      I tried a lot of different settings, you gotta keep current low to get the small heat zone & color. Then you set pulse to work with your chosen current.

      Ironhead exhaust speed is so much higher, it would sound insane. At high rpm, this pipe makes a growl you can’t believe a 45 can produce

    Billy you answered a question I had without me having to ask. I want to build a 2 into 1 exhaust for my shovel. When I was racing cars I was always told header tubes had to be the same length to the collectors. Now I know different it’s going to make this exhaust a lot easier. I think I guess I’ll see. Thanks for all the great advice in your videos. You take care and stay safe.

    Are you testing on a dyno with different size/diameter/length pipes and exhaust for +/- in horsepower? On our vintage race bikes we've found it can make up to a 5hp gain or loss.

    • @BillyLaneChoppers
      @BillyLaneChoppers  5 месяцев назад +1

      No. I originally made the one on my 1946 WR because I knew I needed exhaust scavenging to work with the long duration camshafts. The bike is so responsive, fast, & turns very high rpm. So I know that the pipe is working. A dyno would definitely be of help.

  • @Itsme-mx5tl
    @Itsme-mx5tl 5 месяцев назад

    Billy this is badass, does the length of the exhaust make a difference? Short vs long?

    • @BillyLaneChoppers
      @BillyLaneChoppers  5 месяцев назад

      Ideally you want equal length pipes for each cylinder, it’s not easy to do that with a V-twin. Joining both pipes at the collector helps with this problem.

    Hi Billy, I have seen this bike is a couple other posts you have made. I am working on a 1979 super glide converting it into a bobber. I have a good friend that started the conversion with a good friend of his years ago. his friend died in a motorcycle accident, and my friend never touched the bike again. So I bought it from him, and I am finishing it on the condition when it id done he will take it for a ride. I love that olive color, and would love to paint the bike that color. it is so old school! would you be willing to share the color code so I can duplicate the color for my bike? I would really appreciate it. If not I understand.

    So allowing all the trash from the inside of the cut to suck back into the weld doesn’t cause porosity??

    • @BillyLaneChoppers
      @BillyLaneChoppers  5 месяцев назад

      No it does not. Porosity is caused by the presence gases near the weld as it cools. A weld is simply a casting without a mold. We use inert gas to shield the weld from the surrounding air, but the shielding is not complete or absolute. There is always going to be porosity in a weld, we merely try to minimize porosity in an effort to create the strongest bond possible.

  • @needmetal3221
    @needmetal3221 5 месяцев назад

    I know it's only a 45 but don't you want the pipes to be closer to equal length?

    • @BillyLaneChoppers
      @BillyLaneChoppers  5 месяцев назад +3

      It’s preferable. But what’s more important is scavenging intake on one cylinder with exhaust from the other, by sending both pipes to a collector. Ideally, you want equal length pipes. But constant negative pressure at the exhaust valves, because of the collector, is the key to horsepower. This 45, by the way, will smoke a 74” flathead, knucklehead, Panhead, or shovelhead.

    Hopefully this isnt a silly question. Could a fella use a chopsaw to make those pie cuts?

    • @BillyLaneChoppers
      @BillyLaneChoppers  5 месяцев назад +1

      Yes, of course. Might be easier. I don’t have one. I have a cold saw, but it uses cutting fluid, which I then have to remove before I can weld
