Hi

Everyone got the little beauty running first time now i need to get a proper exhaust for it the one is was looking at was the one from tiger cars off the shelf and not only that but they did the one for z-cars..

anybody bought one of these

for ZX9-C


Thanks Chris B

I heard one running with cat on a GSXR1000 B6 and it was awefully loud, I think it topped out at 106db at SVA. Still, it looked very good and if you want to show off, I guess it's the one to have, the sound is spectacular.
I'm sticking to the original damper that came with the engine and should be -according to the writing on the back of the damper- 80db.

groeten,
lococost.

I bought the manifold and collector from them to go on my MK. It wasn't straight forward as it exited the car differently than the tiger and the triangulation fouled the manifold. You can read about my fun and games on my website. It took a lot of messing around to get it right, but apart from getting one made (very expensive) i think is the best option. You could always try the ST one i suppose, although i don't like the look of it personally.

lococost, dont forget that unless you run the airbox too, you won't get anywhere near the 80db stated on your silencer due to the induction noise. Even if you do use an airbox tho, I'd say you'll be lucky to hit those sort of figures. A BEC with a standard R1 baffled can is around the 98-100db mark at 8krpm, albeit without airbox (which would probably drop it another 3-6db max)

Chris

I know 80db probably wouldn't be possible, can't imagine it beiing that quiet, But should be a lot better than a standard straight trough damper. I know there are a lot of guys using the original damper due to the noise so there should be some truth in it.

As for the airbox, I will try to keep the air filter below the bonnet using pipes, like super7cars does and if that works maybe even try to make my own airbox.

I will have to make an issue out of this because it will need to pass Belgian MOT of 90db max.... Can probably fiddle with the exup valve as well to get the noise down.

I bough the ST one and then built the engine mounts to suit so it was easy...

Does that mean that you have canted your engine over more or less than perfect to avoid chassis members etc with the downpipes?

Wouldnt that play havock with the engine oil if it isnt sat at the angle it was supposed to sit at in the bike?

Been to look at the tiger exhaust at the weekend ok but not over impressed think i will have a look at the stuart talylor then make my descision .

Thanks Chris B

what did you not like about the tiger exhaust??

emm

Nothing in particular just want to see what else is available the build was ok all tubes seemed to be the same length .

and i also dont like paying the vat man cash is much better

might have stumbled on a local man who can build the same thing will keep everybody posted .

Thanks Chris B

Don't forget that MK do a nice stainless exhaust and they're just up the road from you!

Ben

not for a zx9 they don't

Try Tube Engineers Ltd. in Market Rasen.
www.tubebending.co.uk

They have experience of making exhaust systems for bike engined Indys.

Sorry to be off topic, but Chris7 can you PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE write sentances! It makes it so much easier to read and it just pisses me off. No offence intended.

None taken!

yip Tube Engineers Ltd. in Market Rasen have just made me an exhaust for my indy R1,am happy with the end result
photo in archive ,sorry about size
should get it started for the first time tomorrow woohoo

Ox, did you take your car to Tube Engineers for them to fit the exhaust to or did they have a R1 and Indy combination programmed into the computer already?
What provision for the lambda sensor do you have on the exhaust?

i had to take the car to them. they have now made a jig for the ri indy exhaust and have loads of jigs for other engine types i only asked them to make the exhaust with no provisdions for a lambda sensor,im gonna try and get away without using one but if i need to i can allways put one on,the exhaust is loud but i will be fitting the stock R1 can and cat for the sva

Ox, Hope you don't mind me asking but what was the damage for the exhaust? Did you also know if they make one for a ZX9

Chris

They dont do one for the ZX9R yet but I am taking my car over there this weekend so they can do mine. So I assume he will make a jig then.

Gordon

Hi

If you can let me know when they have done it and what it looks like, I would hope they keep a jig for that engine,which will solve me a lot of problems, dont suppose you have a number for them do you .

Thanks Chris B

Chris

You have U2U

why does the fireblade circuit diagram not show any outputs for exhaust sensors and such... ie Lamda Sensor?

I'm a tad confused as to whether our bike needs a CAT or not as there seem's not to be any inputs into CDI for anything like this... HELP!

Our am I talking complete boolox

IMHO I think ours looks pretty neat. A stainless MK version... Mmmm
