That exhaust looks horrible.  All of the Dan moto's.  I guess you get what you pay for though.

I think it needs a chop or the cans brought forward to flush the rear of the bike.

with a tail chop, yes the cans are too long. with the stock tail they are correct.

i had to chop my cans from Roads Italia as well because i ran a short tail.

needs strap around rivets or i wouldn't ever come close to buying it.   looks unfinished and amateur otherwise to me, and while it would be possible for me to do this myself, I don't feel like - i want it done from the get-go.

We all have different priorities and likes. For me price was of course a concern just because I dont see the value in spending $1k+ on slipons, but I actually like the kind of unfinished & rougher edges, it looks more monstery to me.

Just got them in today, holy crap are these things compact and light!!  HUGE difference over the massive stock cans.  Even with them being light, they feel VERY solid.

First impressions:  Decent packaging, no damage during shipping.  Quality looks good, nice welds with (what looks like) good penetration.  Stainless looks nice, some little imperfections on blended areas, but you really gotta be looking.  The seem where the rolled steel was joined could be a bit smoother - but that's on the underside of the cans.  Intermediate pipe looks nice.  Springs from can to intermediate pipe look good...we'll see how they hold up (they don't look like stainless, but they could be).

Few "bad" things that stick out right away:  Hanger, it is just meh, not terrible but could be improved.  It's stainless as well, all the holes in the strap are countersunk/chamfered and everything has a good edge-break on it, no burrs.  But still, hanger is kinda...cheap feeling - though I am not totally sure how I would improve it.

Second issue - holy 'eff it is hard, neigh on impossibly tight, to get the intermediate to slip into the muffler/can.  I think I am going to have to hit the edge of the pipe with some sandpaper to give it a chamfer so I can slip the cans on.  Could use a little fit & finish on that interface.

Personal opinion time:  I paid $208 shipped - even with the little nit picks and without knowing how they will hold up long-term - I am very happy with my purchase.  I've always thought there is no good reason why motorcycle exhausts need to cost so much more than automotive exhausts for hos simple and small they are.  These cans, to me, prove that.  Install pics will come this weekend, video of them with the bike running will be shortly after that (likely in my own thread about these cans) once I finish some other maintenance.  

For now, take a look (ignore my grubby fingerprints on the cans):








(Weld on the bottom of the can, trick of the light makes it look worse than it is.  It's a solid weld, just a little messy.)

All carbon fiber exhausts look like fetid hunks of elephant shit.

Eagerly awaiting, and thanks for the review.

[laugh]  That dung is no where near fetid enough, hence the difference in appearance.

Ended up not having enough time this weekend, but, as promised - here are pics of the cans on my M750.  The mounts aren't on yet, but this as least gives an idea of how they fit/look/sit on the bike.







I give them a big [thumbsup] - I LOVE the way they look, they are super light and just the right (IMHO) length...can't wait until I finish the rest of the work on my bike so I can hear these bad boys...

Why put a low budget pipe on a jewel of a motorcycle?  I agree that the price of cans are more than they should be but I know we have all paid a lot of money to own Ducati's. If you are only looking for sound then I guess I can understand saving hundreds on these and having more money to use for other upgrades.  But the look is sub par compared to the other pipes that are out there from the established exhaust makers.  This is just my opionion and not made as a flame to anyone on here.  If you are happy that is all that matters, but my $200+ will go towards a different exhaust.
