.... finished tacking up the exhaust for the wl today.... seems like the exhaust element of the build in recent years has taken on new meaning....everybody trying to out-do each other with new and innovative pipes and shapes...
...for mikes bike i just wanted a simple straight through design based on the original wl setup with...
...a little twist at the end. whilst ive seen this little duck around the rear frame downtube a few times before, i was blown away when i saw calebs SIKSIKA and this is a little nod to the beautiful exhaust design on that bike.
I stepped down the pipe diametre to 1 inch and 3/8ths from inch and a half.... after being around open pipes on so many old nortons and rudges i've learned that decreasing the pipe size adds a certain amount of back pressure and also (whilst still loud) will give the note a more crisp and un-fluttery sound....originally i was going for a tuned length twin pipe setup but decided against it when i started tacking up the front section....so, here's a two into one setup with a split under the foot peg.
