i'm wanting to do the EXACT same thing.
couple questions:
- what software did you use to plot the expansion chambers?
- cut the sheet metal out by hand or laser jet?
- how did you roll them? slip roll?
- tack the whole thing up, then purge the inside and weld completely or weld each slice fully at a time?

If your girlfriend is hotter than this bike,,,you are one lucky man!!!
jBernard:
looking at this picture again and just gotta say that whoever fitted and welded that knows what they are doing. thats some seriously tight fitment. i've looked at dozens of cone pipes and that one looks top notch.

Software is Bimotion, and everything is handmade, no laser cutting, so no dxf files.
