Dual Exhaust Modification

[Snipet]

Hiya guys and girls,

I'm ready to get some comments stating how stupid I am, but I'm genuinely curious and unsure if its possible.

I've got a heavy case of OCD with things being symmetrical, and on my beloved GSX650F the exhaust is one sided.
Is it possible to make a modified dual exhaust?
Was thinking just keep the old one but make only 2 tubes go to it and make the other 2 go to a new one made for the left hand side.

Half of me is saying of course it would work, why wouldn't it.
But the other is saying it will mess up the running of the engine by altering the way the exhaust gasses are removed.

Any one able to shed any light on whether it would work or not. and details on why either way.

It'll work, whether or not you'll have to alter the fuelling to make it run correctly is another issue. If it bothers you that much why didn't you just buy a bike with an exhaust on either side like a TRX850/Honda SP2 etc?

I've wanted a GSX-R ever since I started riding, but funds for buying and insuring have not let me as yet.

Found a very nice GSX-F with-in my budget for both buying and insuring.
So went with that while I wait for more money and NCD.

Hehe fair enough, would probably cost me a fortune to buy tubing, get one mocked up, fitted, new exhaust for other side.

Probably more of a 'is it even possible thought' than a 'I have to do it' one.

On that 'is it even possible thought' though, if you dualled the exhaust after the catalytic converter would it actually change the running on the bike at all? as this is where the gasses are first collected.

Custom exhaust fabricator, my mate done this to a hornet and customer under £400 all in if I remember right

Custom made pipes and cans for it, he just altered the rear fairing himself and then sprayed it again

GSXR's only had 2 silencers as they couldn't get them quiet enough with one, must be the same for a lot of bikes, firestorms etc, twice the silencers, twice the silencing?

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

Anything is possible with enough money thrown at it, but its probably cheaper and easier to sort your OCD out

this may seem stupid but is there not a way to just hang a second exhaust and not actually connect it? just hang it so its symmetrical if thats what you really want. no need to change the fueling or mess around with the current system. seems stupid to me aswell. but i'm quite happy with it looking unsymmetrical with 1 exhaust.

If you're really OCD, you'll need a chain and sprockets on both sides, too.

Why didn't you just buy a ZZR600?

Twin Can
Similar bike to the GSXF in every way

except it's more powerful, better looking, less tax (599cc bracket instead of 600cc+), probably cheaper to insure too.
