Hey Ernie!
Which exhaust did you decide on (the one in the pic) and who did you order it from. Also, where on the engine does the muffler support brace attach?
Thanks!

I got it from Tiger at A-1, down your way in Santa Ana. It's the merged 1 5/8", Sidewinder set up mentioned in the above posts. After the high temp. paint job, my next step is to put it back in it's box and ship it to Pat Downs at CB Performance. He's building me what he calls an "IM style" 2110 motor.
The rear tab on the muffler welds to #1 exhaust flange on the heater box.

Thanks for the heads-up! I went to A-1 Muffler this last weekend and talked with Tiger - pretty nice guy and very knowledgeable. The appearance of his shop is also very neat, organized and professional looking, which is encouraging from a quality stand-point.
Anyway, this week I'm having an exhaust similar to yours installed at A-1 with a center-exit chromed oval tip (j-pipes to be flanged). Should look and sound pretty cool without being too obnoxious.
I'll post pics and maybe a video (sound reference) by this weekend!
Peace - Out!

All Right Jim!
Thanks for the report on Tiger's shop. I'll be looking forward to the sight & sound of your new set-up.
I'm also interested in that "chromed oval tip" that you mentioned. That is the look I had planned on for later this spring when I get mine back together.

Roger That!
fyi: i have a cb2110 in my im. just turned 30,000. only oil changes and valve adjustments. still running great. no problems.
Well that's great to hear jordan! Thanks a million!
Spoke to Pat at CB just today: my (shipped last week) exhaust kit has not arrived at their shop yet. I'm assured that my motor's construction will begin as soon as it arrives. No Spring rush delays (I hope) for me! Upon arrival at CB, it looks like about 7 weeks before I get it.... I'll be more than ready!

I had that exhaust installed in my car (A-1 sidewinder with center exit)- looks and sounds great (throaty sound and not obnoxiously loud)!
I will post pics and video (sound/loudness reference) this weekend if I can get my frigging computer back up (crashed yesterday).
Peace - Out!

10-4 Jim!
Ernie - here are some pics of the exhaust for ground clearance reference!
P.S. - I stayed with the painted black tip for a more retro look, but a chrome tip would look good as well!

Finally got my computer up and running after a little tune-up.
Anyway, here is a short clip of the exhaust that Tiger of A-1 Performance Muffler put on my car. It's the same set-up you have in your picture. The sound is not the best quality (still using a Malibu Barbie camera with a 256MB card), but it should give some reference as to the sound of the exhaust. Also did a pretty good job of blowing some kitty litter out of my oil drip pan.
I have a pretty basic set-up; 1835cc with dual Kadrons, so I'm sure that your CB engine (bigger cc and webber carbs) will sound different, but I think you'll get the idea. It's a throaty sound under acceleration but a nice mellow tone when cruising.
There's a scary moment at the end of the clip so brace yourself!!

Sounds good Jimbo, but keep that peeper away from that car, he gave the creeps!

Sounds and looks good Jim....
Did you have that intruder arrested?
The thing that really gets to me though is the shorts and tee shirt. Yesterday, we got all the way up to 54* in the Sac. valley. Since this was the warmest day in weeks, I did take a 30 minute spin in the speedy. However, it took about 5 layers of sweat shirts and jackets to get the job done. Still it was sweet!

Cool sound, cool car, but the tape needs some editing. There was something really scary going on at the end.
Barber do a drive-by there, Jim?
Heeyyy, don't say I didn't warn you guys about the scary bit at the end of that clip! With THAT mug, I was getting SHOT AT by both sides of the war in Nam!! Good thing I was a medic!! Now you know why anytime I've been pulled over by the cops, when they see me with my wife Ginny, the cops ALWAYS ask her if she's OK! Obviously they'd never seen 'Beauty and the Beast'!
Cory - I think our barbers went to the same barber school (not that you really need any kind of training or skill to achieve the look of my haircut!).
Ernie - glad you had a chance to go for a cruise the other day. Hope you can make it to the Paso meet in April meet so we can check out your Speedy with the new engine!
Peace - Out!
