First post, turbo build, not new to power (have a Gen 1)

Welcome! Lookin good.

looks awesome! why twin dump pipes? just for looks? also you said you were doing a twin exhaust? i reckon singles the go, i miss the sound of a 4 into 1. For me if i were turboing i'd have an exhaust too so that it looks more stock than just a short pipe out of the Turbo, keeps the cops at bay if it looks stock where im from. Will be following your progress

Twin dump is for looks, yes. The dual exhaust is what I like about the Busa. Without it imo, it looks odd. More progress coming soon!!

I am not worried about police, as I live in a city that everything is modified!

A friend of mine. He does fab, custom framing, full restorations, pretty much anything.

Here are some more progress pics. V band shown as well. Working on the y section right now and the other side of the exhaust.

It replaces the stock radiator hose.

Correct! Since adding the bigger filter, I wanted a hose that could go around it. And why not do something cool.

Actually, the pass side wanted to have sensor located in a different spot and have different as well.

If you continue on like that your going to need a headlight copnversion so you can run it as a naked bike
Very nice work

 

[GNBRETT]

well, he has some serious welding skills. my buddy is as good as it gets and builds tube chassis race cars and waterer else u can think of and those welds are about as good as his. he certainly didn't take any short cuts makn them pipes. works of art imo.

Very nice work

Actually, I dislike naked bikes. Although the piping is hidden, some of it can be seen through the farings. The dual exhaust and v bands will be seen np also.

My bud does full restorations rotisserie, custom frames, you name it. He is very patient too!

 

[upgradedbusa]

Updated pic. Test fitting again. Will put the wide band in the pipe as well. Not sure exactly where just yet. The fuel pressure gauge is just hanging for now in case someone is wondering. :0

Yes, very nice, clean top notch! Whatever you do, don't choke that set up with those stock cans . . .

 

[upgradedbusa]

Thanks folks!

I'm using stock cans (gutted) and having custom flanges water jetted.

I am going for a subtle but mean look. Low key..ish. Lol

 

[nosbig]

All that great work and you are going to put those ugly *** stock cans (IMO) back on.

 

[RedBusarider]

Stock cans - I can just see it now, someone rolls up and looks over and thinks it's a stock bike and then their jaw
drops as you blow them away
