Neptune: New muffler design, need opinions feedback!

[nptnz]

Hi All

We have been tinkering around with some new more modern looking muffler ends, the one pictured is tapered in the sleeve as well

See attached pic of the new end and let me know if you like/hate/want to blow it up

Many thanx :yes:

Mark

[BuzzardNZ]

sorry to say, looks kinda plain jane to me.

[et al]

Looks pretty good. Will you put those new end caps on all your mufflers, or will it be an option?

[nptnz]

The Neptune current range still selling well and popular but lot of requests for the newer style ends.

but we will be doing the ends in black stainless steel as well

I personally prefer the spout look! , but got to act on customer requests

Thanx

[Mental Trousers]

Looks good :niceone:

[avgas]

Too long.
I would love a reverse of that. With more taper. ..
...
and no I have no money.

But here is a crude rendition of what I was talking about
220702

[nptnz]

did one of those reverse cone for a speed tripple few years back!

By memory it was a freebie!

[Jonno.]

I recon a shorter version would look great.

[AllanB]

Always loved the reverse cones.

I quite like the new end cap you have - the only part I find a bit 'bland' for want of a term is the connection point - just looks like a riveted on end cap (which it is of course). Maybe a nice polished stainless or gold coloured retaining band under the rivets would jazz it up a bit. Cap on inside and band on the outer like the Yoshi or Marvin below? I presume you've gone outer for superior sealing, but a bit of high-temp rtv on assembly will prevent any issues.

A good high polish to the entire pipe would add appeal on it's own.

Cleaner than the MIVV outlet below.

Keep up the good work.

It needs to be shorter and not quite so round if I'm going to get a pair of them under the seat on an Aprilia Shiver...

Tig it, it can always be repacked from the other end if it needs it

[Gremlin]

What about the main muffler not being round or simple oval? Something like Akrapovic or Wings. Carbon fibre end caps maybe?

Some bikes suit a round pipe (hornet for example) others need shorter, or pipes that aren't round...

[nptnz]

Thanx for all your feedback its great to get this!

We just fitted a pipe to a new aprilia v4 and stuck our standard end on ,the muffler is 95mm round on the inlet and oval at the rear so we need to stick a nicer end on it!

Does't realy cut it for me. Muffler is something that you are going to live with it and it should make you say Niiiiiiiiiice everytime you look at it.
The other factor is the sound which we can't decide.
Good effort thou

well gidday BD how u going , how many mufflers you want?:yes:

[NZsarge]

Pretty par for the course these days, nothing wrong with that though. All you need to do now is squash it a bit coz i'm not a fan of round cans, much prefer ovals.

[Maha]

Tis really cool in a simplistic way, cant pour coffee out of that....:rockon:

Wicked thanks Mr Maha, i must be getting old ive been making mufflers for 10 years!

seen a lot of changes in that time
:drinkup:

[Big Dave]

I tell you roosters this for nuffink.

I think Neptune Mufflers are excellent value. They are top quality and made right here in Wellywood, by a good Kiwi bloke who stands behind his product.

As they say in Tasmania - Three thumbs up!

[AllanB]

As they say in Tasmania - Three thumbs up!

Up who/what though?

I have always liked your twin outlets - and they both work unlike some on the market (one is fake).

Also - good call a few years back with offering a Neptune on the Suzuki Sumerfest bikes. Nice to see them supporting a local - hope you made some $ out of it though.

[Owl]

A Neptune on a Triple is something else!

They look great and I'd be the first to purchase............if I didn't already have the coolest cans on the planet:D

[nptnz]

see images of the New pipe (next to the older style) this is for Bruce Telfords Aprilia
V4 its tapered from round to oval at rear.:scooter:

[AllanB]

Nice job, very clean. :yes:

[2wheeldrifter]

Top one is nice... :)

[nptnz]

Thanks , top one is new model , lower is the older design




Top one is nice... :)

[nudemetalz]

Yes agree with you, that top one is a stunning piece of work :)

[nptnz]

Thanks for all your feedback but wanted to get as many opinions as possible prior to
offering them to dealers, as soon as i get a chance ill get some photos of the muffler fitted to Bruce Telfords Aprilia V4 , hope to do it on Monday:drinkup:

HELL yeah. thats hot.

Really like the twin outlet muffler:niceone: Do you make them to suit a 2008 Kawasaki Z750? Looking at updating soon and if the new bike has the factory ugly:sick: muffler it will need a replacement. Quite like the idea of them being made locally to

Thanks, No problem to make twin outlet for you bike , just may need you to send your original muffler for us to set up with.

Can do it in polished , brushed , textured stainless or black chromed stainless steel

Good to support local & keep nz $$$ here :rockon:

Hey Mark, I had someone ask me on Sunday if neptune do a stumpy can. He owns a Bandit, must love it because hes buying a new one, I guess if you can fit a stumpy to it you may very well have a sale.

Mark.

[nptnz]

Hi Mark.

Yes that is no problem to make stumpy muffler ! , if he keen get him to give me a call and discuss options.

Many Thanks

Mark
