did you solve it?

    • @mrawesome14b
      @mrawesome14b 5 лет назад

      Its an odd pipe size but you can buy muffler reducer inserts to put on the homemade pipes until you can U clamp it on the header. It was a pretty hard crush fit. The seal doesn't have to be perfect since there wasn't much back pressure in the homemade pipes. Could also put some header wrap in the joint to help seal it up.

    Sounds much better my friend. I am wanting to do exactly the same thing on my 2000 V Star 1100. I am the second owner and unfortunately the last guy removed the original baffles and he didn't re-sync the carbs! He wondered why the bike ran so horribly. Good for me because he needed to sell it in the wintertime, and I could only offer about 33% of what it's worth. Luckily for me, he accepted. Your bike now sounds amazing Personally, I like the sound alot better with baffles, definitely a much more pleasant tone and contrary to what people think, removing baffles does not increase truly horsepower by more than 2 or 3%. In my experience all it really does it cause issues, which consequently cause the need for rejetting. So I now have my bike running well, and I want to reinstall baffles and have it running and sounding like its engineers intended. I will also experiment with making them myself.

    • @mrawesome14b
      @mrawesome14b 6 лет назад

      I would need a picture to really give you any ideas, but you need a bracket that you can attach the cable sheath to. then you can hook the end up of your cable to the bracket on the carburetors throttle that the governor is also on. If you go directly on the carb the governor will not work. Normally the cable is attached to a bracket connected to the throttle via a spring so that the governor can still shut the throttle when max rpms are achieved under no load

      @mrawesome14b 6 лет назад

      @@jmc4712 this information is subjective and depends on the engine, but on typical lawnmower and small engine application they usually run 3600 rpm and are designed to do so. When you rev the engine higher than that you will reach an rpm probably 4000 or 4500 rpm where the springs cannot stay in contact with the camshaft. there isn't enough spring pressure to pull it shut with the camshaft lobe so they float bouncing on the camshaft lobe preventing the valve from shutting. Since the valve isn't sealing properly it stops the engine from revving any higher than what the spring pressure will allow. In an ohv engine this can cause the valve face to hit the piston.
