In 1958, Jardine developed
its first exhaust system for Hot Rod Cars. In 1972, we applied that
performance technology to our first high performance exhaust system for
motorcycles. In those days, computer simulation, CAD Cam, Vector Tracing,
and all the other technology that we use today, just wasn't readily
available. R&D was done the good old fashioned way; hand build a prototype,
run it out to the dyno to make some smoke, then repeat as required to get
just the right power, sound, and styling. The rest is history. But unlike
most manufactures, Jardine will never forget its history and that golden era
of performance motorcycles.
Nowadays, Jardine exhaust systems are manufactured using the latest
technology. High tech CMM and Vector Infrared Tracer machines copy
prototypes to NASA type specs. Automated punch presses, CNC Tube Cutters and
Benders manipulate metal at incredible rates of accuracy and speed. In one
fluid motion, robotic arms plasma cut shapes and weld components together
from precisely written computer programs and fixtures. Final assembly
includes polishing, plating or coating, and packaging.
