single sided dual exhaust

[BrianG]

I recently saw a picture of a "Sporty" model V-11 wearing an exhaust system that swept both pipes to the left side.

 

Anyone know who makes that?

Ah, the infamous "Cobra" exhaust of Captain Nemo of Seattle. He used to flail at this board and has been banished or shunned off, but you can probably search for a thread or go to wildguzzi.com on the forum there where he periodically surfaces. He has a web site called "Rolling Crows" or something, so perhaps a web search will turn him up that way. He offered to get more exhausts made for around $800, which isn't out of line, but claimed a perfectly flat torque curve as a result of his "design" that most knowledgeable individuals would suggest isn't quite possible. Until someone besides Captain Nemo actually does performance analysis on that system, we'll never know. I thought it was a very nice looking system though.

Any pictures of it?

....now are you asking about a 2:1 system, or a "dual exhaust" that simply is swept to one side?

 

If the former, yes many of these have been made, although I don't know of a kit one can buy. That being said, it is a relatively easy thing to do. Just go with the stock sized tubing, and make sure the headers are equal length(which will require some creative bending).

 

A good 2:1 system will be a good performer, but most v-twin owner eschew them simply on visual and audio aesthetics

 

Enzo/Captain Nemo did indeed make his own, and you can do a search on "cobra" to find some photos here or on Wildguzzi.

 

You can also visit his forum:

...it looks like he pared down the forum there, but if you ask for photos, I'm sure he'll gladly point you to some

I was looking for a pair, swept to the one side.

 

I seem unable to log on to that site........

Somehow I don't think this is what you are looking for, is it?

[BrianG]

Good guess Jim!

 

Too much time above 12,500 lately??

Why not? Honda's 2>1 on the VTXabcdefg [sorry, dunno which of their latest models it was *exactly*. Geez, they're getting as bad as H-D with the alphabet soup!..] leads to a similar almost perfectly flat torque curve.

 

It's possible, & in Enzo's defense, he at least didn't claim to have had that end result in mind, just that he lucked into it with his pipe design [which design had been driven purely by aesthetic concerns.]

This is a stock terminioni race system, cut in pieces and welded toghether.

Jim If you look good, he grounded the whole upgoing pipe over more then 20cm, That's a lean angle:-)

This is the guy that made the mgs01 replica

Indeed a lean angle.

Ahhaaa

[BrianG]

Sorry, that's not it either!!
