Here's where the cans finish up.

Only pic I have at present but will take more when it's all bolted on properly. :D

Cans are quite small at 100mm diameter... . or is it the standard cans that are huge ? :shock: My Kawasaki header clamps came today & they fit so just waiting on gaskets now & I can fire it up. :twisted:
I discovered yesterday that my Ford CVH cylinder heads have exactly the same exhaust studs as my TRX ! :D :wink:
Didn´t you see in his add on ebay that it was a one off made for a trackbike??

:lol: You pay more attention than me mate. #-o Here's the text from the ad'.


a yamaha trx 850 race system

which was professionally made for race bike

unusual 2 into 4 into 2 system, designed to give max power

needs new sleeves fitting they cost 80 pounds

and could do with a repaint otherwise in good sound condition


That's solved it then, it's unique ! :D

:shock: Holy shhhhh.... . fitted the exhaust tonight, sounds like there are no silencers on at all. It's very very loud. :oops: I dare not even rev the engine as it was about 9pm when I'd finished & my garage joins my neighbours which joins his house which was probably shaking from the sound of the TRX on tick over. :lol:
Might have to re-pack the cans a bit looser or get some of those db killer wotsits or there will be a petition against me from everyone in my close. :evil:
I have also fitted new needle jets & a K&N filter so looking forward to my 1st ride out on it hopefully tomorrow. :D

You might even hear me. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Greenhill Racing i think. Extremely expensive high flow custom race pipe. The 2-4-2 design flows as much as an enormous diameter 2-2 does.

Blimey ! Cheers for the info youngy. :D It is very well made, looks like someone went to a lot of trouble & it fits perfectly which is unusual for something that is a "one off". I can imagine it would have cost a lot new but I didn't pay all that much for it.. . . which was nice. 8)
Just out of curiosity I will look these Greenhill racing geezers up then. :) Thanks again.

Very much so. I can get one local for about $2300 from memory. I'll build up a fuel injection and plenum setup from parts and probably use Megasquirt. But I haven't worked in a week and a half so very low priority at the moment. Then it's a toss up between doing that or getting the Mustang shell and starting on that.

I really like that exhaust that GB got. Not fussed on carbon though. I reckon brushed Al of Stainless would be the go for me. Does look ace but.

No excuses, I'm tight & it was cheap ! :lol: :lol:

Maybe I'm not seeing the full potential of this exhaust as the carb's are standard bar the factory pro tubes & I'm still running standard air box with K&N filter. I should at least try a dynojet kit but having another project on the go means time/money is always well stretched for me. The bike is winning over the car so far this year, I've just bought a pair of FZR600 foxeye front forks for it & a pair of pirelli dragon corsa pro evo super duper what ever the f**k they call them tyres. :? Having said that the bike still pulls strong right up to the red line. 8)

When the exhaust turned up the cans were painted mat black. 1 was ally & the other carbon but the seller included 2 new carbon tubes so I fitted them. I bought 2 oval cans from Brockzilla a few months back but they need a bit of cutting/welding to fit this system so not done anything yet. Sure they will look better than the stubby round ones just can't find time to fit them. :(

I've found the Dynajet kit v. difficult to setup properly - the FPs were easier but very suseptable to correct float height.
