A little bit of formatting would help!
I got lost in some text and couldnt figure where I was again!

Try scouting for a simulator, that could save some time!

PS: Best of luck!

@ sunny thanks for approval.

This is the first finished piece i have created

Guys i seriously need your inputs.

Yes the demand is there. More and more people(thats me including) are demanding performance exhaust for their bikes to make them go as fast as possible. However clever marketing will be required to sell these exhaust as there are quiet a lot of established players KRP, Automech, Proton.......etc. If right pricing and clever & attractive designs with high tech materials is what you guys got, then go ahead. Let you guys know that i own a FZ16 and am looking for a exhaust system that is short and stubby.

SS Exhaust

This is a exhaust that I have built for my friend, its polished stainless steel not chrome.

looks good
But buildining exhaust for market require lot more things. We have to make flange and clamps and also the head connection.
Is the bending done on pipe bending machine?

Ya great job.......Atul told me about. I was gonna have him built one for me but then i had an accident and he went off to banglore.

I have tried making exhaust by this process but it is very expensive, no doubt pipe bending machine is expensive but its worth,
I am planning to buy a second hand CNC pipe bending machine.
Tomorrow i will post some pics of final product.

don't you already have an option in joel for your requirements

Yes there is demand but not in large, if you are very much looking forward to it. Are you going to produce exhausts as per each bikes demand?

Then I recommend you to first register a company and spread some workshops in important cities, advertise what you can do and concentrate on customers who come to you. Thats the best and safe start in my point of view, (if you are looking for fast profit and recognition). And then once you are getting branded, you can start your safe production.

Because if you are planning to start a plant you will need to concentrate on "No large scale production" till you establish your brand name. And if you are going to produce exhausts as per each bikes demand, it wouldn't be wise and practical, but not impossible. You would be a real head-turner from the Automech and KRP in that way, because If am right, I think they produce common exhausts and not in specific. And its a good and different choice, you will have an easy recognition from "already buyers" and "performance tuners". And thats not enough.
But think over that..

> [Itz higly time consuming, minimum profit flow with time and HIGHLY RISKY, because by then some bike manufacturers might have come with a new and better idea, so chances for aftermarket exhausts would be less.]

It would be a foolish idea, go for it only if the finance is from your savings.

You have another option if you are going for a plant,
demonstrate your talent and have a tie up with some bike manufacturing company. It will depend upon the output your exhaust give and the difference it makes from those they prefer and the time will depend upon the bond they hold.
(Chances are less for an outsider to have a tie up in exhaust manufacturing, but not impossible for the Right You.)

Hope you got some idea.

@ all thanks for inputs
I already have manufacturing licence so no issue in that and my close relative is into business of SS utensils so no issue of machines and plant. Yamunanagar is the well known city for manufacturing of SS utensils. I have all the required machines available with me Power press, TIG welding, Blanking press, lathe, milling and polishing setup for shining and mat finish.
As far as designing is concerned there is no particular literature available on how to design an exhaust, there are some calculators available on net for calculating diameter of pipes. But take my words best thing is to stick to the stock exhaust configuration and then tune it as per your requirement, if you will start from scratch it will take lots of time and effort, but in stock configuration you only have to control the over scavenging and back pressure.
What I have noticed from my experiments that length of bend pipe is one of the most critical things. One of the parameter you can measure is the escape velocity of exhaust cases it should be around 40ft/sec.
Personally I use flow simulation software for calculation before building anything in flesh. Some of the images of my previous hollow exhaust simulation.
Some pics of finished exhaust (final touching left). Sorry for bad picture quality, my office ends late so its always nignt when i click pics

$ 8000 and four stroke simulation software costs $
