they are loud, good low grumble. Can def hear me now going down the street.  I took it for a quick spin tonight first time since i put them on. just went around the block. one thing i noticed is all the people walking down the street in front of me turned around to see what was coming. Never had that before. i gunned it at a stoplight just to hear it and this girl jumped about a foot that was waiting to cross.  So yes general hooliganism is afoot now.  I sure as hell cant hear the wind blowing through my helmet anymore.

Your bike keeps getting cooler looking Salty! It's fun to modify these Monsters huh? Addicting as they say. I'm curious about your top end. When I chopped my pipes I lost any passing ability up around 90 mph. The power curve flattens up there. Now I'm not saying to go speeding on the streets but if for some reason you find yourself & bike up around the triple digits let me know if it's still got it. Maybe next track day you can try this  ;)

It's not just the exhaust that annoys my neighbors  ;)

One thing i noticed is it lost the popping upon deceleration, which is good. And in low speed traffic is doesnt surge anymore  [clap] Thing seems to run better with these pipes on it then the Arrows?? Maybe its all in my head.  ;DGo figure.

Yes, but does it hit ludicrous speed?

Probably since you tightened your chain (finally) it does better in the low speed traffic.

Mach speed and report back. Anything happens I am not responsible   [bacon]

Dang, I just noticed... your wheels have black centers and silver rims.  Very cool!

Must've been hidden before behind those full-size Arrows. ;)

Very good-looking bike.  [thumbsup]
