    Cobra Exhaust Tuning Recommendation.

    No worries, sorry to hear about the house-fire..... Sounds like you have plenty to keep you busy now..... I really like those new Dale Walker 2 into 2 pipes, like the look of the stock pipes also..... Thanks for the reply, Ride Safe......

    Cobra Exhaust Tuning Recommendation.

    Nice looking bike, guessing you are talking about a Dale Walker Holeshot exhaust system, which system did you install, the new 2 into 2 slip-ons system or maybe one of the older 4/1 systems? Did you have to make any additional modifications along with the exhaust install?

    Nice looking bike FM...... Never had that problem with super-models myself, sadly...... Not knocking anyone or anyone's motorcycle, we are all individuals, Vmax Gen1 is probably one of the worlds most individual, most customised motorcycles, the bike that brings us all together from all...

    People buy different motorcycles for all sorts of reasons....... People buy different exhausts for all sorts of reasons...... If you want big horsepower in 2020, you would not be looking at buying a Gen1 VMax....... The reality is the Gen1 Vmax has the approximate straight line performance of...

    Cobra Exhaust Tuning Recommendation.

    If you take the time to read the threads, you will see that there are examples including a well respected member on this site, of stock Gen1 Vmax running four separate slip-ons with original front headers (Not Cobras), that are running equivalent and better 1/4 mile times and speeds as a stock...

    Cobra Exhaust HP Loss Explained, Please?

    Forget about the false claims from the Haters/Bashers they are not accurate and totally irrelevant, what is important are the facts..... I think we can both agree that any Hater/Basher claims north of a 15 RWHP loss is fantasy-land..... I think we can both agree that any HP loss from the...

    Cobra Exhaust Tuning Recommendation.

    The VMax is an old school, old fashioned muscle/cruiser with unique hot-rod/retro styling, in 1984 it was also right up there as a competitive high performance bike, today not any more..... The VMax is one of the most, enduring, endearing and customized motorcycles ever built. As VMax...

    Cobra Exhaust HP Loss Explained, Please?

    G`day VMaxximum, Very good post, enjoyed reading it and agree with your comments.... First up, care needs to be given here that apples are being compared to apples, the Cobras are a low end, budget slip on exhaust using the original Yamaha front headers, it is not a full performance exhaust...

    Cobra Exhaust Tuning Recommendation.

    There are many Cobra 4/4 Haters/Bashers around, often quoting power losses of 15 BHP to 30 BHP. There are many Vmaxxers that like the look/design/sound of the Cobras but are negatively influenced by such large power loss claims and the herd mentality. Why not challenge the herd mentality and...

    Cobra Exhaust HP Loss Explained, Please?

    Many Thanks Julian, glad you enjoyed my VMax version, hardly any two Dynos are the same and very expensive to hire also just to get a "number", had much more fun testing it out at the Dragstrip for one night, I know now it is very close to stock performance even with the clutch slipping slightly...
