04-05 Titanium 2-1 exhaust

[Turbota]

Just wondering what your thoughts are on this titanium exhaust system from Japan? Installed on an 04 or 05 Sporty.

Here is a couple of pics of some other very interesting bikes from Japan:

Don't think it's very pretty, maybe in chrome? Can you chrome Titanium or does that defeat the object?

I think you have to decide between good looks and good performance. But I think if Harley launched a bike with that on there would be a few negative comments.

Still, yer pays yer money...

Like these stubby 2-1s very much!!!! :clap :D
And the price seems OK at CHF ~1300. :rolleyes:
But how loud will they be? Maybe too loud???? :lolsign
I like the idea of the bolt-on + springs to hold the whole stuff together. Never liked the echaust-clamp-thing on any bike I had.

looks great to me, if ya want them black VHT them

Well with titanium you'll sure save some weight and the look isn't half bad. I personally would prefer a more straight back exit but I think they would be worth a try

From a performance standpoint, those first 2-1s are probably not the greatest. A good exhaust system has lots of volume (not the decibel type) for gas expansion. Notice how much volume the SuperTrapp duals would have in comparison.

Did I do my currency conversion right?? Are we talking over $1100 USD here?? Very nice pipes (in black), but not for that much cash...

All I gotta say is that I love the rear pulley in the first pic. Where on earth did they find a "rip-off of a late 60's Chevy Rally wheel-style" pulley?

I really like those pipes, but I don't think they would look right on a Custom.
I think any weight reduction would compensate for any lack of increase in power. Those things probably weigh less than half the stock system.

Nope! I'll save my money for a coons tail to hang behind the license plate!

:D :laugh :D :laugh

I think I would rather spend the money on those long tassles that hang from the end of the handlebar grips!

I just saw this pipe on you tube and that thing is the sweetest pipe i have ever seen for a sporty. I'm going to check it out a little more like how do I get one ? does anybody out thererun one? I am all over that.
