jrt Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 Too bad Enzo doesn't frequent here anymore. I think he has a two into one fitted on his bike. You might want to post this same question on the MGNOC website- I know he still ocassionally posts there. I've *heard* that 2/1 exhausts don't work well on Guzzi's. I have no personal experience so I can't say. I'm also kind of interested in it, because I would like to fit a 2/1 onto my sidecar rig, but don't want to if it really works against the motor.

gthyni Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 I got one homebuilt and I had planned a dyno run before the season ended but between buying a house and unstable weather I did get to it. It will be done first thing in the season of 2005. I really needs some tuning (more petrol) in the low and mid RPM ranges, in high RPMs in works OK with a open-filter/mistrals map I got on the net. I gutted a stock crossover removing some mesh, damping and a stabilizing bolt. Cut of the left hand outlet, banged it together and welded it shut. On the right side and put a 2" bend and a 4" Supertrapp megaphone with 6 diffusion plates. The sound is nice, classic looks and save a few kilos weight.

Guest watanabe Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 GREAT JOB! My experience , 6 discs was not enough for 1064 twin engine. when I used super trapp for XLH1200+hi-flowhead 12to15 discs with openend made good result on DYNO.

Ballacraine Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 I had a very sucessful two into one system on a modified 750-S3. Dynos weren't around for Joe Public at the time, but it was a lot cleaner on pick-up & you could play a symphony depending on what revs you shut off from! It was pretty loud, but mellodious and not offensive! IIRC the bloke that fabricated it for me (who used to do exhausts for Vauxhall works rally cars) said that the crux of getting a two into one to work right is to have even length downpipes & have the collector 42" from the head. It seemed to work very well as friends & family had three or four more similar design systems that all worked very well. HTH Nige. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a extra 6-pack of disks and I will try to find an optimal compromise between flow and a resonable sound level. My first prototype broke when I was on a test ride so I know the sound of a V11 with straight pipes... it is not recommended. An easy reving twin like our V11s without some damping is like a straight pipe Harley, the sound is harder and much loader, so load that it is uncomfortable even riding the bike with fullface helmet on.

Guest cliffy Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 Hi i like the set up!! do you have a part number or more information of your supertrapp magaphone ? It looks really good the kind of thing im looking for!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gthyni Posted September 26, 2004 Share Posted September 26, 2004 Hi i like the set up!! do you have a part number or more information of your supertrapp magaphone ? It looks really good the kind of thing im looking for!! 34271[/snapback] It is a 2" intake an 4" disk unit. The megaphone I used came of a Buell kit, but I think the part numbers for just similar megaphones is 425-20000 with a matt finish and 426-20010 chromed but check with your supertrapp dealer since their might be different lenghts available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cliffy Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 thanks very much i shall check the numbers out as soon as i can ! Its a shame winter is on its way !! still it leaves plenty of time to prepare for next year !!! It is a 2" intake an 4" disk unit.

beauchemin Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Gthyni - do you have an update on this project? Does anyone know this GBR exhaust? http://www.bikersandmore.de/gpr-deutschlan...moto_guzzi.html another photo on this current ebay auction http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gthyni Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Gthyni - do you have an update on this project? nothing special, it did it's service this summer, looks cool, sound cool. I just rewelded a crack that was due to bad welding on my part. I haven't dyno-ed it yet, but probably will coming spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard100t Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 I guess now that the Breva & the Griso are going with one canister it must be ok. I still prefer 2 canisters on a v twin for the sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
