BrianG Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 I recently saw a picture of a "Sporty" model V-11 wearing an exhaust system that swept both pipes to the left side. Anyone know who makes that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callison Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 I recently saw a picture of a "Sporty" model V-11 wearing an exhaust system that swept both pipes to the left side. Anyone know who makes that? 48654[/snapback] Ah, the infamous "Cobra" exhaust of Captain Nemo of Seattle. He used to flail at this board and has been banished or shunned off, but you can probably search for a thread or go to wildguzzi.com on the forum there where he periodically surfaces. He has a web site called "Rolling Crows" or something, so perhaps a web search will turn him up that way. He offered to get more exhausts made for around $800, which isn't out of line, but claimed a perfectly flat torque curve as a result of his "design" that most knowledgeable individuals would suggest isn't quite possible. Until someone besides Captain Nemo actually does performance analysis on that system, we'll never know. I thought it was a very nice looking system though.

al_roethlisberger Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 ....now are you asking about a 2:1 system, or a "dual exhaust" that simply is swept to one side? If the former, yes many of these have been made, although I don't know of a kit one can buy. That being said, it is a relatively easy thing to do. Just go with the stock sized tubing, and make sure the headers are equal length(which will require some creative bending). A good 2:1 system will be a good performer, but most v-twin owner eschew them simply on visual and audio aesthetics Enzo/Captain Nemo did indeed make his own, and you can do a search on "cobra" to find some photos here or on Wildguzzi. You can also visit his forum: http://p209.ezboard.com/btherollingcrowmotorcycleclub ...it looks like he pared down the forum there, but if you ask for photos, I'm sure he'll gladly point you to some al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeeve Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Ah, the infamous "Cobra" exhaust of Captain Nemo of Seattle....He offered to get more exhausts made for around $800, which isn't out of line, but claimed a perfectly flat torque curve as a result of his "design" that most knowledgeable individuals would suggest isn't quite possible.... 48664[/snapback] Why not? Honda's 2>1 on the VTXabcdefg [sorry, dunno which of their latest models it was *exactly*. Geez, they're getting as bad as H-D with the alphabet soup!..] leads to a similar almost perfectly flat torque curve. It's possible, & in Enzo's defense, he at least didn't claim to have had that end result in mind, just that he lucked into it with his pipe design [which design had been driven purely by aesthetic concerns.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Minnaert Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Jim If you look good, he grounded the whole upgoing pipe over more then 20cm, That's a lean angle:-) This is the guy that made the mgs01 replica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
