i'm in the middle of an exhaust switch and rejet, and i had to ride my half finished bike home from a friends house (about 25 min from home).
i got home at about midnight, and my ears were ringing slightly and my head hurt (and i can't even remember the last time i got a headache).
my exhaust is stock, but it is cut off with a sawz all right where it would normally connect with the muffler can.
i can't say i reccomend this mod because,
A: I am 100% certain that this would cause long term hearing damage, if ear plugs are not used.
B: i'm running some pretty rich jets, and i think i'm leaning out, maybe.
C: it isn't really faster than the "stock" form i bought it in. (this was determined by the fact that it still tops out at 95 mph, on a closed course of course ;) )
D: did i mention it is REALLY loud? and not like metric cruiser Glug GLug loud, but like built NA drag car Loud (if you know what i mean, awesome. if not, go to a drag strip.)
tomorrow it is going to the exhaust shop, before i get an invitation to join the Harley Owners Group.
You got home at midnight? I bet your neighbours were happy.
I live in the woods, so no neighbors in complaining distance, but my dad was rather relieved when i told him the bike's next stop is the exhaust shop.
Know what you mean, when I was putting on the Wileyco I tried it with just the flange on... Ha that was loud, and really did not sound as deep and throaty as the Wileyco did.
permament dammage my ass, just don't try to tell me anything while standing on my right.

you should get a bigger bike with pipes on both sides. That way you could even out your hearing loss and you wouldn't have to worry about only having 1 good ear :lol:
the shop i took it to says it will be a while before they can get me in, so i bought some ear plugs
95mph is a little slow for a gs, even in stock form. Here's hoping that your rejet fixes that.
i was thinking that my wide frame may be hurting my top speed due to wind resistance, but i think that most of my problem is the terrible original state i bought the bike in. it will get better with time.
and maybe i will lose some weight, and width too.
