Exhaust

[Roger]

Hello,
I'm writing you from France and I'd like to know if anybody could help me to find "special exhaust" for my new 2014 Valkyrie ?
I asked Cobra, RushRacing, V&H and many more but...
Regards

[Pete]

Perhaps if you were more clear on what you are asking for, someone would reply.

[Roger]

Ok.
So I've got a brand new Valkyrie F6c and I wanna install a perform exhaust on this bike but Cobra, RushRacind and V&H don't make any product like this.
if somebody could help me to find exhausts parts for the Valkyrie ?

I think you're going to have to be patient. Corbin is finally offering a seat, I've been waiting on mine to show up for three
weeks now... they say they'll have some bags in a month or so... it shouldn't be hard for Cobra to
offer some pipes, since they have F6B ones that people like already, have you emailed them and
asked them?

Someone makes some for the F6B don't know if they would work or not.

[Roger]

Thank's. I'll wait... the F6b exhausts doesn't fit to F6c ; absolutly not the same OEM. I asked to specialist

[mrtappan]

I was waiting on an answer to that.  I had my suspicions the F6B exhaust wouldn't fit.  Guess I'll play the waiting game too.

[barney fife]

Roger, I think you are plenty clear.  I am waiting for Ultimate to come out with a seat.  Tried to find a front tire to fit the Valkyrie?  Looks like the after market people are pretty slow in coming out with stuff for the bike or maybe thats the way it always is with new models.

I will go out on a Limb here and say that most Exhaust enhancements found today will only give you an increase in Noise.
Gone are the days when there were several companies offering Exhaust upgrades. I have a 1999 Valk Interstate and I was fortunate to obtain a set of Viking Performance Exhaust when they were still making them.
You might check with Torq Loopz to see if they will offer anything.  I will add a link to an installation on a Gold Wing so that you may see what they are...    Good luck with your search....

Thank's Big Tom ; I asked to Jimmy from Torq Master Pipe. But he told me that the Valkyrie F6c exhaust're not the same than for the Goldwing or F6b (smallest exhaust for the Valkyrie)
Perhaps'if I Don't find any products I'll try to install the Torq Loops and muffler but with some "modification or arrangement" !!!???

[mrtappan]

I'm betting one of the major manufacturers will come out with something.  Especially since it's the same engine and frame basically and all they have to do are change some external dimensions. 

I doubt any exhaust will produce a significant increase in power by itself.  That's why I want them to release a Power Commander for it too.  Since its a 50 state bike you know it runs leaner than it should.  I'm all about burning more gas and making more power.  Generally the Power Commanders have a fairly positive increase in power when used with a decent intake and exhaust especially on 50 state bikes. 

[Roger]

Yes of course, i agree when you say that exhaust don't bring more power, espacialy sensation.
I'm thinking to buy Torq Loops from'Torq Master Pipe and Black Cobra Exhaust for F6b and Goldwing but I've to know what are the modification first to fit to the Valkyrie ?
If I'll'do it, I'll told you

[mrtappan]

I've been looking for a stock set up F6B pipes to try.  So far no luck........

[jimmytee]

Every once in awhile, some stock pipes go on sale here.

I , for one, would keep mine though when I decide to change the exhaust.

[Roger]

Jimmytee, I'm sorry but I don't understand what do you exactly mean (I'm French) ; perhaps you're thinking I'm'searching for some F6b exhaust ?
And I've got the New 2014 Valkyrie F6c
By the way, i can't open the link you'd post

The link works for me. ??? I was responding to:

[mrtappan]

I also have a F6C but I am looking for F6B exhaust to test on the F6C.

I'm at a stand still now anyways as I'm tripling the size of my shop.  I'm busy packing up the old one and getting ready to move everything to the new one.  All my tools are packed up right now. 

I won't pay for a set of stock pipes myself.  Well not what people are asking for them.........

If someone has a stock set they don't want then I'll take them and begin testing.  If not then I'll play the waiting game and wait for a real aftermarket exhaust. 

[Flat6Fool]

I exchanged emails with Product Specialist Ryan Stroh at Rush Racing and he said they're looking at putting something in motion for the new Valk but he didnt' have a time frame to share of when that might be.   

Some info is better than nothing I suppose.

Has anyone thought about removing some of the baffles in the stock pipes?  I've thought about it, but want to hear what it sounded like in person before I went down that path.

[Roger]

Hello,

Today I just order Universal exhaust from BirshillAutomotive (GP1 modell) and the Torq Loops'from Torq Master Pipe ; but it need some "arrangement" ...
it'll take around 5 weeks to get this parts and I'll tell everybody

Regards

Roger, i'm French too, you can find the French VRCC here : http://loupsnoirs22.free.fr/vrcc2/html/
Even if nobody has still bought the new F6C in the French club, you can come to share your sensations!

The Cobra F6B exhaust cannot work on the F6C only because the mounting point is not in the same place for these two motorcycles. The binding point is more behind on the F6B.

So hi guys,

My bike's ready, i installed the TORQ LOOPS from Torq Master Pipe and also I asked to the mechanic man to make a hole onto the end of the "original exhaust' ; there's 1 open hole and 2 dummy hole at the end of the exhaust and He drilled 1 of the 2 dummy hole.
Now the sound is.........really good music !!!
Just let me a few days to post a video on YouTube

[Big Tom 10628]

Good work Roger...  Now for the technical questions...

Did you have to adapt them from another Model?

Did they mount up easily to your existing mufflers?

Do you have pictures of the install?

[Roger]

So Big Torn,

* the TORQ LOOPS's for the F6b or Goldwing
* the mechanic man told me that it was really easy to install this parts
* pictures : non 'cause it's invisible from the outside but you can see this parts on the website "torqmasterpipes.com"

And soon i"ll do a video

Hello,
I've heard that perhaps TAILGUNNER & VONBRAUN exhaust should make special exhaust for our bikes...
As I'm French, Citizen american people could ask to Vonbraun and Tailgunner if pipes're already ?

[Big Tom 10628]

Looks as though TailGunner makes only a Slip on.

[Big Tom 10628]

I don't see much help from Von Braun either. Nothing but HD on their site..

[Roger]

I had sent a mail to Taigunner and the answer was "we're thinking about it..."
