That awsome CHiP's sound

I am pretty sure i am going to get a vance and hines sidewinder pipe. But i dunno, i was watching season 1 of CHiP's. I fell in love with the sound of john and ponch's bikes. Now i want my z1 to sound like that. The pipes on there bikes were just stock pipes right? Were can i find a set.......Ebay?

yep...eBay. The source of most things Kawasaki.

What kind or year pipes should i be looking for?
kz 1000?

Reproduction 4-4 exhaust are extremely expensive ~ $1500...

May or may not fit KZ900...

Can be also mounted to the KZ1000A+B models.

You might want to also think about a Kerker for the sound effects on those old shows were deceiving. Nothing better in sound than a Kerker...

KZ900 / 1000 Kawasaki
KZ1000 J/K/M/ELR, GPz1100 1981-82

They had the stock police bikes, so stock pipes. A stock KZ900 system even though 4 into 4 would sound similar. The funny thing was the first episodes of chips, they dubbed in Harley sound for the Kawasaki police bikes. I thought this so stupid. Hopefully this is not the episode you were watching, trust me you don't want your KZ to sound that way.:laugh:

Those Foley Board guys can get pretty creative. :laugh:

thats the sound of the transmission and driveline you were hearing !:laugh:

So my stock z1 4 into 4 pipes i have hanging in my garage collecting dust, would sound simmlar?

May scroll down and select different bike sounds.

It's interesting to google "motorcycle sounds" and see all the many different sites and videos available.

You do realize that all the sound on TV shows is dubbed in by the foley artist?

I've seen film shown of an exciting car chase without the roaring engine and tire burning effects and it has pretty much no sound at all.
