new exhaust

[gragravar]

so, this is more about the bike, but it is still a modification.

what's this?


Nicely packaged new exhaust:


the megaphone can even comes in a nice bag


Snapped a pic of the stock look before the surgery began


part way through, stock pipes are off


The new look - I also removed the passenger footpegs (that part was a real PITA compared to the rest of the install)






A look at the parts removed


actually I had to put that black servo motor back in as I was getting a check engine light without it. 

so bottom line - I LOVE IT! 

it looks great - it sounds great.  perfect.

It is loud, but in a good way.  I rode to lunch, and if it were not 100 degrees out I would be headed out on a long ride just to listen to the bike.  :-)

here is a video of the difference in sound.  the camera really doesnt do this justice.  you can tell the sound is richer/deeper but the volume change is difficult to distinguish

Sounds mean... like Mad Max mean.  Can't wait to hear it in a couple weeks.

I heard it yesterday.

IS LOUD.

I think pat was a little disturbed by the volume.   

I still love the sound though.

I want a new exhaust as well, though I really have no idea how loud mine is. Then again I guess my bike just sounds like the wimpy little twin it is.

Sounds good man, not sure how I will keep up with you guys in a few weeks.

you'll do fine.  Just bring ear plugs in case you are riding behind me.      oh, and at some point if you want to know how loud your bike is, I will gladly hop on and ride it up and down the street so you can hear it.
