Gladius exhaust fits curvy?
 

I'm toying with the idea of fitting a Gladius exhaust to my curvy just for the sake of its looks. I like the idea of having a clean back with no exhaust. Yeah, I'm not adding the ugly rear Gladius endcan just the under-engine box. So has anybody tried this? Think it'll fit? It's basically the same engine I think. Maybe there are some Gladius owners out there that can make comparisons with their mates SV to check this out for me? I'd appreciate any help guys!

I don't actually know or not whether this will fit, but you do know there is a catalyst lurking in there!?

You might notice a drop in performance.

Holy crap that will weigh more than engine

All I'm interested in is to find the cheapest way to have a bellypan exhaust and thought to use the gladius item to do the job. There are plenty of people junking their system and replacing with a full race system so supply shouldn't be a problem. If there is a simpler cheaper way I'm all ears.

What have yo done exactly Kwak? I can't understand from only one picture but it looks like you've gone back to the conventional pipes and end-pipe route.

Yorkie, you're right. It looks damn heavy. Maybe I should find a good welder and make my own? Then again maybe it would be cheaper to use part of it and replace the heavy looking can?

He has an aftermarket mid pipe to replace the catalyst and first silencer.

Not an SV but this guy made up one for a Hawk/Bros. Not sure if you could work a rear header like that though!

Thanks Taipan for this. This is exactly what I'm looking for. It's a pointy but there's no reason the same method shouldn't apply to a curvy. Any more ideas?
