Title: Exhaust header pipes
Post by Ruttly on 05/22/16 at 13:13:24

Does everyone use the stock chrome header pipe ? Or does somebody make aftermarket header pipes for the savage ? Besides what Ryca sells .

not quite sure, as I didn't research too deep when I was hunting alternative shorty exhausts, but I think the Suzuki DR650SE header is the same as the Savage LS650 S40 ...

You could check out FMF ... but again, not quite sure

I sliced mine up and removed the inner pipe and had a guy TIG it together. Not sure if it helped or hurt. If you go with that, be careful about how you slice it up. You want to create a Puzzle that readily assembles the way it was assembled, so the thing is all pointed the same way.

I don't think the DR will fit but like you I am not quite sure.
Where have all my memories gone ? ? ?   :

I got a 1.75" OD header from Super Thumper that I covered with Heat Wrap.  May not be as pretty as chrome, but highly functional ...

the DR650SE has a BUNCH of bends in it, I was thinking like a welder/fabricator ... chop cut rebuild welder up ...

I "think" the flange and clamp might work, need the ID/OD measurements and the bolt C/L measurements ...

or chop your OEM off and weld up to your crazy straw exhaust ...

OR fab up one of these -

I bought a system on fleabay with a 2" o.d. header and a long muffler but it has no markings or numbers on it. Cut the muffler to fit the tracker I'm building rebuilt the baffle & packed it with fiber glass matting , had it bead blasted and then painted it flat black. Turned out pretty good , looks great !
I was just wondering what others are using and what is available for my next project. Going to build another savage after I finish couple other bikes.

Doesn't Raask make a header for this engine?

Title: Re: Exhaust header pipes

I don't know but I will check on that , Thanks

They look good, they're light, and you get discount coupons for hearing aids.

Title: Re: Exhaust header pipes
Post by Ruttly on 05/22/16 at 20:27:31

Raask is very nice but pricey. Wonder if they just sell the header pipe alone!

The Raask is reported to be very loud by a few folks who have one, or have heard one in person.

maybe an inexpensive, beat up eBay purchase hacked up from an 05-09 SUZUKI BOULEVARD S50 ???

Year doesn't matter......1986 - 2016 is the same.

On the S50 series ???

Woops......didn't read the whole thing again?

Are your aware that the chrome part of the Suzuki Savage pipe is not what the exhaust travels through.....there is an inner pipe about 1-1/4" diameter that is inside the chrome pipe (inner and outer pipe).  You can't just cut the pipe and re-weld it into a different shape...unless you only use the inner pipe which is not pretty.

I am not sure if the same inner/outer pipe method is used on the S50.

Think I paid $120 for it. It was new used but not new,had a chipped up black chrome ceramic coating and was marked savage 650 from one of those online cycle salvage places. Was a direct bolt on for the savage. Looked good on a savage but too long for a street tracker.

yeah Dave, once you cut that baby up it all falls apart inside and outside. so you basically have 2 systems, one that functions and one that is cosmetic.

Which is interesting, didn't someone around here take a grinder/dremel to their exhaust outlet on the head ???

Yes....there is a very restrictive aluminum donut at the exit of the exhaust port.  Some of that can be cut away....a little bit for a stock engine, and a bit more for a modified engine.

Already ported head for that pipe & carb , hope to start it in the next couple of weeks if work slows down a bit !

Title: Re: Exhaust header pipes
Post by Kris01 on 05/23/16 at 18:11:32

A muffler shop could easily bend a pipe and make you a header. It wouldn't be pretty but it would be functional. If you were going to wrap it in exhaust wrap anyway...  ;)
