An Exhaust System That Looks Like a Boom Box
In 1983 when California sprint car racers needed a solution to noise issues at numerous racetracks around America, there were various attempts to try and silence the race cars, and it was discovered that the problem stemmed from the exhaust system. A gentleman by the name of Ray Flugger, with over 26-plus years of exhaust designing experience, was working out of his 800 ft.˛ barn in Kenwood, California, from where he created flowmaster's first patent design of racing silencers. Flowmaster sounds can be heard on numerous racetracks around America and worldwide today because of his ingenuity and fine ear for sounds and tuned exhaust systems. Ray attached carrying handles to the square-shaped, race mufflers to carry them through the pits, and the mufflers eventually became known as the suitcase muffler. Exhaust systems from this manufacturer started to spring up all over of the racing circuit. Due to their innovation and years of development with top, race-engine builders, motorcycle manufacturers and aftermarket suppliers now marketed these exhaust systems due to the thousands of hours of Dyno research in "real-world" on-track testing. Vanceandhines exhaust systems is another manufacturer that have been building performance exhaust systems for 25 plus years and their motorcycle exhaust systems are used by many competitors as well. Their high-performance technology is something you may want to consider for your own machine. They pioneered the sport bike exhaust market with the SS2R and the S4 systems. They changed the cruiser market with the 220°, full-coverage, heat-shield technology. This race-inspired, pro-pipe HS continues to set the standard for performance and sound with a 2-into-1-exhaust system! New technologies continue to come into the motorcycle exhaust arena, including proprietary power chamber technologies. This is an amazing equalizer for the traditional 2-into-2-drag pipe, people say all you have to do is twist the throttle and you'll feel the difference.
