Is it just me ,or do those pipes look a bit , well sorry mate, ghey? [this from an ex Z1-R owner]

[Sniper]

Ghey would be an ok work, although it is................. er................ different

don't think they look too bad, if done right.
But why block them off like that? For the back pressure? And if that's the case, then put the restrictor thingies further down the pipe so you can't see them..

Or at least paint the restrictors (and the rest of the inside of the pipes) black so they don't stick out like dog's nuts

I saw that guy in Christchurch last year before he got baffles put in. They were LOUD!
Would be interesting to hear them now. I've also seen a German dude remove the catalytic converter and shorten the pipes a few inches. They didn't sound too bad.

Hey Grumpy, wanna get rid of a set for R & D?

Grumpy, how's the Z and the Z? Saw you got some Pazzo levers too. Got pics?
I'm getting an '03 ZX6 rear shock for mine. We'll see how the handling is affected come summer. Also got some crash bobbins, still to be fitted.

Actually sounded quite good...plates are there to reduce noise...The amazing thing is he cut them with an angle grinder...did a nice job though.

Straight pipes versus muffler... A general question...

Writing this up will take time and I'll probably have to go and look through some of my old text books to make sure I don't make too many glaringly obvious mistakes but the short version is that once the gas is moving either into or out of the cylinder it's inertia will want to keep it moving.

You could probably make copies fairly easily from mild steel and get them procoated to make them look good and protect them. With the low volume it would be hard to baffle(quiten) without causing restriction.

In fatc I'm sure I could do a pretty good job making them.

I wouldn't go cutting you originals as you may want to sell it one day . Person here has put a pair of Microns onto his Looks & sound excellent . Don't like the Originals at all but to each their own .

if you know what I mean. I know a guy in the HB that 'could' do that. I won't say 'would' until I speak to him - or you do.

I am thinking along the lines of Eurodave on this one (except for the ghey comment). Not my cup of tea.
Different strokes for different folks.
