Custom chambers exhausts

[0arbreaka]

I've been looking into getting an exhaust made by custom chambers for my zxr 400, I was wondering what their work is like and what their systems and cans look like. Pics would be appreciated

I'm getting them to repair my remus can after my off a few weeks ago, I'll let you know what the quality is like.

I got a pair for my tbird they look the part and fitted nice The only thing is the crome isnt as good as it could be just seems a bit rougher than my old cans overall a 8 out of 10

I fitted a pair of Custom Chambers on my Speedy a couple of years ago. They still look and sound as good as they did when first fitted.
Happy with Service, Price and Product.
Cheers

I've used them over the years and the product has always done the job fine.
My only concern with then in the past has been a lack od specific knowledge at the high performance end of things

had a few from them .. spend the extra and go stainless..

custom built my headers to specification.. ( tube size, length and collector configuration..) bit of rust but thats to be expected after 4 years running rich high octane

nice guys too

Or lack of knowledge / ability, fullstop.

When I had the FahrtSturm, I went to see them about having some endcaps made for the zorsts, which had had the endcaps cut out. The guy said he didn't know what he could do, or how he could do it, without me taking them off, driving all the way back to East Tamaki, having him cut them open to see what they were like inside (I already knew that, and explained it to him), then he would price summat up.
In the end, after talking to two more muffler shops, I gave up trying to explain to the blank-eyed, slack-jawed guys what I wanted, drew up a sketch, went to Wolf mufflers and said: "Here! Make these!" $60 and two days later, and I had Eggs Zachary what I wanted. Stuck 'em in the ends of the zorsts with high-temp black silicone and they were fixed.

It's not rocket science, y'know.

Viffer-readin between the lines that sounded like a case of -Yep Ive been burned by this situation before--Bring me ya pipes so i got security that you'll come back
My concern is more that the zxr's power spread relys more on the diameter/lenth of the pipes than a bike with better self adjustability (injectede bike) or in a lower state of tune.

My point was it wasn't surprising he didn't know much about performance vs. dimensions, given that he couldn't think his way through a very simple problem, even when I explained exactly what I wanted.

Mufflers and the Kiwi DIY spirit in general: Designing your own mufflers is fun, and they're not too expensive to get made... worst case scenario, you have to try again cause your design was shit. Cost me about $1400 for the Microns I put on my bike originally iirc, can get a whole heap of custom made ones for that

On topic, custom ZXR400 headers: Something like a ZXR400 should be easy though.. they've been racing them for years in NZ, the racers must have a pretty good idea about what works and what doesn't... pick some brains

What are they like currently though? high performance wise that is. Would they do a good job on a whole system without jeoprodizing the performance, if not increasing the performance.
