Just bought the CW GP slipon for my 1100evo(UPDATE)

[Fireman1291]

Ok I just got off duty and I had a nice little package from UPS waiting [cheeky]Yay!

Wow is all I can say....Not only is it way lighter and just flows (looks wise) with my factory headers (I polished them) but the single sided swingarm can now show off its beauty and man does it sound NASTY! I recorded a HD video of the stock pipe, no pipe, and the Compwerkes. I came inside and uploaded them to the computer and even with my sound card and 5.1 surround it doesn't even come close to the true color/sound of the exhuast note. So its not a great representation of the sound...It sounds soooooo good. I'm having a buddy come over later to film me from his truck while I'm on the bike so you can hear it under load and I'll do some drive-bys and downshifts. So check here tonight for a video.

Looks good! Looking forward for the video ...

Looks very nice. And sounds louder with the CW slip-on, than w/out anything!

Yeah. I can't get over how mean it sounds while riding

[Mugen939]

Sounds awesome dude. I was very close to ordering this pipe for my evo. I just couldnt get past the look of it. I ended up with the spark system.  But yours sounds great.

[HotIce]

Very tempting, even though I'm a stock kind of guy

Fireman, about ready to pull the trigger and purchase, you have had time to evaluate, how much does the decel popping increase over the stock exhaust?

I would say its hit or miss. I notice it if I use engine braking in 2nd or 1st gear but I usually clutch and brake as I'd rather wear on brake pads than clutch and engine parts. That is of course unless I have to stop very quickly. And of course the popping is more pronounced as the pipe is now louder so I didn't notice as much as the stock cans. It doesn't bother me but I still want to dyno to see if its running lean. I didn't change the air filter so its getting the same amount of air in but is getting the air out faster through the new pipe so one would assume it is running rich which it already does from the factory so if im wrong then it should balance out slightly.

If I had the coin I would have gone for the termis but I don't have $2500 to blow so if these don't work out Ill sell and go for the spark/ecu system. As of now the bike runs fine with no lugging or anything and accelerates hard so I'm not going to discount this pipe until I get dyno time.

Same here Fireman, I've been saving for the Termi's but other things keep taking priority.  After looking at your video and how nice it looks on your bike, I have the same Evo, I ordered the Carbon Fiber CW version.  I'm very excited about getting that huge exhaust off the bike.  Worse case scenario is the same as yours, if it doesn't work out I'll be looking to the Sparks or saving for the Termi's...thx for the video and info, hopefully it won't take too long to get here!!!

Your gonna have a huge grin on your face the first time you ride around town. Bring ear plugs.

I can't wait!!!  I just got an email from CW and they are shipping the exhaust tomorrow.  I am giddy with anticipation!!!! 

PS  Not trying to threadjack but I just got a recall for our bike today, 2011 and 2012 Evo...rear rim prone to the spoke's cracking and they are gonna replace the rear rim with a new one with higher specs....stay safe Sir

Post lots of pics. And yeah I mentioned the recall to my dealer and they knew about it but were waiting for replacement parts to arrive and would call in affected owners.

How many miles you have on yours? I brought mine home from the dealer jan9 and I just hit 1300miles lol. It really smoothes out around 1000mi. The gearbox felt silkier at 600 miles as well when the dealer did the 1st service and replaced the oil with amsoil.

[HotIce]

Ear plugs? Is it really THAT loud?

Yes lol. It has a drone(no db killer) at cruising speeds. I ride with a ipod and its fine.
