There is no way to describe the DEEP, rich, tone this thing produces...
If Barry White was a motorcycle, this is what he would sound like..
One things is for sure, little brother won't be sneaking up on anyone with this baby on his bike..
And it looks d@mn sexy too..

55 dollars *shipped* from e-bay
38.24 Seeberg muffler shop in Springdale, Arkansas to weld it on..

I still need to clean and repaint the welds, but thats all part of it...

Almost all of my acceleration problems have gone away..
Still have a small decell problem, but I think its an air/fuel adjustment..

150 main jets
.40 pilots
2.5 turns A/F
K&N Lunchbox
1 shim on the needle (because I lost the other two and can't find anymore :x )

I don't really know.. They were on the bike when I bought it..
I do know they were stuck on the bike specifically to sell it, so I imagine they are the absolute cheapest tires available..

I'll have a look at them and let you know..

That looks better than I thought it would... I would love to hear a sound clip.

I'll make and post a sound clip, I just cant imagine it doing justice to this thing..

davipu

Thanks..
I have a camera that will do 5 second video clips.. My concern is that it will sound wimpy. I have used my camera to video clip people shooting skeet and the guns sound like someone breaking a cracker..

man... i'm usually the most skeptical about this sort of thing, but i think i'm sold...!
LIFE should NOT be a journey to the GRAVE with the intention of arriving SAFELY in an attractive and well PRESERVED body, but rather to SKID in sideways, CIGAR in one hand, favorite beverage in the other, body thoroughly USED UP, totally WORN OUT, and screaming WOW - WHAT A RIDE!

Hmm, CF can with (IMO) too big of a tip or a rashed up Supertrapp???

I'll take the CF any day, thank you very much!

Compared to the stock exhaust which I would rate a 4.5/10 for loudness, what would you rate this can?

In sheer decibel loudness I would give it an 8 to 8.5 out of 10...
The charm of this thing, is its tone..
Compared to my cruisers, which in sheer decibel loudness hold thier own, but give out a *BLAT BLAT  BLAT* sound, this thing puts out a nice, conversational "WOOOOOM" sound...

The other neat thing is it is highly controlable..
That is, If you want to putter out of the neighborhood at 6 a.m. without waking up half the world, you can.. Once you are free of the neighborhood, you can really make this thing bark!

I'll try and get that video file posted today..

Faxxxy

Thats all???
12 replys??

You guys were lining up to hammer me when you thought it was a bad idea..

Now that its the bomb, you guys only give me 12 replys!!!!

I'll try and get that sound file on here tonight..
That should spark new interest.

Other then the burn tip, its a wileyco.. (except 1/2 the price..)

jordanearl

the sound is what drives me away from doing something like that.  I have an obx r can off my eclipse laying around an thought about it when i first got my gs.  but figured it would be so loud my neighbors would piss themselves
