I've had interest in those pipes too, Cane. Their website has a photo section (http://tailgunnerexhaust.com/photos.php) which shows an RIII (one of the last photos) with those pipes, belonging to a guy in Alabama.
I'm curious to know what he thinks of them. His name is provided, but no contact info.
Anyone know somebody that runs any of these pipes?

Jaredmt, They look great they also sound like a machine gun haveing a rocket with those pipes should realy make it look like a Rocket. I was talking to one of the sales persons named Charlie and he was saying I could have one one each side. He was saying the Txas long Guns look good but there $650 each and 22 inches long. But he said that the Hogleg is $395 each and it sounds the same but it's 13 inches long and bothe of them is a slash cut that looks cool.

You would also need a solution to accept the exhaust instead of the CAT, which would then have just a dual outlet, one for each side. Did the sales rep mention anything there? Seems like that might have to be custom.

Jaredmt, He said if I got a Rocket with Jaridine exhaust and take the ends off and this will slip on and that he has different adapters that would be theeasyest. But even if I got a rocket with one pipe and two on the other side he said that I would need to get some one to make me up a an adater to change it into two pipes. He said that it should be cheep that it wasn't that much work. He did say that are thinking of makeing up an adaptor kit but he doesn't know when.

Not all that...
I have a new R3 and it's not that fast. I also have a 2006 Hayabusa and 2006 GSXR 1000 with Yoshi pipes, power commander and K&N?
The sports bikes are F-A-S-T. The R3 is torquey but that's it.
Peace.

A more fair comparo.
919:
Comparing an R3 to a 'busa is like comparing a Vespa to a Harley.
You ride those ****** rockets with your puss stuck out in front in a primal crouch. You sit in the R3 like an easy chair. Somehow, I prefer the easy chair to the primal crouch. I'll ride my R3 500 miles and get off and be able to stand up (read no primal crouch), be able to hear (read no bumble bee buzzing in your head from the pipes) and no bugs in the teeth (read that puss out front collects bugs and road filth).
Personally, if I was going to get any ****** rocket, I'd get an MV Agusta. I see 'busa's and Gixxers all the time. They are like flies on turd in the front lawn, sounding like angry bees with their riders in the primal crouch position....how do you stand up after a few hundred miles on those things. Maybe that's why the kids at college all seem to be stooped over. I thought it was just bad posture. I'll have to investigate further.
A stock MV will stomp the stock 'busa and the Gixxer and do it with class. Dignity is what it's all about, but then, the MV isn't cheap and the MV isn't a cookie cutter bike either.
You need a Harley. Everybody has one. You'll fit right in.

The R3 is faster to 40 mph than the busa.
Jack- tell this guy what a fast busa really is.

I beg to differ, Flip. The MV won't stomp the '07 Gixxer. European and SWA comparos all say that it ("it" being the last, souped-up "312" rendition) comes "amazingly close" , but does not quite beat it. In terms of class, I'd tend to agree with you. But not in terms of dignity. Nowadays, dignity is a loser's word

Cool Discussions
Glad to see my comment lit a fire under someone's a*s. (small fire but still a fire).
The R3 is 100% more comfortable than the sportbikes, but this thread is not about comfort but about speed. Therefore I limited my discussion to speed. I just did not want people who ride R3's to think that their bikes were fast when they are not. The R3 is torquey but not a fast bike in the motorcycle world.
Granted, I am talking about "slow" R3's with tuneboys, filters and pipes and not R3's with turbos or nitro's. I cannot vouche for the speed of those animals.
My GSXR1000 and Hayabusa will absolutely DESTROY and cruiser without turbo etc. That's all. Nothing more, nothing less. Apples to Oranges? Yes. Speed comparison? None.
MV Agustas are beautiful bikes but they are no faster than my 2006 Suzuki GSXR1000. My Gixxer has a power commander, ait filter mod and Yoshi system. For those of you who have not ridden a sportbike of this nature I HIGHLY reccommend it! 160 horsies at the rear wheel is "neato".
Fankly, the GSXR 1000 is the best bike I have ever ridden. The seating position, engine, braking, suspension - the whole package is superb. I had a 2005 Yamaha R1 and sold it after 5000 miles cuz I felt like a pretzel after riding it for any amount of time.
The GSXR1000 I can ride all day whithout any discomfort at all. No sore wrists, back or neck. I frequently do 500 mile days on that bike. I am 5-10 with 30 inch inseam.
To me the only real bike on the planet is a sportbike. Having said that, 90% of the people riding them are in over their head squids. Do not pass judgement on this statment until you have over 10,000 miles logged on a sportbike. Cruisers are for old men, real riders master sport bikes. Hypocritically, I own an R3 cruiser. The reason? Comfort on ultra long trips. I plan to take this bike on 2000 mile adventure rides.
Any motorcyclist that has not mastered riding an aggressive sportbike is kidding themselves. They think they know how to ride - nope. They don't. It's not their fault. They are just limited to couches with wheels on them called - "cruisers".
Don't even get me started on Hardley Davisons. To me, most of the people riding those bikes are doing it to feel like they are in a club rather than for the love of riding a motorcycle. If they loved riding motorcycles, they would ride something lightweight, with a decent power to weight ratio - right?
What's the difference between a Harley Davison and a vacuum cleaner? The vacuum only accepts one dirtbag, most Harley's accommodate two.
Well until next time kiddies. Read, lather, fingers on keyboards.........go!
