Outer Duplex
Drag Cyclone<\/p>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

A world of enjoying non-existent Yoshimura products
It’s a combination, so there’s no extreme awesomeness

Hehe
Actually, it’s different.

As I always say
“Customization should be done at a custom shop”

We’re not a custom shop<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n
\n

I’ll temporarily fix it and think about it.<\/p>\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

Front or back or… raising or lowering
This is a world of preference and subjectivity

It’s better not to leave it to someone with different preferences
I think.

The most free time
No matter what
If you can’t physically layout
You need to be careful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n
\n

I’ll cut it with a metal saw<\/p>\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

Lately, even high-speed cutting machines
seem to have chip saws
If it cuts cleanly
That works too

Metal saws are essential though~<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>

I’ll expand the pipe with an expander
<\/p>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I’ll expand it to fit the insertion of the collector section.

Since it’s a split type, if you shift the position while expanding
You can do it nicely.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n



<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>

It’s really about the tools
That’s when I think.<\/p>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The benefit of saving time and doing it cleanly
is very significant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>

For now
hand pulse.<\/p>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I still can’t get the positioner set out
…
I don’t have many opportunities to do muffler work
either.
With just the collector side and one angle piece
I managed to make it work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n
\n

Since it’s mine, I’ll go aggressive.<\/p>\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

I’ll make a bracket…
But it’s getting a bit tedious.
Mine isn’t good~<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>

I’ll reuse the remains from the removed Yoshimura
<\/p>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Basically not a very good mounting
As much as possible
If you can support it with a wider surface
It’s less likely to break and repairs are easier too

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>

All done!<\/p>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The stock muffler is also a megaphone
While adding an original feel
It’s complete (*\u00b4\u03c9\uff40*)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n
\n

Just the right balance \u266a<\/p>\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

Since I’m an old guy, I’m not good at aggressive angles
I prefer the tail line plus a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>

Since it’s JMCA
Safe sound level!<\/p>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Hmm, mild \u266a
It’s good in a peaceful world<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>

I’ll remove the plate
and repaint it.<\/p>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Didn’t take 2 hours…
Since it’s mine
I can go at it hard, which is a point

But still
Mine is the most fun.

After it’s done, I look at it
and “savor the afterglow”
That’s another pleasure (*\u00b4\u03c9\uff40*)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
