Looking to make an expansion chamber...

[Motor Boys]

I was wondering if anyone had any tips on fab.ing up a quick expansion chamber. I was thinking of buying one but not sure if it is what I am looking for .. So i want to make a little tester first and see where it takes me. Any tips would be great pic's would be outstanding.
Thanks

Ps I have a welder and everything i would need, just would like to try something new.

You might want to take a look at this thread > http://motorbicycling.com/f4/expansion-chamber-software-design-numbers-12490.html and if it doesn't help use the search feature, key word, 'expansion'. I think you'll find some very good information easily available.

they work. but just punching out the stock mufflers has worked well for me that is drilling holes not only the end caps but internaly ya the get loud no louder than the herd of harleys, bought a tuned from spookytooth, just to tight for my builds barely rubbed the front tire but did increase power, no more than opening the stock muff up the units that are high up against yer leg seem to get better reviews

Old 2 smoke tuner books usually have basic designs. Now there's software simulators but back in the day it was trial and error. It can be a lot of tuning work and you really want to have spare jets in different sizes! HuckerSteve likes his Sick Bikes ex chamber and his bike is rediculously fast!

there is nothing quick about it

Thanks for the help guys, just looking to see if they make a big difference.... do they?

 

[foureasy]

a bigger difference than anything else you can bolt on..... if done properly, it can create as much as 6psi of vacuum or pressure to "supercharge" the motor during a specific rpm range. but there is more to it than a longer header or holes in the stock pipe.

Thanks again, I have been checking out the links and I think , I may try it not much to do tomorrow.

What do you think of the chambers from spooky tooth ? Anyone out there using one?
Thanks

They literally "wake" your motor up. Take a look at this thread and follow the link.

I'm runnin' the SBP one (and I loves it ), but check this thread out: http://motorbicycling.com/f4/spooky-expansion-12731.html

RedB66 has one on his bike;

I've got one installed on my bike and I love the sound it produces. I took it on the Tampa Bay ride Saturday. It's the only pipe I've had on this bike so I don't really have a performance comparison...
