I saw online sometime ago that somone in Fla takes your stock pipes and modifies them, I saw some at the rallly in Johnson City and loved the sound. Does anyone know who it is? Thanks

there are several companies that do it. I used Mark T. Horseapple.com is the address.
His pipes are great quality and they have three different sound levels.

Thanks F6Rider, I just saw his website. Good to have a sound option, my Supertrapps are too loud

There are several vendors modifiying Valkyrie exhausts.  However, MarkT @ Horseapple Ranch is a VRCC sponsor and has been a part of the VRCC/Valkyrie community from the very start.  Give him a look, as he makes a great product. 

Support those who support our great community!

I had supertrapps header and exhaust on my 650 Maxim years ago.  Adding or subtracting discs was not to change the sound it was to tune the pipes.  For each application there is the "correct" number of discs, add some and you would have to change something else.  At least thats how I understood it.

RJ, your right, changing discs changes torque vs H.P.  I have all the discs in and it's still too loud. I'd like to hear the Horseaplle ranch pipes sometime and will call them soon.

Maybe I have this backwards but wouldn't ADDING discs decrease backpressure/increase noise and SUBTRACTING discs make more BP & less noise?

More discs= larger escape opening for exhaust gases?
Less discs= smaller escape opening for exhaust gases?

Aint that how they tune the exhaust??? ???

John,

I see you have the Organ Pipes inserted, with the left & right sides swapped, from the way I built them.  I never tried that.  Interesting.  I built them so the tubes described a pyramid.  I see your install inverted them.  Makes sense that would have that effect.

Bike looks good,  solo'd with the hardbags and the long pipes with Organ Pipes.  I'd like more pics if you get a chance to shoot some in a nice setting.
