86 HRC style L side 4-1 exhuast

Hello everyone first time posting here just bought an 86 VFR running with 20,000 miles for $800 now I am dead set on doing my Fred Merkel replica I have leads on the swaps four wheels but I am in need of the HRC style left side 4 into 1 exhaust got to have it half to have it no matter what that being said I am a working guy and understand that I cannot afford an HRC pipe so I'm sure this has been covered before many times here but does anybody have any leads on how to fabricate or a list of Fabricators anyone anyhow anyway that can get me an exhaust for my bike any lead or help is greatly appreciated and thank you so much in advance

 

i'll be making one eventually, a welder by profession but bending pipe the old fashioned sand filled way is new!

it would be even more expensive then the HRC original to have someone custom make it i assume...few thousand at least.
what is the going rate for a 4-1 single side HRC exhaust if i might ask?

 

WELCOME, and good work keeping these old crates goin !

Fred Merkel's '86 HRC exhaust was hand-fabricated and combined about 40 pieces welded together with factory precision. not likely to find one for less than the cost of a new Ford Mustang.

it was one or two specialist guys at the factory building them and probably took 5-7 days to complete ! if you ever saw one, you'd think it belonged in a museum!~

 

How about a Hindle Exhaust instead?

Hindle exhausts in collaboration with http://www.ripplerockracers.com/ are initiating the 1st production run of a new full 4-2-1 exhausts for the early VFR's. Two variants will be available - a high mount and low mount, both of which are right exit. Price is ~$800 USD.

 

The Stainless system is AVAILABLE NOW for about $1000 in STAINLESS STEEL.

Contact https://www.ripplerockracers.com/ for details and options (Carbon fiber, ceramic coating etc)

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

good to see a high mount shown as that is what I have coming for mine, well in a titanium 14" should sound wicked
