The Design:
Ceramic Coating
All F.A.I.C. systems come ceramic coated, inside and out. Two options are currently avialable: Satin Black or Tech Line Coatings, Inc. CERMAKROME TM, polished metallic ceramic coating. The coating not only functions as an excellent thermal barrier, but the polished near chrome appearance, will not blue like chrome. The chrome finish includes ceramic coating inside to prevent blueing on the outside. CERMAKROMETM will withstand exhaust gas temperatures over 1500f. All coatings provide excellent corrosion protection. Great sound/Great appearance!
Charge Enhancers
These units located at the top of the pipe, reduce the amount of exhaust contamination that can be pulled back into the incoming fuel charge during valve overlap. After a piston reaches top dead center on the exhaust stroke the intake valve is already beginning to open and the exhaust valve has not shut. This allows exhaust gasses to be drawn back into the combustion chamber as the piston moves down the bore and begins to draw a new fuel charge in. The Charge Enhancers limit the ability of exhaust gasses to flow back into the combustion chamber. The result is a cleaner air fuel mix that burns more efficiently, producing more low end power and enhancing fuel consumption. A Crisper throttle response from off idle to about 1/3 throttle results.
Stepped Primary Tubes
By increasing the tube diameter from the port we can accelerate exhaust gas velocity without reducing low end power. Most systems are a compromise between small diameter pipes for good low end and large diameter pipes for good top end. A step header gives you the best of both worlds. The initial pulse is contained in the small primary tube while it is very hot and moving rapidly, the expansion into a larger tube, allows the greater volume of exhaust that is experienced during high RPM's to flow without the restriction experienced in a smaller tube. A smoother and crisper throttle response with more torque is the result.
Forced Air Induction Cone
The cone is designed in such a way that during idle, air is actually drawn into the cone, not expelled from it. When a vehicle is in motion the "Ram" effect created by the motorcycle's movement through the air, forces additional air into the cone, where it is compressed and expelled behind the pipes just after it enters the collector. This rapidly moving cold air stream creates a vacuum effect, known as a "negative pressure void" that accelerates the exhaust flow. Thus enhancing scavenging and increasing top end Horse Power.
Internal Merge Collector
The use of an internal merge collector reduces turbulence, voids and improves aero dynamic flow. This not only helps exhaust flow but allows for easier tuning adjustments. The merge collector is designed to increase flow and velocity, which increases the scavenging effect of spent gasses. The merge collector allows faster expulsion of spent gases and faster expulsion = FASTER PROPULSION.
Free Flowing Muffler Body with Venturi Tube
The standard system includes a muffler body with one ceramic coated Venturi tube, 2 1/2" size. These venturis make it possible to fine tune the system for maximum torque and power for each motor's individual characteristics. "The Big Pipe" includes the Quiet Core and cone plug.
Cone Plug
The Cone Plug is used during tuning to achieve proper air/fuel ratio mixture while tuning a gas analyzer, so as not to upset the proper mixture by contaminating with too much oxygen. After tuning, the plug is removed (The plug may stay in after tuning for a slightly quieter exhaust note, but this is not recommended.).
Quiet Core Muffler Insert
2 Disk 3" CC Insert muffler. Ceramic coated. For a quieter exhaust note than the Performance Core. $49.95.
