Clean and stubbied

[Brettus]

well OK ALMOST clean, I didn't get to finish it but I thought I'd be self indulgent and take a pose shot. Turned out quite nicely I thought.

Shame the left over autosol makes the scraped link pipe show up, will wash that out tomorrow and it will blend in again.

Still chuffed with myself that I managed to stubby it all on my own :D well with a few good pointers from the org first of course :)

top job sir :) they always look good stubbied.

Wow looks great. You stubbied the can yourself!?! I bet that sounds beautiful. Love the picture too, nice bit of sun in the background. :)

[Brettus]

Yep, surprised myself too as I usually mess things like that up but this worked out, a couple of bits not perfect but then it was far from perfect to start with so its a huge improvement :) (theres a thread in tweaking and tuning if anyone cares to see the before shot)

Can't wait to go on a rideout with it now as it does sound ace (IMHO anyway) but I don't really fancy trying its maiden org rideout through north wales just to pick up my idiot fine and rectification notice, I'd rather get a bit of use out of it first before risking it hehe.

I had visions of it being horribly loud and not sounding as nice but its the same tone pretty much just with a tad more VOLUME LOL and it pops a little bit more which I kinda like on long overrun.

All in all I'm rather pleased with myself this weekend, bike looks significantly better, not least for the bit of cleaning I did, just surface clean though, no fiddly bits.

I am very impressed, it looks great, might have to do mine. ooooo i love that popping sound mmmmm.

Nice one, welcome to the stubby club :)

No, I keep meaning to go there to get some sunset pics but this was just beeston castle on my way back home after a rush visit to work after a power cut.

Thanks mister c, it was how easy you made it look and the swiftness with which you sorted yours that convinced me to have a proper look at doing it :-)

Does it sound the same even at the bass end? I would have thought the shorter can would cut out some of the low frequencies, making it sound a little more "crisp" or "defined" and less "woolly". Hard to describe sounds tho :rolleyes:

True enough, it is different but I was being very general, there is more definition to the sound now, it properly barks if you blip it.

Think this needs a video, hope my camera mic will do it justice, I'll try and position it the same as my original stock to akra system (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgQyjV4Evws) video so it should be comparable, watch this space.

Need to try and get the dog in it too as every comment mentions him :) star of the show hehe

[Brettus]

OK I got round to taking a short clip of the exhaust, sorry its tacked on the end of the other video but it makes for interesting comparison.

FYI: where the revs are held momentarily its at 7k, the final "bark" is at 9kish certainly got the dogs attention though :-)

think youtube are still processing but it should work.

Best exhaust recording i've heard for quite a while. They usually sound utterly pants and not at all like hearing it properly.

I think the stubby does sound slightly sweeter, especially when you hold the throttle constant - but you're right there's not much in it. And my computer speakers here at work wouldn't reproduce any difference at the bass end anyway.

There is a difference when you run it through an amp :razz:

Hah, I was surprised in the sound reproduction when I heard it through my sennheiser headphones, my little Canon S3 camera does OK. I'm liking it anyhow, was late for work so was giving it the beans this morning :smt077

Translation: I deliberately left 10 mins late for work just so I could listen to her roar! ;)

Not bad at all from the Canon :thumbsup:

Correct. If you don't, you get silence :p

Fine smartypants!
