help!! alternative exhausts for ty175 anyone??
« on: February 05, 2009, 12:23:17 pm »
ok so my bro has been restoring a ty175 he had bought a while back now...it is almost complete..the original pipe for it was too corroded and too rusted to re-use.. and as it will be a regoed road bike our idea was to have another pipe made/fitted to better suit road speed and torque conditions.. i had linned up a fella rick roberts who built the exact thing i wanted back in the 80s and has built many chambers for me over the yrs ..but he is no longer able to do it...so i thought,,maybe something of similar size or port timming could be used..does anyone have any ideas. i asume that dt175 would be a pretty close match for the engine..but what about other stuff early yz125 or even 80cc stuff any info or help in this direction at all would be great as it is the only thing stopping the bike from completion thanks again

You would be hard pressed to find any other pipe to fit the TY except OEM, which are available on eBay and other places. They were never much good at highway speeds anyway if you need to be cruising at 100-120km/h I would suggest buying another bike but they do go good between 60-90km/h.

Here's a muffler to make it sound good...

I have an English vintage trials and motocross magazine here with an article on an exhaust for the TY175.
It's a front pipe and chamber but I can't remember what muffler they used.

I'll try and find the mag over the weekend

Front pipe section (motor to main chamber) available from Sammy Miller Products. Plated finish. They have had poor quality workmanship of the pipe joins (on the inside) in the past. Don't know if they have improved. I make my own header pipes and I'm sure any decent automotive exhaust workshop could also.
High performance and lightweight main section and end muffler both made from aluminium and well made- brand is WES. Available through http://www.tytrials.co.uk/
Both these are made for trials use so are tuned for power at low and mid RPM. They won't stop the motor revving out but if you want max HP, they are not what you would choose.
If you want to experiment, and don't worry, plenty of people have, you can get a chamber made to suit road use, but what about the other bits of the jigsaw? TY175 porting is same as DT175A,B,C,D but I think compression is lower and the carby on the TY is only 22mm. I remember gearing mine up when I was a kid to ride to work and it was spectacularly slow on the road.
One parts bike TY175 in my shed came with the sort of chamber that would suit what you want, but that bike has a DT175F motor, which is the later series motor that breathes much better than a TY175 B,C/DT175 A,B,C,D.

Sorry Brent. I've just posted in the Twinshock Trials forum showing the bike and chamber I was talking about.
