They can make us up high level link pipes which would fit between the original headers and cans (you'd just need to sort the can mounts) for around 100 quid for a twin system, or less if you've got a two-into-one.

This is a specially negotiated (by me!) club discount price and we'd need to get at least ten orders for this.

'm assuming that a monster and SS would not be that much different?

Anyone interested? How does it compare for cost?

I'm interested but I don't want to pay very much for a piece of pipe with 2 bends in it? Am I being a) cheap b) ignorant c) practical?

[antonye]

I'm thinking that we need to get a bike over to them to let them see exactly what is required.

I agree that a couple of short pipes with some bends in them shouldn't be too expensive, but it's very difficult to give a quote over the phone if you don't know the bike very well.

Is anyone close there, or fancy a ride up at some point?

[chicken]

okay - now that I've actually READ the website, I'm happy to stump up for a mandrel-bent pipe.

Please add me to the list Antony - I'm assuming a link pipe for a single can will be about £50?

[antonye]

They guy also mentioned that he can do cans at a reduced price for club members too - might be worth bearing in mind!

[chicken]

looks like I've missed another deal then.....

[antonye]

I don't see why the pipes can't be made up to fit standard cans - which if you've bought an aftermarket can it should also fit.

Looking at the DP brochure pics, the only difference between high and low-level exhausts is a very short piece of connecting pipe. This is actually added (as in welded) to the high level pipes rather than being an additional (separate) piece of pipework.

If someone can sort out these short pieces of additional piping at a relatively cheap cost, I reckon we'll be onto a winner.

[antonye]

This is what I was thinking about - the difference in the pipes is just the short section marked...

Note that the cans are not aligned the same, hence they won't look exactly right in the pic... but you get the idea!

[TP]

I might be up for this Antony, but I a few things need to fall into place before I know what I'm doing.

I'll let you know.

[antonye]

Cool - if/when I get a bike sorted I may take a trip up there to get a proper quote and maybe have a test set made up to see if it really does work.

Once we know how this goes, we can then make a decision on a group purchase.

Posted this last year, I now have a set of high level Cans coming for Cathy`s monster, will get them up to Wayne & ask him how much to do a set for desmo due racers.


High Level Exhaust Systems For Desmo Due racers



I know a company that has just started up in Nottingham that will make a high level system for your racing monster at a fraction of the price you would pay for a named system & will do repairs on cans etc. All he needs to start with is an existing high level system to get the dimensions from or a bike so that he can tailor a system for it. Company is J.A.C, 0115 9635556, 07812191122, guys name is Wayne Jackson, he used to design & make systems for a leading aftermarket manufacturer. Attatched image is a system he made for my R6 before I got my 748.
