What kind of exhaust system?

Post by dsl_slr »

Hi!

I wonder which company has made the exhaust system on my bike.
It´s a complete system in Titan according to the manual.
I live in Sweden but the bike is imported from the US.
According to the manual the system is bought in 1992.

Here´s a picture on it and a picture on the whole bike:

Hi,
That looks very much like the exhaust FartBlood has on his bike, but you say yours is not aluminium but Titanium ? so that would definitely be after market not a Yamaha part. look on the end caps & the side closest to the wheel for Makers stamps .

Yeah it´s titanium and the problem is that there´s no stamps on it. I´m just curious...

DSL,
The only thing I can now suggest is Google for " titanium exhausts FZR " and find some pictures.
That one you have has been re-packed I would say as there is no fancy trim band round the rivet heads.

Well the angle of the end and the rivets look a lot like my Yoshimura pipe, but I don't know if they made ti at all.

Hope I helped.

Chris,
what is interesting is that on DSL's Titanium exhaust there is just ONE rivet hole for something like a badge NOT two like your YOSHI , so yes we are getting closer.

I could be wrong but it looks like a D&D.. They aren't popular on FZR's but the sound might help you pick it out.. they are louder than most aftermarkets (maybe the reason you repacked it)

Amen about the D&D. My old room mate has one on his 02 r6 and I can't ride next to him. It reverberates in my helmet. I've told him a thousand times to ride just a little behind me if he wants to ride side by side. He is one of those people that can't look like he is following (losing to) someone else. Know what I mean. Does make a nice flame though.

dsl_slr i just had to say that is a gorgeous bike, it is in fantastic shape! :thumbsup: i'm not sure what exhaust that is, but it does have a similar look to a D&D pipe.

Thank you so much for your help the kind words! I think that maybe it is a D&D exhaust. It looks very similar to the one on the youtube link. And yeah it´s pretty loud. The highest allowed noise on the inspection in Sweden is 103 decibel and it was one decibel over. I passed the inspection but we repacked it anyway. It wasn´t so much noise reducing material left...

haha, that´s what she said... I haven´t visit here for a while, that´s why I haven´t updated my profile. Like yamaha_george said it´s just one hole for a badge or something and i´ve noticed that D&D have two holes for there badge like Yoshimura. Thanks everyone for the help, and if you come up with something new let me know!

Roger that George. I have a "Carbon Can Company" stainless oval pipe originally intended for an early R6. Apart from the type of metal, it looks identical. A tasty bit of pipeage if ever there was.
