Exhaust project; any thoughts was created by KZCool
Im always looking for new cool looks for my bike. i was bored at work one day and came up with the idea for exhaust that ran along the rear fender and tire. Came out looking pretty good i thought. I just had the stock megaphone style muflers before. I also made some inserts to toneit done a bit and add back pressure. It has a real deep mean sound especially when you get on it on the road.

That's one way to do an undertail exhaust. Whats the i.d. of the tubing you used, how did you mount it and how did you baffle it? More pics are needed. The millipede comment was spot on, if the tubing had a bunch of little legs

In the eye of the beholder…
Please this is just my personal opinion only…. I believe any mods need to look like they were “meant to beâ€
I like it, its very unique although I feel your exhaust style would be better suited on something like the custom style pictured below…
It would blend in very well and look like it was “meant to be†and probably would have enhanced the overall appearance as well… shame he didn’t see yours first.
………Just my personal opinion…

I used 1.5 since it was the only thing that would fit through everything. i had made the baffles ealier for mods on the stock one, but it just a 1" pipe that I bent sections into the pipe itseslf. looks just like something you would buy online. I think I should have been moere pacient and taken the time to put flat blck paint on them. they wouldnt be so "Millipedey" lol. as for mounting, i did some carppy welding that i ground down so it doesnt look too bad.
