Running SV without Exhaust / Midsection

[jon]

Ok, so i've currently got the exhaust and mid section off. I'm very curious as to what it'd be like to start, would this damage anything?

YES your eardrums :wink:

[jon]

Nothing on the bike? I'll record it :)

[jonboy]

BigApe does not jest :lol: . It is absolutely feckin' loud, so when you do it make sure other people close by (like those within a mile radius with heart problems) know about it.

Shouldn't cause any damage at all but would run rough if you wanted to ride it.

Certainly something you should experience at least once in your life ;).

Crap. Flat battery! I get i better buy a charger tomorrow :(

[jon]

I lied. ************** that's loud. And sounds retarded.

[Grinch]

I always thought is sounded a bit like a Harley when you take the can off and just run it from the pipe.

[jon]

I got a couple of wav files if anyone is interested (before and after). Unfortunately i wimped out and cut the bike out almost straight away with no mid section and i only had the guts to try it again after i'd taken the laptop in. Still, gives a rough idea for anyone who's not heard it.

Imagine a spitfire on a very slow idle. Without any sort of exhaust.

Post the links (maybe make them MP3s)?

Will do once i've messed around with the files to trim the crap.

Greg, would you know anywhere locally where i can buy brackets for the exhaust? The ones on the current mid section are welded on so i can't use those. The best i found was hose clams in halfords and while they'd do the job they're hardly ideal.

If you like the lack of exhaust sound - get an Art can! (or listen to mine at the Rideout!)

I'm putting on a stainless renegade without baffles. Should do the trick :twisted:

I used to have an ART on mine, and it was hideously loud. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Still prefere my Renegade sound though :wink: :wink: :love:

I have an art on my 02 and it sounds awsome it realy is loud I have to keep the rev range down in the mornings when I go to work as we have one of the boys in blue who lives about fifty yards down the road from our house Ha, Ha.

Living near a copper is usually a good move - so is drinking in the pub next to the Nick.

Lesson one of Policing - never pee in your own back yard!

Best place is Renegade itself. Just give them a call and I'm sure they'll send you something - nice people.

Halfords don't, just the car exhaust clamps and i've visited a few stores without any luck.

Best i've found are http://www.aer.co.uk/acatalog/hose_clip.JPG which are a bit flimsy compared to the ones Renegade provide.... Will do as a tempory measure though :)

[Dan_SV]

Busters do em, the proper bike ones. Don't put a ****ty hose clamp on it, it's a crime.

hi there. just to let you know you can get clamps from the people who sell viper race cans. they do them in about 5 diffrent sizes. they are about £4-£6 each. many thanks. jamie

i went to a local car audio shop and they had the exact same clamps i got with my blue flame kit (the ones blue flame told me they were currently out of steel - so i would have to wait for more steel to arrive before sending it out)
