Custom Gen 5 highmount exhaust

persing66 · 05-08-2009, 10:59 PM

I wasn't sure if I wanted to go left side mount or high mound but high mount seemed to be easier and in case anything went wrong I am still able to switch back to my stock pipe. I started by taking the bike to a local exhaust shop to have them bend a 2" stainless pipe since I have no way of bending stainless exhaust pipe. When I got home I started looking for cans online, as I was walking around our shop I saw a submersible well pump they are stainless steel and are about 3 7/8" round that is the second and third picture also inside a pump are impellers that actually push the water up the pipe so I used there covers for my end covers I just bored them out to 2 inch. I set up the exhaust and welded a piece of 1/4" stainless right where the stock exhaust mounts I used the spacers from my center stand as spacers for the exhaust they were perfect. I put about 40 or so holes in the pipe then welded the end cap to the can and then to the pipe on the back side packed the can with fiberglass and screwed the other end cap on so I can still remove it and repack the can if needed. Let me know what you guys think.

Nice work! I like it and I am not usualy big on th ehigh mounts because i think they normaly make the tail section look even biger than it is but yours seems to fit with a smaller pipe and I like the plumbing on the way up! Good job! How about some sound clips and if posible dyno prints?

Looks good how does it sound?

vfrhusband · 05-10-2009, 10:20 AM

It sounds good. I fugure little brother's I-phone might be able to record it and he has a better chance of success than i do, but for one I think it turned out great from a bunch of scrap!

persing66 · 05-10-2009, 10:49 AM

thanks for the compliments and it is pretty loud but sounds awesome I'm trying to get some sound clips but can't find anything to take a digital sound clip, I have a digi-cam and an I phone but cannot figure how to get just a sound clip any ideas.

I'm sure you could use your Iphone to take a video of it and to upload it to You Tube...

persing66 · 05-10-2009, 06:34 PM

I posted a short vid on youtube not very good quality but will give you an idea of the sound YouTube - Honda Interceptor new exhaust

vfrhusband · 05-10-2009, 07:56 PM

SWEET... but it does sound better in person. I know you miss your gen 6, but your gen 5 is so more you!!!! getting more that way all the time.

CandyRedRC46 · 05-10-2009, 11:01 PM

OMFG it sounds like a top fuel dragster! lol

hondajt · 05-11-2009, 06:35 AM

How did they know how to bend the pipe correctly? My muffler shop wants me to make a mold of what it will look like. Out of flex pipe or something. It's annoying.

persing66 · 05-11-2009, 08:32 AM

Top fuel drag HA HA, Not quite that loud there are plenty of harley's out there that make my bike sound like a field mouse, that would be annoying JT, I actually stood there as they bent it and showed and told them bend by bend how I wanted it and it took maybe a half an hour, you should see if your exhaust shop would let you do that.

vfrhusband · 05-11-2009, 07:21 PM

I"m sure he sat there like they were operating on a family member!

persing66 · 05-17-2009, 09:28 PM

Just filled up for the second time since doing the exhaust and I went from 37mpg before the mod to 40mpg after

CandyRedRC46 · 05-18-2009, 06:17 PM

that's probably because its so loud, your babying it lol. being a good neighbour right?

persing66 · 05-19-2009, 11:23 PM

Always I'd never be one to drive down the street till I find some rice burner pile with nothing but a fart tip and purposely rev the bike to see if there dumb enough to try to challenge
