Custom Spaghetti System
(with low and high mount exhausts) |
|
|
|
Doug at ARC Fabrication built this custom, large-diameter, equal-length spaghetti system for my 900FE. Besides Doug's unbelieveable welds, he fabricated both low and high mount exhausts using sleeves from my Termignoni slipons (sound clips from dyno, below).

Of course, with the spaghetti's larger diameter headers, the inner perforated core of the slipons had to be cut out and enlarged - all in the name of performance! Take a look at the diameter of the opening of the exhaust endcaps. I can now FEEL - more than hear - the power pulses of the 900FE. It's magical.

Being a custom spaghetti system, Doug worked around the rear brake control rod and also gave me some room for my feet so they don't hit the exhaust cans (something that occurs even with the Termignoni high mount slipons).

Needless to say, with the spaghetti's headers tucked in, the ground clearance is phenomenal - no more worrying about scraping the headers at trackdays. And THAT SOUND! You can definitely tell that this is no ordinary 900FE =) .
Before the custom spaghetti's, the FE was making 82.1 hp and 68.5 ft-lbs torque. On a more recent dyno with the custom spaghetti's and with dual 41mm Keihin FCR's, the FE was making 85.8 hp and 75.1 ft-lbs torque. More importantly, with the spaghetti's/FCR's, the "brick wall" that the 2V engine hits after 7500 RPM was much less. Not too shabby for a non-SSie duc!

I had to leave the 900FE with Doug for a few days while he made the system, but it was worth the wait.
Doug at ARC Fabrication also does various other systems for 2V and 4V Duc's (see photos below). He can be reached via email HERE or at BCM Motorsports. Thanks again Doug for your wonderful work!
