If you love your bike, set it free.
If it comes back to you, you've
probably high-sided.

sexy for sure, I just did something similar to my ride. I used a M4 slip-on for an r6 and fabed the collector and shit, I'll take some photos and post them later. I guess the answer to your question is I have no idea, but if you know a guy who knows a guy w/ a wire welder it wasn't shit, just some head scratching.....and mucho grinding/polishing

WTF is that thing?

My first thought was "why would somebody put 3-spoke wheels on an S4?"

Then I saw the rear suspension hoop and got confused.

Then I noticed it wasn't a 4V motor.

Is that an ST3 engine?

Looks like it has air cooled heads and cylinders w/ 900ish beltcovers.

No oil cooler though.  ???

The radiator makes it hurt my brain though.  [bang]

I have no clue.

Radiator flavored oil cooler?

thats an ST2 motor, it will fit in the old style 851 frames no problem. ST3 have ugly heads and no fins i believe

My guess is that guy made his own pipe from a few sources...

Nothing special -- you get the idea and the parts and any muffler shop should be able to weld it up.

I'll second that, the next question is why would you want to do that?

Seems like a lot of work to make your bike uglier and net very little gain.

yeah so this took forever, but here it is. the cone is this http://www.indysuperbike.com/customer/product.php?productid=120050&cat=29290&page=1 I ordered polished but received black and polished the piece before fabing everything. a friend and I hacked up my stock headers and used the pieces to make the collector. it took around 10-12 hours plus a couple to polish the entire system. not sure if you are still interested, but I just got around to emptying my memory card and editing. I found this photo and remembered why I took it besides it's a great opportunity to pimp(the prostitute kind) my ride   peace
