In the words of that great New Mexican philosopher, Jesse Pinkman: “Science, bitches!” It governs every aspect of our lives – and especially the most crucial aspect of those lives, motorcycle exhausts.

But science can be confusing. Few of us are scientists, so that confusion is understandable. Such is the nature of ‘science”. We have lawyers to explain laws to us, so we need scientists to explain science to us.

Terms like “negative wave reflection”, “header”, flange”, “vortex”, and “titanium” can cause eyes to glaze and indigestion to occur in sensitive tummies.

Relax. I got this. You will now be able to shop for your next SC-Project exhaust system with confidence, cloaked in knowledge – and we all know knowledge is power. And power is the best cloak there is.

Headers

This is the part of the exhaust system which bolts to your engine. They are named after what happens to you if they fall off, ie. You will do a header over the handlebars and hit the road with your face. Specifically, and coincidentally, the headers bolt to the part of your engine called the “head”. Science is full of such coincidences, which is an effect known as “kismet”.

Intriguingly, you will have as many headers as you have engine cylinders. It’s an easy way to remember how many cylinders you have in case you’re asked. Count the number of headers. Be at ease. You will not ever have to count higher than six. Unless you buy an eight-cylinder motorcycle. Then the number of the counting will be eight.

Titanium

First discovered in 1791 by William Gregor, all Titanium comes originally from the Titan, which is Saturn’s biggest moon. How it got to earth, and how it is found in all living things, is written in the Bible, specifically in the Book of Titus (which is what the early Christians called Titanium). In Titus 1:15, the purity of Titanium is discussed: “To the pure, all things are pure, like Titanium, which is beautifully pure, and light, and is excellent in motorcycle exhaust systems. Amen.”

Titanium has a magnificent strength-to-weight ratio, like a Ducati Panigale made from carbon fibre. It is shiny, and as resistant to corrosion as both Platinum and Kryptonite. It’s crap at conducting electricity, so they don’t use it in batteries, and it will melt at 1650 Celcius, so they don’t sell it in Darwin.

Can

This is the technical term for the fat, rounded bit where the beautiful noise comes out. It’s commonly agreed that SC-Project makes the sexiest cans. They have been dubbed “sex-cannons” for obvious reasons. The mere sight of them causes arousal in both males and females. That arousal is exponentially heightened when the cans are in use. And, predictably, the higher you rev your bike, the higher the arousal level. It’s like sorcery, but it’s actually science. So be aware and only use this power for good. If you use it for evil, on your head be it, you sinner, you.

NEGATIVE WAVE REFLECTION (NFR)

NFR occurs naturally in only two places in the universe. The first is when you look at yourself in the mirror after a big night out, and see your face all covered in stripper body-glitter, your wallet is empty, your girlfriend has left you, and you smell like a chimpanzee.

The second is when the exhaust valves (small metallic clicky things) in your engine begin to open and send a pulse of exhaust pressure into that cylinder’s header, and that pulse then travels along the header until it reaches a wider point (usually where the sex-cannon joins the header), and voila! The NFR begins and sends itself back into the engine! It’s very exciting.

And this is where the length of your header becomes very important. I know you were thinking that length is not important. It is. In everything. Jail-time, beard, marriage, beer… everything. So the length of your header is designed to make sure that NFR arrives in the engine just as the valves overlap. It’s that wonderful instant when the exhaust vales have not yet closed, and the intakes have just begun to open like flowers in the sun. Then more science stuff happens, which has no bearing on your enjoyment of the resultant symphony that occurs. I’m only telling you this so you don’t take a hacksaw to your headers because you think they’re too long.

EXHAUST VORTEX

A vortex is a rapidly spinning accumulation of something. Air, water, jelly, cats, and of course, exhaust gasses, which is what we’re dealing with here. Exhaust vortexes occur rarely, but most commonly when you’re pulling a four-gear minger and being showered in female undergarments. The vortex occurs when the exhaust gasses exit your sex-cannon and hit the road instead of the air.

They hit the road because your front wheel is pointing at the sky and your exhaust pipe is pointing at the road. And this is happening when you’re progressing in a forward direction at about 180km/h.

This confluence of vectors (directional things) causes a swirling effect to take place upon the exhaust gasses. If your bike is running too rich, or needs new rings, and blowing smoke, you’ll be able to see this swirling effect. It is very beautiful, so take a minute to enjoy it.

EXHAUST FLANGE

A wondrous metal sculpture that looks a bit like an eye. It is normally used to secure the header to the engine. The very best ones are made from titanium or stainless steel. But I have seen them made from old beer cans, fencing wire, and lead fishing sinkers beaten flat with a hammer. The smart money tends to steer towards the stainless and titanium jobbies, but if your headers have fallen off 200km west of Coober Pedy, you’re gonna do what you’re gonna do.

EXHAUST GASKET

These are important flat things, which are intended to sit between the exhaust flange and the engine hole where the header enters, like a bull into a cow. Their purpose is to ensure the exhaust gasses continue their exciting journey along the header, rather than leak into the atmosphere where the header joins the head.

These gaskets can be made of steel, or some high-temperature fibre material, like Weet Bix. They can also be made from graphite, but you will need a lot of pencils and some good glue, like Tarzan’s Grip. And, happily, you can make them from ceramic composites, which you can get after you smash your toilet bowl up. Some gaskets are made from a combination of these materials, so you can be inventive.

DECIBELS

This is the scientific term for just how much of stuff is coming out of your sex-cannon. The uncultured call that stuff “noise”, the cultured call it “a glorious symphony of orchestral majesty”. The term “decibel” is used to measure how much of that is happening.

In Australia, the legal decibel reading for a bike is 96Db. Which is as loud as the noise your girlfriend makes when you come home smashed off your face. So it’s quite acceptable.

Purists, tattooed men, gunfighters, and most motorcyclists feel that anything under 180Db is soul-crushing, but are forced to comply with state regulations due to threats of savage violence from state organs. Which is worrying on several levels. Clearly, the louder a beautiful sound is, the more beautiful that sound is. Bruce Springsteen sounds best when played through concert speakers six stories high and hooked up to a nuclear reactor. Everyone knows that.

It therefore follows that the more decibels your beautiful-sounding motorcycle makes, the more people will derive joy and happiness from it. If only the government would see this, the world would be a much nicer place.

This is an extraordinary feat, considering there are tens of thousands of Australian sports podcasts about massive sports like AFL, Rugby League, cricket, and all the rest of that sweat, competitive stuff Australians love.

Coincidentally, MotoPG has also just published its 50th episode.

Hosted by three vaguely unhinged but very informed lunatics, MotoPG began as a MotoGP-focussed podcast, but has expanded to cover all aspects of motorcycle racing and motorcycling life in general.

It brings together the experience and knowledge of racing insiders, Freido Marquez and Tug McClutchin, along with the much loved (and sometimes despised by boring people) author, motorcycle reviewer, and social commentator, Boris Mihailovic. The result is a sweary, highly informative, and absolutely hilarious hour-and-a-bit of free entertainment.

It has been likened to the famous Top Gear TV series, but the hosts shrug that comparison off. “We’re not a visual money-fest of car-porn,” Boris Mihailovic explained. “We go to places and say things about stuff Top Gear would never dare to do. And we’re about bikes. And the BBC can’t sack us. And Clarkson has no tattoos and can’t fight.”

“People often ask us how we write the show,” said host Tug McClutchin, “But we don’t write anything. We start with a list of topics we want to talk about, and then we drink lots of beer, go into the studio, and mercilessly take the piss out of absolutely everyone. And then other shit flows from there.”

Boris explained: “Our producer cries because he thinks we’ll get sued. That’s really funny, seeing him cry. We give him tissues and tell him to relax. It’s satire. We are still governed by broadcast laws, but we are allowed to be funny. But he still cries because he’s a bitch.”

“But the success of the show has surprised us,” Tug said. “What started as an idea for a bit of fun has turned into a worldwide smash. We even outrate the official MotoGP podcasts in most countries, and we crush them in Australia.”

When asked why people love the show so much, Freido Marquez was quite frank.

“Allora, yes, people like, yes? But please help me, someone! These two, they keep me here and no let me go home to my family. I do this so my family knows I am alive. This Australia is crazy! You have spiders want to eat me, fat dogs run in front of bikes and kill me, and you Carabinieri are very bad tempers. Help me! Please. Is not funny.”

Boris has been around the motorcycling publishing game longer than just about anyone, and is quite pragmatic about the success. “None of us knew anything about podcasts when this started. We figured we’d do three episodes, fail, then drink lots of beer and laugh about it. We certainly never thought we’d do 50 of them. But it quickly became obvious that doing a podcast can be just like sitting in the shed or in the pub with your mates, getting drunk, and talking about bikes and all kinds of other loose and hilarious shit we find interesting. That’s why it works. Motorcyclists no longer have any entertainment that speaks to them in their language. The few bike mags that are left are badly-written boredom incarnate, as are the dreadful YouTube clips the remaining motorcycle non-journos keep producing.
Motorcycle riders like us because we sound just like them, only smarter and sexier.”

There is a vast train-load of reasons for you to buy a top-shelf exhaust system like one of these SC-Project jobbies.

And you know perfectly well what they are, but just in case you’ve stuck your fingers in your ears and are making “LALALALA!” excuse-and-denial noises because you were breast-fed well into your teenage years, let me list some of them for you.

Weight reduction. This is simple science.

Things that weigh less are heaps sexier. It’s why people go on diets and eat horrible stuff like kale.

Things that weigh less go heaps faster. You ever seen a fat cheetah?

Things that weigh less will handle better – and in terms of motorcycles, this is pretty important. Let’s face it, you’re not Marc Marquez and you won’t be saving any of those front-end washouts with your elbow.

Then there’s the durability aspect. SC-Project exhausts are not made by aliens in spaceships orbiting the earth, but they could be, because only the highest-grade materials are used in their construction. And a bit of sorcery.

The carbon-fibre has not been diluted by fibreglass to make production go further. There’s no skimping or cutting corners here. Go pick an SC-Project pipe up and fondle it. It’s 100 per cent pure, like your innermost desires.

The titanium used is the same aeronautical grade titanium employed in the manufacture of fighter jets, and the stainless steel is that high-end AISI 304 stuff which looks to be made from forever.

Then there’s the self-satisfied smirk factor. All the SC-Project road-legal pipes fall well within all the government noise guidelines, but still offer a deeper and more arousing exhaust-note that may well carpet your progression with damp panties, or cause your attractive pillion to bite you on the neck with unbridled lust.

None of this will save your life, will it? Of course not.

“But a loud exhaust pipe will!” I hear you cry, and then I see you buying one of SC-Projects crazy-good race pipes, and turning the full heavy-metal sex-orchestra up to Ten.

Yeah, well that won’t save your life either. It will possibly get you defected off the road, so that may prolong your existence – which will be miserable – but it will not save your life, because loud pipes do not save lives, and never have.

It’s just a lie. And you need to stop believing it.

You riding better and smarter is the only thing that will save your life.

But…but…all those Loud Pipes Save Lives patches and T-shirts…are they wrong?

Yes, they are. This is a lie that has been promulgated since the mid-80s, predominantly by Harley riders. I know this because I was one of those Harley riders, and I was telling everyone who would listen (mainly other Harley riders) that it’s a no-brainer that shatteringly loud pipes are a safety benefit on the road because car drivers will hear them, and thus be aware a bike is approaching, and thus maybe not pull out in front of me.

I had even managed to convince myself this was the case, and I remember having several such impassioned conversations with various Highway Patrol officers who were busily writing me out a defect notice, and smiling while I lectured them on the obvious safety benefits of straight-through shotgun pipes.

My Harley sounded like the Germans shelling Stalingrad. How could car-drivers not hear it and thus be aware of me?

It’s Always Been Bullshit

Simple, really. It was all nonsense. It was, in fact, a myth we Harley riders created to justify our love for the sound of our unmuffled bikes. We loved the raucous hammering cacophony those heavy-flywheeled, push-rod driven V-twins made. It made the pretty girls swoon, it notified publicans of our imminent arrival, and it made us feel like the outlaws we were.

But non-Harley riders were also into this bullshit too.

Any big in-line Jap four back then was sporting a race-can that screamed big-decibel hate and fury at the world, and made the rider feel like there was a podium to stand on at the end of the ride.

Hell, there wasn’t a Ducati on the road in those days that didn’t have pipes that sounded like rapid-fire artillery rounds.

So apart from maybe those weird, silent BMW boxer riders, the rest of the motorcycle fraternity all got on board the loud-pipe thing – and justified it to the world by saying it was really all about safety.

But it had nothing to do with safety, and everything to do with us being red-eyed hooligans who loved loud bikes. The safety crap we pissed on about was a usually pointless attempt by us to not get defected by the cops each time they pulled us over.

So it was a lie back in the 80s, it is an even bigger lie now. And I will tell you why.

Cars have become increasingly more sound-proofed as the years have gone by. It is, in fact, a big selling point of many models, especially the luxury brands who pride themselves on having tomb-silent interiors where the only sound the driver can hear are Mozart’s Violin Concerto No. 5, or his stockbroker’s breathless advice.

It is simply not possible for the driver to hear your loud pipes unless he is sitting directly behind you at a set of lights and you’re revving your bike – in which case, he may choose to ram you precisely because you have loud pipes.

But if he’s sitting at an intersection and you’re hammering your way across his intended turn-path, he is not going to hear you.

Physics has my back on this. Light travels faster than sound, right? So he will, if he looks, see you before he hears you – especially given your pipes are facing away from your direction of travel.

The presumptive safety myth kicks in right here. What if he doesn’t look? Then surely he will hear my glorious thunder from afar and not pull out in front of me, right?

And then he does pull out, and then you hit him, and even though it’s the driver’s fault, you’re the one in the ambulance on your way to meet a bone surgeon.

Why Did the T-shirt Lie?

How did it all go wrong? How could he not have heard you?

The actual question you need to ask yourself, and you will when you’re re-learning to walk, is why did you assume he would hear you?

Oh yeah, that’s right. Because Loud Pipes Save Lives! It said so on that bloke’s T-shirt and his girlfriend’s vest-patch. And T-shirts and patches are never wrong.

Well, they certainly are in this case.

Loud pipes have never saved anyone’s life. They may have made you feel like Thor, caused much tutt-tutting from more conservative members of our society (one of the great benefits of such pipes, I feel), and provided you and your like-minded mates with tonnes of aural pleasure. But they have never contributed a single thing to preserving your life on the road.

What keeps you alive on the road is your skill as a rider. Your hyper-awareness of every situation, your anticipation of what that car might do, or what the road-surface may be like, is what stands between you and the bone-saw. Nothing else.

I remember having a conversation some years ago with a mate who was an ambulance driver. He also rode a bike, and we were both lamenting the obvious blindness and apparent deafness of car drivers who pull out in front of us as we ride along.

It was he who initially shot down the myth of loud pipes saving lives.

“Mate,” he said to me with a grin. “You know that’s just bullshit, don’t you?”

“Oh, come on,” I replied. “Surely a loud exhaust helps the blind bastards to be aware of a motorcycle.”

My mate laughed. “I drive an ambulance,” he said. “With all my lights and sirens on, they still don’t see or hear me and pull out in front of me. I hit one the other day. You know what he said?”

“What?”

“He said he didn’t hear me or see me. So if he cannot hear my sirens, what chance have we got of him hearing our exhaust notes?”

It’s All on You, Not Your Pipe

I went home that day and thought long and hard on what he’d said, and at the end of it all, I had to admit he was right. Car drivers genuinely do not see or hear us, and there is a mass of science to back that up. Car drivers are not trained to look out for bikes, and so they don’t. We may as well be invisible, and if you’re not riding as if you are invisible, then more fool you.

So if the driver literally cannot see you – and he’s really not looking anyway – then what are the chances he’s going to hear you, associate whatever vague sound might be getting through his sound-proofed, music-filled car interior with an oncoming bike, and not pull out in front of you because of that?

Yep, pretty much zero chance.

So let us put a stake through the heart of this vampire-like myth once and for all.

By all means fit the beautiful, melodic, and even race-loud SC-Project pipes to your bike – and you should and you must because the song of our people is a gorgeous vibe.

And it’s not just the gorgeous aural vibe – because I don’t care how good the pipe sounds if it looks like crap. The SC-Project assault on your senses is multi-faceted – it will not only sound brilliant; it will look the whole sex-cannon, panties-off-ladies business too.

The double-whammy, as it were.

And yes, you’ve reduced weight. And yes, you’re conforming with government noise compliance. And yes, your SC-Project pipe will last longer than your bike.

But no matter how loud it is, it’s not going to save your life. That’s entirely on you.

I have always been a strange and cursed thing. A creature driven by base emotions and primitive pleasures – pleasures which other people do not see as pleasures at all. Rather, they behold what makes me happy, and wonder how I managed to escape from whatever lunatic-minding facility was dumb enough to leave the door unlocked.

Let me give you an example. Some years ago, a magazine I wrote for was given an MV Agusta to review – a very special MV Agusta.

Only 300 of them existed, and one of them, Number 187 from memory, found its way into the hands of this magazine’s editor, the redoubtable Ken Wootton.

Ken called me an hour after he got it. It was Friday afternoon, and in the magazine business, Friday afternoon was not an afternoon when editors called other editors to discuss anything more complex than which pub they were going to.
“Come down to the garage,” Ken said. “I have something to show you.”

“Are you going to take your pants off again?” I sighed. “That’s getting kinda old, and the lighting does not flatter Mr Happy the way you imagine it does.”

MONEY TO BE MADE

The small picture here is that I bought a cheap fake watch. The larger picture is that I was one of many thousands who have done the same, and thus continued the prosperity of the fake industry.

An industry, which you can guess, is huge. How huge? According to Forbes, in 2018, counterfeit goods were the largest criminal enterprise in the world – far bigger than drugs and human trafficking – earning $1.7 trillion for the copy-cats. It is also estimated this will grow to some $2.8 trillion by 2022 and cost more than 5.4 million jobs.

The people who buy counterfeit goods can usually be placed into two camps. There are the folks who don’t care that it is counterfeit. They are brand-whores, don’t think fakes are really all that much of a problem, and simply cannot resist, say, an SC-Project exhaust for $50. And unlike my watch-buying self, they will never tell anyone they bought a counterfeit exhaust.

ARE THE ADR BEING SHOWN UP BY THE REST OF THE WORLD?

In Australia, all aftermarket exhausts must comply with ADR 83/00. Interestingly, this regulation is entirely devoted only to how much noise the exhaust makes.

SC-Project exhausts go much further in terms of simple compliance with ADR 83/00. All its road exhausts comply with the much more stringent emission, homologation (and noise) regulations that make up the Euro 4 and now Euro 5 suite of regulations.

You’ve all doubtlessly heard of the Euro 5 regulations, the intent of which is to govern emissions. The entire bike industry is on-board with this because polar bears are crucial, ice caps are important, and there are few downsides to having cleaner air to breathe.

The issue of motorcycle exhausts in relation to Euro 5 regulations, Euro 4 (and Euro 3) which came before) was dealt with by a regulation within a regulation, called ECE R41.

This was a wide-reaching regulation which dealt with emissions as well as noise, and its advent caused Australian regulators some confusion – because they have always been all about the noise, and not so much about the emissions.

So, rather than adopting ECE R41 in its entirety – emissions included – the Federal Department Of Blissful Silence decided it would cherry-pick only the noise bits for compliance and drafted Australia’s own ADR 83/00.

The European Union, whose only contact with Australians is when strange monolingual people turn up to meetings they were not invited to in Avis rental cars and cheap suits, went on with its business and updated ECE R41. It is now known as Regulation EU 143/2014, and is the most stringent set of parameters concerning motorcycle exhausts developed thus far.

SC-PROJECT: WORLDS LEADING MOTORCYCLE EXHAUST FACTORY

Being good corporate and global citizens, the world’s leading motorcycle exhaust manufacturers, of which SC-Project is the biggest, if you discount Akrapovic which also does exhausts for cars, immediately began manufacturing its exhausts to comply with Regulation EU 143/2014, in exactly the same way as it complied with the former ECE R41. So every exhaust system SC-Project makes, greatly exceeds the rather limited regulatory scope of ADR 83/00.
