Angled Exhaust Connector Question...

03 Feb 2007 11:38

Check out this eBay listing for the exhaust system pictured below.

See the two "adaptor pipes" he includes in the set? Where can I get some?!?! Anybody seen these for sale somewhere?

These adaptors would be perfect for 750 twin owners like me, looking to replace the stock mufflers with just about any non-up-swept mufflers.

For me, I have a set of Sportster mufflers all ready to go on that need something exactly like this. I was hoping to get something nicer looking than a piece of custom-made steel pipe from an exhaust shop, so any help would be MUCH appreciated. Thanks!

Yep! I contacted the guy through eBay, and he said they are available, and to email him. So I have, and I await more detail, which I will update when I get it....

I have looked and looked and looked... catalogs and internet... This guy is the first I've ever seen of anything like it... It seems to me that this is something other people would want, given the price of aftermarket mufflers... and especially considering the rarity of up-swept slip-ons, required by bikes like my 750 twins (but not my 400s, which are fine with straight mufflers)....

You have no relation to the business that's selling them. so in my official opinion it's ok to post contact info for someone that's selling them.

Besides, I'm interested also. :evil:

Odd.

After exchanging a few emails and getting a better description, I just bought a set from the seller I posted above, and it was the exact same price, plus $5.05 shipping.

Was it you, indykaw77? Or did you buy a set or contact him too?

I will post much more details once I get them, etc...

...on that topic... I have asked the guy also if he's OK with me posting his contact info here, and I'm waiting for a reply. In the meantime, while I wait, I don't think there's anything wrong with following the link above and contacting him that way... ;)

On sizes and stuff: A re-wording of his description is that the part has a 1 1/2" I.D. inlet, and a 1 1/2" O.D. outlet, is about 7" long, and has about a 15 degree bend....

Yep, 'twas me that shot him a "tell me more" note. I told him folks here was interested and that his contact info (email addy) would most likely be posted.
He IS reachable thru the EBay link....so maybe thats how folks should approach him.....
Am interested (HIGHLY!) in your opinion of these re: quality of steel, fit and finish, etc...after you recieve yours.
