And she sounds even better now w/ about 2K miles added since this was done...  [evil]  Not too loud, which I like that The Vixen could hear me coming home the other day from a block away... :P

Hope this helps...

Well I talked with the guy at "monsterparts.com' and we had a discussion about what's out there, yadda yadda.  I'm definitely going with CF, since as many of you know via owning them, or hearing about it, they do muffle out the 'tinny' sounds and only leave the more bass-y notes.  Gotta love expensive plastic, vs metallic bits. :)

Heard Adam's S4R at MC tonight when I picked up my bike.  It sounds bad ass, but then I could barely hear the damn pipes over that clutch.  Grr.  But from what I did get, it was very similar to the sound I'm looking for.  Not to mention.  THE UDDER WAS GONE!!!  As Midwest as I am, I believe my Monster should not model the farm animals of my younger years.  Lol.
"Why, so serious!?"

Yes, CF mufflers sound awesome.  ;D

And yeah, you gotta get rid of the udder.  This pretty much sums up my opinion of that ugly thing: [puke]


Not to ignore Marvel... the Quat-D ExBox looks bad-A.  [thumbsup] I think because it's shaped like... well, a stylish motorcycle part, instead of looking like a malignant tumor.  And I do loooove how much it cleans up the tail of the S*R-series bikes.  I haven't ever heard one in person, though (and I trust no video + PC speakers to make that determination), so I dunno whether I like their sound.

I call it a subtle rumble... and the look is unmistakeable!  Hopefully we'll make a trip to PDX or some of you will come to visit us and you'll get to see/hear the goodness... :)
