V11 Headers, how many...?

[RacerX]

Alright, so I too have fell victim to the lackluster V11 Sport/Le Mans headers... which leads me to ask how many of you would be interested in a high quality replacement?

 

I will be doing a set for myself, but was wondering how many of you might be interested in a set(?). Cost might be @$350~400 USD. These will be full *quality* stainless, and will most likely include collars and/or shims. They'll be guaranteed until you crash them. PM or e-mail me direct if you're interested. I may try and check back here this week.

If no takers, I'm sure I'll find something else to loose money on.

 

The guy fabbing these will be SoCal's newest Guzzi pipe builder, who just finished a rockin' (dyno-proven) set-up for my Jack-All;

Hi Todd,

 

What are you thinking about- same OD? Same ID? Single wall? Polished or brushed or unfinished? Would they be the later style with a front crossover or straight headers?

 

Thanks,

J, single wall with same ID. Brushed/as delivered stainless or we could polish them for a few extra bucks. I'm going to say, for right now, that they will be without the front x-over, unless there is a HIGH interest in those wanting them. I have both pairs, so I might do some dyno testing (with air/fuel data) to show/see what works best.

 

I will most likely follow this with a full system, most likely a 2-1 for use on my (soon coming) V11 Racebike.

I am interested but will wait for news on full race system.

Todd,

 

I am very interested. Will put down deposit if necessary to confirm.

 

Am concerned, tho, about fitting non-crossover version to Ballabio.

 

Thanks for all you do for Guzzis and Guzzisiti.

Todd,

I would be interested, especially if your dyno testing shows that there is not much of an improvement with the x-over. I'd prefer a system without it. I have already replaced one side (split along a manufacturing crease), and constantly mess around with the x-over to try to seal exhaust leaks, even after going with the solid shims.

Go for it and count me in.

And for a mere $850 (tax, shipping, sake, etc - not included), you can try and convince this Japanese shop to export you a set of these:

 

 

 

"Dr. John" replicas.

 

Todd's version looks better and better all of the time.

Something that looks like the Griso headers w/ a proper 2->1->2 utilizing the stock cans [or aftermarket slip-ons] would be a treat. [or like the unit illustrated on the Jack-All]

 

Just doesn't make a lot of sense to me to offer something that just recreates the V11's less-than-ideal stock exhaust control.

 

Ride on!

That looks like a two into one to me Skeeve...

 

I too would like a full system.

I could do with a set too, if they could be sent to England. I would be interested to know what the results of the front crossover/no front crossover test, as the Rosso has one and, apparently, that's the cause of the cracking A system which retains the stock/aftermarket slipon silencers would be great.
