my first N/A header... something a bit different.
 

this was not fun to make, but it was an interesting project.

Nice. Very very nice.

What speed are they aiming for?

Re: my first N/A header... something a bit different.
 

this is a side car race bike... not meant for top speed except on the straights. :P he expects to blow the motor up before the end of the season since it runs pretty much wot through every race. i was invited to ride along as the "monkey" but i explained i enjoy seeing my kids on a regular basis and not being in a casket in the ground. :S

Ah gotcha. I should noticed the slicks and known it was not a desert top speed demon.

wow, just wow















wow.

What the purpose of the exhaust exiting out the front and not coming out the back? Cool ---- though Aaron. When I first quick looked at it I thought it was gonna be for a K-series. Then notices the flange for the head.

Looking good. Keep it up

Are the flanges you're using from the stock exhaust, or do you know where you can find them from the MFG?

Re: my first N/A header... something a bit different.
 

i designed them and had them waterjet cut locally.

to keep your ass hot is as close as I can tell.

Re: my first N/A header... something a bit different.
 

i dont think you explained to me in another mani thread you made about why you use individual exhaust flanges instead of a solid one? does it allow more expasion due to heat or just merely something thats kind of your signiture?

Think he wanted a seat warmer.

Re: my first N/A header... something a bit different.
 

It's used because of the head design. Some heads use individual flanges for each runner.

Re: my first N/A header... something a bit different.
 

ok but is it more for clearance or stability? i understand some applications use the design but wouldnt it be more worthhile to use a one piece flange for longevity?

Re: my first N/A header... something a bit different.
 

most motorcycle exhaust headers seal with individual gaskets for each cylinder port to it is a good idea to have each runner seal with its own flange to help ensure a proper seal. the head on this engine actually has part of the casting forming a pocket that the gasket sits in, hence the reason why the flanges are not at the end of the pipes. in a lot of headers the flange will actually be loose on the runner with a step on the runner that it forces into the gasket. i think if i do another bike header, this is how i would do it to make it easier to line up all the holes... i was just pressed for time making this one so i just welded the flanges to the pipe rather than making a step for them to seat against.

------- brilliant work O0

that's a hayabusa motor right?

Re: my first N/A header... something a bit different.
