Want to do something with the exhaust

[Turbo329]

If you guys look at these pics, you can tell that after 4 years of ownership, the exhaust is turning this ugly copper-ish color.

I know Chroming is kind of 1999 but what should I do with this exhaust to give it some life again?

In the bigger pic you can see what an eye sore it is from the side view.

Go and but some silver tarnish remover at the hardware store and try that. Try it in a hidden place first.

Cooks Headers in L.I. (they do turbo manifolds and race car stuff, but can do bikes too) they can make you a full Ti system.....then it will turn that purpleish after some hard thrashing. Sweet..........

Nice!

Full Titanium system for the the MV costs:

$4,200 for MotoCorse full system
$7,200 for MV Agusta Factory full system

So if they can beat those prices I might be interested.


Thanks for the replies everyone.

I thought about doing this as well.

Here's a pic posted on Speedzilla of a guy who jet hot coated his exhaust black.

I'm not really a fan though. It looks 'rattle-canned'.

If you put a carbon heat shield on the down pipe it would look sexy

Here's what I decided to do this winter....

MV Corse offers an Exhaust Tip kit with titanium treatment.

ARROW Cat-less midpipe which saves 6lbs and increases HP by about 4-5hp.

**MV Corse offers a Titanium Mid Pipe for about $450. That's another option

Then I will send out my rear shock to get a correct spring built for it.

Other options is a PCIII and a BMC air filter.

..will also have the fork/shock oils replaced this winter.

Here's a side by side comparison of a friends bike which was a 1000R model that came standard with the titanium treated tips. It was night and day.
