I don't think this lad is angry or bored, he's being filmed and concentrating on doing a good job. Ok, the health & safety warlords are all over this video but the final product looks great. Where do Yoshimura, Akra and the rest find their £500+ price tags??
Believe that as much as you like, the truth is anyone can make an exhaust for racing, I have basic tools and a grinder and due to damaging my system I took it apart yesterday and two hours later I have a stubby de-cat cut down race zorst which sounds the biz and the bike now 'breathes' properly, the Akropvic zorst for my bike is pretty much a direct copy of its original kawasaki headers and an 'end can' straight through, this one is the same. I bet you have logos on all your clothes churned out in sweat shops in Indonesia, stop swallowing the bullshit corporate crap.
Years of research and development for N/A engines to have linear power bands. High rpm high compression engines with valve overlap take a lot of engineering and math to figure out what works..plus real world race testing. Any retard can slap together a pipe and can with fiberglass. Also my out of production rare yoshi duplex system was fully serviced for$70 or I could do it myself for $40 and purchase the parts directly from yoshi..great company and they have my respect for user serviceability and customer support. Other brands I have no idea but Yoshimura doesn't fuck around.
@@fornicateu2 Put your can on a dyno and then compare that to a proper built one.. its not always just marketing.. some are perfectly built to stop reversion and have proper flow.
this guys been doing it for a bit. good job man!! Not a wasted movement and he knows where all his tools are without even thinking about it. I do agree on the safety glasses though. wear em!!!! impressive!
Joven mis respetos , en mi rancho decimos que en la forma de agarrar el taco se mira al que es tragón y a Usted se le nota mucha seguridad en lo que está haciendo y mucha desision felicidades joven !!!
looks a nice clean workshop to be fair and how do all these people who comment think an exhaust is made lol, numpties who have no idea what it costs to run a business and if these come out at about £230 i think this is bloody good value for money. ps one going on my blade race bike
Reminds me of that scene from Schindler’s List when the old man shows how quick he can make a hinge, but only has a couple in a box for a days work ..lol
Nice! I really appreciate there is still some professional crafting alive in a private western company. And the price is not that bad! I might just place an order for my Honda X-11 soon and support european industry instead of chinese :)
This reminded me of the scene in the movie Schindler's List where the poor guy was told to make a hinge while the officer watched and timed him. (Schindler's List (5/9) Movie CLIP - A Small Pile of Hinges (1993) HD)
I really want to give this guy a big hug! In case you are wondering why? He's drilling towards his hand, no safety glasses, smelling all the welding fumes, fiber glass fiber flying all over place! OMG, I feel really bad for him :(((((((((((((((((((((((
There is a reason Akrapovic and Yoshimura don't show you how their exhausts are made.....they don't want you to know you are paying £700 for a 10 minute job + sticker.
Yes and no, these pieces have not been made by the kid, I do not say that the margins are not high but there are many more costs than 10 minutes of assembly
H&S could be better (Don't mock; it's his eyes not mine) but what a skilled worker. Wasn't sure what exhaust to buy but watching this, my KTM is defo getter a Pipe Werx exhaust. Great job.
WOW , he's got a boiler suit on ! Good man.....check out Bills Pipes MX2 works pipe video.... engineering bad boy No.1 when it comes to basic safety awarness
Drag a stick, drag feed the filler rod and chase it with a tig, always work a mig forward unless your doing overhead on flat substrate hot gas rises, flux cloud lifts upward so pulling away from the puddle deprives the weld from its protective shield, requiring you to crank up the regulator and blow a bunch of argon into the shop. I know you were just tacking but I wanted to put that out there, it's good advice.
Looks very high quality and not a single broken pop rivet (floating around inside the can) in sight! DO YOU HEAR ME AKRAPOVIC!! Excellent workmanship from the lad, and of course we have to almost commend his employers (for his training)! 👍🏻 And I get it, wearing safety glasses at first is horrible but they may very well safe your sight one day, and save your employer a heavy fine (especially now you’ve broadcast the lack of safety in the factory/shop)!
muito legal o video e muito bom o serviço parabéns pessoal , agora Dá uma ponteira desta pra mim .... por favor pra eu colocar no meu quadriciclo ou no kart cross
The technician should definitely be wearing eye protection, especially with the steel swarf flying when drilling the rivet holes! A cutting oil should be used to prolong the tool life and promote a cleaner hole, so there is no need to wiggle that drill after the hole has been drilled, causing it to become elliptical.
dat downhand mig doe and are the rivets because of cutting costs or because of style? I'd think the former since most people like the look of a tig weld?
dunno about him drilling but i only have 2 eye balls and like looking at things that's why i protect them ive only had swarf in eye once ( still dunno how ) and not again thanks
Great flow. V surprised that he's not wearing eye protection though. We had that drilled into us when I was an apprentice. And that was WAY back in the day.
Nice job. The guy knows what he is doing. Can't say too much for the choice of materials. Seems like the tape he used to hold in the baffle material would burn up in 10 of use. (ha-ha). Have you seen this done in a Chinese factory? They are much faster.
I have a muffler brand and would love to have someone like this kid to make some mufflers. Bringing stuff from China is a fuckin pain in the ass. They make good stuff but it's very exhausting to import stuff here in my country.
If you can produce your mufflers from sheet metal and tubing available in your country you might do well, but you will need a shop to design, make and repair production tooling. Almost every production shop outsources because investing in laser cutters and other expensive equipment isn't profitable unless you run it frequently enough to pay it off. Sheet metal can be sheared then deburred by hand. Old style punch presses can form your end caps but will need custom tooling for each part. (My professional machinist bro does muffler tooling but not design, so I got to see how it's done. ) Design your product using available resources. For a small shop programmable plasma cutters may be affordable. The Practical Machinist forums are an outstanding resource.
