Sparks Exhaust

[Chino886]

Alright Pappy, I just saw 300exrida's rossier, that looks awesome. Do you have any pics of Sparks pipe that you have done? I am skeptical of what it would look like the the Spark emblem on there.

Thanks

[Pappy]

no ive never done a sparks, it would prolly look pretty good

how much would it cost to get the can and pipe done? I don't know what color, the rest of is stock with red on the a-arms and swingarm. What would you suggest?

[Pappy]

a coated headpipe (ceramic) and polished would run around $85

if its black i think its a bit less.


the can would run $30 + shipping for any solid color you want.

I will try to get it off the bike and to you when I figure out what color I want. Do I need to take the can all apart, if so, it might take a little longer to figure that out. I also don't have the tools to do it.

you can send it complete, add $12 for the labor and $25 for new packing.

Don't worry John, I was going to ask Pappy if he could do it in Baron red, but texture it, I want it to match the swing arm and A-arms, then I was going to PC the frame and subframe maybe black.

How much for you to shorten it a bit? (If you would) I don't like the way it sticks out past the grab bar.

[Pappy]

they do offer a textured red, wrinkle red i believe.

it will be close in color to the other parts you have.

i havent shortened one in awhile, but it can be done if needed.

Hey Pappy, when I sell these shocks, I will pack it up to you for PC, repacked, and shortened.

Hey Pappy,

Shocks sold! :)

How much to PC Sparks pipe (stealth black), repack, and shorten 2"? Do you think 2" is going to be real noticeable in db level? What about performance wise?

[Pappy]

a few inches shouldnt make a big difference.

to coat the can, $25 and new packing should be roughly $18

I shortened my Sparks X-4 Turndown on my 300ex by 2" to clear my rear grab bar. It didn't make any real noticable difference on the dB level (my god thay already run in the 110-112 range at 50% rpm, lol)

Ahh.. gotcha. Know right where that's at.
