Title: Oh man.. Major weight loss!
Post by: Yev on May 18, 2009, 08:13:29 PM
So I ordered my Laser Deeptone Exhaust from Foster RAD (out of NY) Wed. and it it arrived on Friday... However I was visiting a friend up at college on the other side of the state - so I didn't get to put it on until today! Oh man.. I think the GS lost 25 lbs. The stock exhaust was mighty heavy and the Laser Deeptone is a whopping 5 lbs or so.
The install was fairly straightforward.
Here are some pics:

Took it for a short spin and it sounds good.. However, tomorrow I will take out the dB killer!  :icon_twisted:

 :D :D :D :D :D :D  you have made a great choice.. and when you take out that dB killer..  holy mother of god... :cheers:      you will never never go below 5k rev.. this thing sounds sooo good at high revs.     you will not regret it.

this thread is ABSOLUTELY worthless without a sound clip  ;) ;) ;)
(just make sure to place camera about 2 or 3 meters/yards away from the bike when recording - much better quality, otherwise the sound will be very distorted)

can't wait to hear that beast!

PS Great choice - LASER deeptone was my favorite exhaust when I was searching for one, but waaaay to expensive that's why I got Leo Vince and customized the midpipe - much cheaper that way and still sounds great, in my opinion.

I know.. I can't wait to take the dB killer out! I will def take a few sound clips. Maybe even tomorrow.
Bluehaze.. I have to drill out the "screw" holding it in, right?

Yep.. just take it easy.. its the one on the bottom.  u can use a small size metal drill bit.. then go larger if it doesnt pop out.

According to the factory, it makes more power with the dB killer IN.  Just FYI before you start drilling.

When I read the subject, I thought you went on a diet... I'm glad the thing sounds good and the bike runs well, but trying to make the GS loose weight is like trying to make a mack truck lighter. You can do it, but what's the point? The motor alone weights like 150 pounds dry...

dry is no good!! its gotta be wet,

that way you can break out the flour and look for the wet spots!

thats when you know a diet is in order

Title: Re: Oh man.. Major weight loss!
Post by: gsagent005 on June 01, 2009, 07:48:50 PM
it was like $600 year and a half ago, the guy told me that with the economy and exchange rates it went up that much :bs:

gotta be a cheaper place to pick up a laser deeptone exhaust full system

FosterRAD hooked me up on this exhaust.. I got it for $420 shipped to my door. I can't promise that they will let it go that cheap for anyone else.. but you never know! Sounds clips will come.. I am in the middle of moving so it has been very hectic here.

P.S. I took out the dB killer.. OH MYYYYYY!!!  :icon_mrgreen:

OH MYYYYYY!!!  as in too loud.... wake the neighbors up loud..... or damn that sounds good loud......

not too much for long rides though right, i know some car exhausts can get a droning sound that can be very annoying on a road trip

It can be reinstalled.. just have to buy a small bolt and nut to go into the hole you drill.. but trust me - you will never want to go back!
