have you considered using a gp-style can?  aftermarket header of your choice, leo vince mids, and a gp-style canister from sato or another company.

Here's one w/a wet clutch.

try running over a pot hole.

sure...
but as my post stated, i was referring to the possibility of it happening when leaned over, while cornering.

although i suppose its possible to hit a pot hole while tilted waaaay over.........
yuck

still have a hard time seeing clearance issues...





dont think it hangs down more than the stock udder...

He said he wanted to lower it earlier. you cant touch the udder while leaned over (ive went down and slide my bike and the udder is fine lol) besides if your hitting a pothole while tilted over like that, i doubt a dent in the udder is on the top of the list.

someone mentioned GP pipes. I remember posts not to long ago talking about some for sale.

Based upon sound clips, these are what you are looking for.

EDIT: or these

I have to say, I do like the sound of the system above.
But now seeing some other high mount "gp" style systems (Like the one below), I think I am going to go that route.
Need to source a aftermarket headerpipe, midpipe, and then have my chassis shop buddy put it all together with some
small "GP" style mufflers. Will me as loud as the system above but exit behind me (rather then right next to me)..

So, What Header and Midpipe should I go with ? I want to go big (55mm?), and anyone know of some smaller mufflers that dont cost $250 a crack ?

that thing looks make the beast with two backsing AWESOME!!!!

Ive never liked any exhuast more than the exboxs and this thing. But i cant get over the connection with the udder. it should have its own header so you dont see that 2 in 1 thing.

someone had posted this in the tech section

http://www.pjengineering.co.uk/index.asp



thought is would help this thread too.

i pulled off my pipes on my 08 s2r1k and i luv the sound 

but eventually i wana do a 2-1 leo pipes ( i luved the sound of my leos on my old bike,plus it still keeps the wheel open) but alas im a poor ...so for the moment im having some friends help me construct some tips for the end of the utter so then it will keep the wheel open...plus i was thinking of coating the utter and pipe black so there kinda consealed....

I sprayed my udder black and wrapped the headpipe in black exhaust wrap (for the time being):
Makes it look allot better, and helps it blend into the bike (if thats possibile)...

Those little "GP" style cans run $250 a pop ! Then add the mid pipe and header and you
have yourself a $1000 exhaust system that might or might not work with the stock ECU.

My vote is for "might not".  I ran the udder open for a few months and had the obvious backfire and loss of mileage issues you're bound to have when you dramatically change the back flow like that. 

Isn't the video Raux posted of a DMF member's bike? I remember seeing the thread but it's been a few months.  The more I listen to the exbox, the more I think I'd rather go with a setup like that where it's basically a straight pipe setup with a decent amount of baffling on the ends.  The exbox is hot as hell, it just sounds clicky and tinny by comparison.

As far as the mid pipes go, you should be able to find someone local to build you a set on the cheap.  They may not bolt directly to the headers but rather press fit into the stock header pipes, but no one should charge more than a few hundred for that kind of thing.

FWIW, i ran my s2r1k for most of the first 6k with nothing but the udder. i did not experience any of the issues that you describe. only reason i switched to the ex-box was it was just too loud for my taste.
