In 1958, Jardine developed its first exhaust system for Hot Rod Cars. In 1972, Jardine applied that performance technology to high performance exhaust systems for motorcycles. In those days, computer simulation, CAD Cam, Vector Tracing, and all the other technology that Jardine uses 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.
