Kudos to Custom Chambers

[Grizz]

Following on from an earlier thread re the VTR roar, I got bitten by the bug and just had some new pipes fitted.

Custom Chambers in East Tamaki (274-1155), just made a set for mine. Pete does a real nice job (despite the look of his workshop), they look and sound like the business. A bit worried though as they are pretty loud, fingers x'd for the next warrant, although I still have the original set.

The price was $650.00 for chrome, or $850.00 for S Steel. I went with the SS option.

Here is the before MOV. file.

and the after file.

I can't get the files to work?

[Grizz]

What application have you tried? they only seem to work with QuickTime.

choice man :niceone:
those sound awesome.. I've had work done by that dude before (can't remember his name at the mo), and it's been top notch.. When I had my bike there, he was doing a SS underseat conversion to an R1 before it became the hype.. looked good

Cheers Buggy,

They do sound nice, I worry a bit coz they are real loud, in the movie file I am only revving it to no more than 2 1/2 3K.

The blokes name is Pete, workshop looks like a dungeon, but he turns out some nice work.

pete... that's it..

you should hear WRTs pipes then.. We should really organise a sound-off.. Just enjoy it. At least they'll hear you coming!

[Grizz]

WRT? But yeah next time we get togther, unable to make the ride Zapf's organising tomorrow, but will be at the Toy Run.

WRT has a millie with pipes on. Can't remember what brand now, but sounds like a couple of helicopters landing..

we'll have a arrange a 'light' cruise some time, now the weather is better etc..

that would be cool, its getting a bit crazy just before Xmas, but hopefully there should be a free day or two.

Otherwise over the Xmas break.

Some photos of the new pipes on your bike would be a good idea so we can get an idea of the standard of finish. They have certainly improved the noise...

[Grizz]

Good point Hitcher, will post some up tomorrow.

that's a nice note. I'd even say the first one is a nice note.. but the second one is gorgeous.

Pity the camera wasn't in the same place for each one, the second one was very muted in sound and volume needed to be turned up to get a good idea of what's going on.

interesting to see your wheel spin there, I hope it was on a good stand.

I never want to drop a bike off a stand with the wheel going though, that would be the bad.

[Grizz]

Here are some pics, IMO the quality is excellent.Basically the note is similar to that of the Two Brothers exhaust. But for a lot less price. Also the original pipes tapered in towards each other where these are straight, the OD of the new pipes are also smaller.

I took another MOV file, this time on a similar angle. The revs disn't exceed 7 grand. The note is awesome especialliy under load, even going down through the gears.

Nice nice nice... quick question - was that just for the cans or for the pipework too?

oh wow
now I'm pondering spending money on pipes :-o
bad bad man giving me ideas

[Grizz]

That price was all inclusive. It was for the cans, the pipework to where it joins at the bottom, basically under the front of the chain, and the labour.

Looks damn good man I'll definately be paing them a visit:headbang:

[Pixie]

Is Custom Chambers still owned/run by the guy that started it in Kingsland a coon's age ago?
I'm wondering coz I did hear that he contracted something terminal.
