DWMS RACING CB550F SUPER REVERSE PORT! NEW ENGINE COLORS AND PHOTOS!

Re: "77 Honda CB550Four SUPER REVERSE PORT By DWMS Racing

I set the engine in the frame cradle so that I can start getting the measurements for the exhaust and the frame bars. I got this Yoshimura exhaust can from a friend and started sanding it today to get it ready for polishing.

I have a couple of different ideas for a header so I started building the first one to see what it would look like. This is just the tubing and I still need to weld the collars to the front and build a collector for the rear. I may add a bend two thirds of the way down as I feel it needs a little more shape.

I am also thinking about building another header designed with more bends and the pipes stacked at the end to see what it would look like. The header will not be red that is just the color of the tubing I am using.

Damn this is cool. That's thinking outside of the box!! This is fun to watch.

Brother Joey. Glad to see so much progress here. This bike will be super sick. And yeah, you need four pipes exiting under the tail! Keep it up my south bama bro!
 
Re: "77 Honda CB550Four SUPER REVERSE PORT By DWMS Racing

since you cut it down that much... just make a new frame from scratch.

i would make the motor a stressed member... would give you PLENTY of room for carbies, and will look fucking AMAZING. IMHO

As much as I like curves in tubes, I like the "fuck you" part of those, just not sure if the sweet of the rest works with the bitter.

Brothers thank you for all of your input! I thought about four pipes exiting from the tail and that would look and sound tough! I may still go that route!

I love how nice and clean this header will look, my only issue with it is that when you look at it from the side it is kind of plain looking. Maybe I will bend the two middle tubes up and the two outer tubes down halfway back on the header and see if it will add a little shape to it. I will work on it some more and see what I can come up with!

This is not the angle that I am going to run the header at but it will give you an idea of what I am talking about.

looking good!
if im picturing it correctly in my head im totaly digging the pipes bent up and the others down.
and hell if you start getting into it you can do all sorts of complicated cool looking stuff lol
 
Re: "77 Honda CB550Four SUPER REVERSE PORT By DWMS Racing

I really did not think the first header fit the look I am going for so I started building a new design today!

I really like this header and it is the one I will be using!

wont the diff in tube length and bends affect the tune though per cylinder? (excuse my ignorance i hve no idea)
 
Re: "77 Honda CB550Four SUPER REVERSE PORT By DWMS Racing

i love it, it really looks great joe!

Yeah, could be an issue from what I understand too. A solution may be to exit 1-2 on the right, and 3-4 on the left, so they cross-over?

something like this:

bikeboy's routing would be amazing! plus it help give you tuning length.
 
Re: "77 Honda CB550Four SUPER REVERSE PORT By DWMS Racing SECOND HEADER DESIGN!

Thank you for the compliments Brothers!

After doing some research it seems that unequal length tubes help to improve the torque curve.

Brother Bikeboy that is a very nice header design as well!

Here is another pic!
