Is there any manufacturers of lake pipes in the U.K who make the traditional long skinny type but with incorporated silencers? I'd love a set with the triple ends like the ones pictured in this post. but i want them functioning as I want to do away with my full exhaust stystem.
First off, the triples have 2 fake outlets, they will not flow exhaust if you hook them up. So it will look weird if you do! You can use regular motorcycle straight pipe baffles in pipes, but with the curved inlets and outlets, you'll have trouble installing them. I don't know of ANY manufacturer who makes lakers with inserts in them, BTW. If you really want this to work, I'd recommend bending up some stainless tubing (1 3/4" is the proper size, NOT 2") welding on 2 extra outlets, and inserting the baffles before doing the bends, or cutting, inserting and welding them back together. Lots of work, though!
Yeah, I knew two of the outlets are just decoration, but to be honest I hadn't thought it would look weird if they were hooked up and only one outlet was in operation, but you're right, it would look odd. I was thinking of making my own, exactly as you described, i'm a decent welder and have the equipment ( apart from a pipe bender) so I'm sure I'd have no problem making a set, i was just wondering if there was any available before I go to the trouble. Thanks for the help though.

You don't even need a pipe bender, it would look better if you used mandrel bends, readily available in stainless.
Oh right, i hadn't thought of that. I didn't know you could buy such a thing. You learn a new thing every day
