twin exhust

[daz_ash]

i want to get a twin exhust for my bike, but cant seem 2 find 1 for my sv any 1 no were i can get 1 ??

[zsv650]

laser do em i think remus might aswell their a bit carp though all they do is add weight and add no power i asked ages ago too look good though.

[kwak zzr]

renagade do too dont they.

[mattSV]

renagade do too dont they.

Renegade DID do them for curvies however Jorge has now gone back to Portugal.

Anyway, Dangerous Dave doesn't like them ;)

[daz_ash]

all i need is down pipes coz putting aqupovic cans cos there lighter

[kwak zzr]

steve god had twin high level on his pointy? thought they were renegade?

No offence but that makes no sense :) You'll save a little weight with light cans but you'd save a lot more by only having one can... Not to mention probably getting better power. It does look decent though, if done right. I miss mine :( even if they did cost me power, weigh as much as a planet, and cause premature deafness.

[daz_ash]

well its restricted anyways so gotta make it look good, as stuped as that sounds :)

[northwind]

Nah, that makes sense. Just don't worry about a few hundred grams here or there, it's peanuts on the grand scheme. Shed 25 kilos, you notice :mrgreen:

[daz_ash]

lol but i still havnt found wee i can get the twin cans from sooo help links plz lol

[yorkie_chris]

spk nglish u cnt!

Try renegade, or zorstec.

[Amplimator]

Laser extreme twin pipes are awesome! ok so, they dont add power but for godsakes which after-market cans do on the SV??? they do help smooth out power delivery a bit an sound freakin rood ;)

a re-map/re-jet aint necessary either so jus bolt on

and as for the weight issue, i did weigh up the original can AND the laser cans/pipes/straps etc and found them to be pretty much the same! so that puts an end to that myth too.....

if you want some buy em....its your bike an u gotta enjoy it;)

squirrel hunter had twin renegades they were VERY LOUD

put an ad in the wanted section on here, and check out ebay

If you just want pipework for your existing cans then try www.zorstec.com (http://www.zorstec.com) I'm sure if you take your bike there with your cans they will make the pipework to fit.

As said, Renegade are no longer as far as i know anyway. I know that the plan was to produce the cans out there and send them over, hwoever, Jorge had a few issues with some racing stuff and it never happened.

IXIL and laser are your only bets, but im sure they wont just sell the paperwork.

AS for all this weight saving malarky, i mean, a twin Renegade system at the time was about 2/3rds of the wieght of the stock can, and if weigth is really your worry then either ride naked, or stop eating pies!

Morning Lads,

For all you guys saying '+1', are you morons, idiots, stupid or just feel it's cool for you to pretend to be f_cking cnuts?

Why do I ask that? I really don't believe anyone(with half a brain atleast) wouldn't prefer to make themselves understood in a similar manner to majority of members of ANY forum.

I can see why YC might have been irritated but that there are better ways to get the point across...if need is felt.

Sorry for the blunt post lads.....

Squirrel Hunter has Twin Renegades, but hes never put them on his bike.

Squirrel Hunter used a Single High Level Renegade on his first SV, and yes it was loud, probably something to do with the lack of packing and the hole in the down pipes... But it was loud even when the pipes were solid... Even louder when the exhaust fell off though...

Been a pleasure.

Back to the topic at hand, are single (traditional side) exhaust motorbikes designed heavier on one side due to the exhaust? Or designed balanced?

I know exhaust don't weigh too much but in changing from single to dual, is there the possibility of upsetting balance?

if that were the case it would be the same for 2 into 1 systems on a sv1000 (tho opposite effect)

cant say ive noticed a difference tho im no expert lol

[Dave20046]

Check my post on viper exhausts for SV's, see if viper do a twin...

[yorkie_chris]

There will be some offset weight, but in the order of you needing to put 1% more force into your little pinky when you have your right foot down. Nothing worth considering.

Also it is worth mentioning if you go for renegades, do not use the renegade air kit as it's pretty useless. Treat them like a slip-on exhaust.

If you decide to take a trip up to zorstec, have a chat with them, they will almost certainly be able to build you a renegade system (just weld another boss straight onto the back of the stock pipework, bodgetastic!) or if your wallet stretches far enough then they will probably be able to build you a full system which actually flows properly.

[squirrel_hunter]

Is that the filter, the velocity stacks, or the main jets you have a problem with, or the whole combination? Therefore is there any part of the kit that you consider worthwhile? And what findings do you base your statement on?

[Dangerous Dave]

Anyway, Dangerous Dave doesn't like them ;)
Very true, the design messed up the flow of the headers and the 2-2 connection was famous for being welded to last days not years! They add weight and no power, also nobody has ever managed to replicate Renegades dyno results on any other dyno. Massively over priced, especially when you consider the downpipes are yours already!

If you are really interested in adding weight and gaining no power then for a Curvy have a look at Ixil (although they use a cross over under the seat) or for a Pointy try the Laser half system. Neither are performance exhausts, all for aesthetics.

[husky03]

Got mine purely for looks-I think that the bike looks better with twin cans, but its just my own opinion-each to there own

They are indeed! :D

However as MattSV (and others) mentioned - the owner has moved to Portugal :(

If they can find one second hand, they're brilliant!

The filter flows worse than stock IMO, it's absolutely miles behind the BMC race or race RS. I have tried one in my bike.

The velocity stacks, I have not tried.

Main jets is main jets whatever company they come from. Jet right for whatever setup and it will be the same whether you are on dynojet kits, mikuni parts or renegades ones.

The renegade airkit is total, total gash. Just dismal design, it needs tank spacers (though the directions say NOT to use them) otherwise the filter actually hits the sound dampening foam under the tank and chokes itself. The only way it's possible to mess up that much is that either it was designed for tank spacers then the instructions were changed, or it was tested with the tank up on the dyno. I reckon it was the latter.

Their exhausts, well, if it wasn't for the price and the dyno claims they'd be alright I reckon, I've not seen the problems DD describes with the welding on any of the bikes I know with them, though that's not to say it doesn't happen. But as it is you pay top drawer for 2 slipons and a bodge.

laser look good, I always think they sound awful though, v-twins should growl, laser rasp. But that's personal taste.

Zorstec have made a longstanding and succesful business out of making exhausts that, no matter what they're fitted to, lose exactly 10% power over standard. it's uncanny. Crossflow, 1.8T, SV650, you name it.

I had the renegade cans and airkit (with tank spacers) on my old curvy, never had any issues with quality or running in the 3 years or so I had them. I still have the dyno runs somewhere however won't post them as I know they don't mean nuffing :-D.

When I bought the cans back in 2000, I don't think anyone else was doing the twin set up - I liked the look and sound of them, so bought them. Yeah they were a lot of money ( I paid £660 including fitting and dyno run) but I never stopped grinning at the sound everytime I rode it.

Had the airkit fitted later - can't remember how much that was, however I was biking to London every day then so was getting paid about £55 a day in expenses - that all went towards the airkit, a set of 010s etc ;) Going back to Renagade to have the airkit fitted was also a damn goodexcuse to have a good rideout all across the south downs to Kent, and then tuck in to the chinese takeaway that Jorge & Tomoko used to lay on, which was nice.

[northwind]

Oh, I meant to say that I do still have the intake stacks in mine, they seem to slightly improve the mids although it's small enough that it could just be placebo. I don't care, placebo is as good as real hp on the road :mrgreen:

[daz_ash]

lol any 1 selling a twin exhust then coz im still no closer to getting 1 except emaling some exhust companys for quots

[phil24_7]

I MAY eventually get around to fitting my twin cans at some point, as I think it's stupid to keep them behind the sofa, with the single sided high level and soon to be joined by a damage (to be stubied) fuel can!!

[Dave20046]

Nevermind..
