I think your on to something. I think MDT50 needs to call DMC or send them a email with that pic, and see if he can get a new pipe!
I agree. No matter what cylinder he is running, (240 or not) Dmc shoud warranty there product. In reality it shouldn't matter what size the expansion chamber is for it to blow out like that. You can run a strait pipe from it and it wont blow out, you would only have a odd powerband if any at all..
Well the one thing I got from this is, When a Fat Bastard goes on a diet,,, He busts his belt buckle..
Surely contact Dmc because they are a reputable pipe manufacturer and as far as I know, there is no disclaimer on using it with a 240 cylinder etc. any expansion chamber on any cc bike shouldn't blow out like that. that's not the way it works.

You're right, It shouldnt have blown out like that lol! Im kind of glad it did though then i wouldnt know what im missing out on. Aside from the the blow out the rest of the system is nice quality. Guess i found out i like my pipes a little loose rather than too tight. Lol!I agree. No matter what cylinder he is running, (240 or not) Dmc shoud warranty there product.

A vitos Fat bastard is made for a 240 and they are actually hard to come by. Nothing against Dmc as they are also a good pipe but from what I hear are more for low/mid but otherwise an excellent exhaust. Probably one of the best if not the best for low to mid rpm range. It is odd to see it blew out like that.. There good quality..
I would take it if you want to donate it.. ill pay for shipping... I would love to try that Vito's also iif you ever want to sell it let me know....

Since I've heard such good things about the fat bastard I will be running that.
Score! Lol! They are a bit loud....crackly, raspy...love it. The power delivery is smooth too....enjoy!
You are correct about the dmc.....very strong low mid hit.....I think i stinks that vitos doesnt sell the fat bastard anymore......its even hard to get replacement silencers if need be.A vitos Fat bastard is made for a 240 and they are actually hard to come by.

Quick question, I noticed before that most if not all pipes have a coupler where the silencer meets the pipe. My fat bastard doesn't have one. I didn't know if the fat bastard doesn't need one or if mine just doesn't have one. I was going to order an eBay silicone one but noticed that are rated to 500 degrees. Is that enough or do I need to find something different that would be rated for higher temps?
Do you mean an O ring? Im sorry but can you be more specific like maybe a pic or something? All expansion chambers that I know of use a flange that bolts to the cylinder and the expansion chamber fits into the flange and is held by a spring. A pic would help allot.
Yes I was talking about the pipe-silencer connection. I was just going to buy an eBay silicone one in the size I need but didn't know if I needed something made out of a different material rated for higher than 500 degrees or if that is enough.
I know a lot just use heater hose. If you had a full service auto parts or such, chunk of hydrolic hose.
you guys mean @BlasterFun484 ?? he sells the colorful connectors and frame end caps
any piece rated to 500 degrees is enough.
i used a special size turbo connection for my LRD pipe

Mike, ..... Yes 500 deg minimum rating. 1" tubing. Or i can send you what ever you want ready to go.
