Mate you shoud've just customized. I did it for the vt250 got the conversion things (needed like a big to small flange but you could get a 2 into 1) made up and stuck a viffer400 zorst on the vt250, Sounded great went good all for like $100.
The $200 one

Not an option as the pipes are a bit thin....Originally Posted by celticno6
Its a piece of steel tube with LotsaHoles™ and wrapped with zorst stuffing and rammed on the end of the outlets so as to have "some" backpressure and a bit less sewing machine noise.. the pipes are pretty thin and in some spots I had the local bro-in-law weld some plates on them

Thats what I was gunna do... a nice chrome single pipe just to confuse more people as to what it was!Mate you shoud've just customized.

Firstly, the necessity of a new tacho pushed the importance of price up.
The point of my poll was not to give me something to slavishly follow, but rather to stimulate discussion. As it happens, I wouldn't have called Neptune and Custom Chambers without this thread, so it served its purpose.
Also, as expected, everyone who *doesn't* have to pay the cash out of their own pockets thinks that the shiny one is best...
I grilled the man at Vic Wreckers on this point, and he has assured me on the honour of his dead relatives, and even the ones who are just a bit sick, that it is mechanically tiptop.
The current pipes are not chromed, and are therefore insufficiently pretty for my exacting requirements. And see Blakamin's comments re. industrial build quality of the existing mufflage.

Yeeaaaahhh... mebbe. :spudwhat:
But in the end, it's just another 250cc commuter, isn't it? I just can't bring myself to spend more time or dollars on it than I have to, although I'll do whatever's needed to get it in proper condition. Cosmetics and sound are near the bottom of the list, though. The only real reason I'm buying another zorst for the thing is so that I can consign Blakamin's, er, 'special' mufflers to a well-deserved resting place...

yup...they'd look good at the tip...or in a museum for "ingenuity in the face of no $$$" (was seriously broke when I did them)
or keep them for a zeal owner that might need them one day!
oooooooooooo lala
well it might cost less to customise. And a louder bike is safer cause people hear you coming heheheYeeaaaahhh... mebbe. :spudwhat:

C'mon lets ride....
Non of them. Get a two into one adapter made up and buy a cheap as chips after market dunstall replica or reverse cone muffler. WFO have a good selection to choose from and any good bike shop should be able to aquire them.

Chroo, indeed. I'm just being lazy and grumpy and buying something that I *know* will fit and do the trick.
Hey, it's only $200. If I have the leisure and cash at any future point, I might have a poke around for a sexy single can... I'll feel better about doing that now that I've bought a banged-up stock set, you see.

Ah yes. Well, I work just around the corner, so I'll wander by and have a look sometime. Er... do you want the old exhaust system once it's off, then? Better than nothing if another Zeal owner ever needs something that works.
One of the guys at work has just got his TIG welding cert and is going to buy a welder, so perhaps I'll test his mad pipe-welding skillz once he gets set up at home. I could have different exhausts for different days of the week... bit of quick bolting and unbolting, and I'll have a note to match my mood.

I thought about that.... and settled on LOUD!!!!
Yeah, good on you.some welding at home and you have yourself a custom 2 into 1 muffler system. Sing out if you ever need a hand
In case you didn't know, the manufacturers of your motorcycle have invested M$$$ in developing the best exhaust/carburation/injection solution for the best results.
When you complain about the performance of your motorcycle, I'll remind you of your "modifications".
on the up
Maybe, maybe not.
Actually the manufacturers of the motorcycle have invested M$$$ to develop the best exhaust/carburretion/injection solution for the best results possible while still meeting emission/noise standards.
And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.
