sorry bout the weird word shaking in the video, was my first youtube upload. It offered to "optimize" the video for me, fix colour and shaking etc. and it made it all weird. Might re upload it.

Anyway just had these pipes delivered from 41KS in Estonia. Only 6 working days to Australia. Installed them with the baffles in, 30 min test ride and I was immediately impressed. Awesome Noise, nice and bassy, and I instantly noticed a change in the engine's character. I have not had it remapped yet but the engine already feels stronger and more free revving. Low speed corners I noticed I could use a higher gear and pull smoothly away from 2k, I would normally be covering the clutch at this point, while getting a bit of chain snatch and some engine jerkiness.

The sound with baffles in was amazing to ride with. Loud without being over the top, very throaty and a lot of bass. After my ride I got home and my neighbour was out the front. First comment was "wow, that sounds a hell of a lot better, is that with the baffles out?". No says I, "I reckon you should try it without the baffles" he said. I reckon he was right, so I wheeled her into the shed and set about removing the baffles.

All done, still inside the shed, decide to give her a test fire. Turn the key, hit the button and my first thought was....




fook ME DEAD!!

i wonder how the cops will like the loud pipes, i read somewhere that there's gonna be a crackdown on noisy cars/bikes but they always say that

Make sure you wear ear plugs to keep the creamy white stuff from getting in your helmet.

I love underpasses and gas station awnings.
