Stainless exhaust

<< < (2/2)

Stainless or not, for the CB's they would have to be double skinned headers or it's a non starter for me.

When I bought my Benelli 750/6 some years ago, it had a stainless steel (six into six) exhaust fitted, together with a receipt for £1,750 in the document pack for it. At that time, Silentium's were not available (these were the original fit) although later on a new batch were made and I bought a set.

I was absolutely amazed at the weight of the stainless items when I removed them, I quite literally could hardly lift the full set ( I am 6'1 and was then around 15 stones). Fitting the Silentiums released a whole lot more performance (I had thought the bike a little flat, however as all of the mechanicals and electrics checked out OK and the reputation when new was for fairly lacklustre performance, had accepted that this was how it was) that I assume was down to the reduction in weight and, possibly, more suitable tuning of the standard exhausts to the engine.

I offered the stainless items for sale, with a warning of the weight and the buyer was equally astonished when he came to collect them at just how heavy they were.

For anyone considering stainless exhausts, I would check the weight against the originals first!

I'm guessing not stainless if chromed

K2-K6:
It's my fault,  got carried away with association of their pipes in stainless and didn't check. Would be good though given low usage some bikes get.

Nothing really to see here  ;D ;D

The Suzuki Kettle Delkevic system was chrome when I bought mine,only paid £500 for it at Stafford classic show in 2013 it was the one on display,a bargain indeed
