  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

2008 SMR Exhaust

Raceordie

Husqvarna
B Class
I'm sure that there have been many posts concerning this matter, but i do think i have a few valid questions.
1: Will an 09' tc/te full exhaust system fit the 08' smr510. I think that they are essentially the same dimensions for fitment, but i wanted to know if anyone has tried this.
2: I know that allot of these exhaust are tuned specifically for the application..i.e. MX/Enduro where they are looking to produce specific power/torque gains for specific rpm ranges. Which would be best for a supermoto application, i'm guessing tc due to the higher rpm increases in power over an enduro set up.
3: What is the point of the dual exhaust for the SMR application. I guess what i'm looking for is whether or not there is some specific reason that the Smotos are running the duals. Would performance outweigh the added weight, is there some type of pulse change that helps the duals scavenge more exhaust.....there must be a better explaination to this than just the look cool factor/marketing for parts when you thrash both sides.

Any help with this would be great. I'm currently in contact with Leo Vince about these questions and i'll post up my finding once someone calls back.

Thanks,
 
The reason for alot of the racers using duals is simply noise regs', using duals allows you to get the flow rate while remaining within the ever increasing noise regulations at the majority of tracks.
I personally switched to duals from a single for a couple of reasons, I prefer the look and I also like the sound they produce compared to a single race can
 
I was recently reading about this same topic over on SMJ and some racing guys were converting duels to singles for weight savings. But like Dave said, noise reg's may be an issue. The duels look mean for sure. I'd like to hear them. My stock '04 can is stamped "closed course use only" pretty gnarly loud, but I like it. How did that slip by as street legal when they produced this bike?
 
SH500AF said he gained about 6hp going from an aftermarket MX single exhaust to duals on his '06 450RR. Dont know what brand of single exhaust was used, but I think the duals were Devil brand.
 
That is not true ^^
When talking about full exhausts only, 08-10 450/510 are all interchangeable.
