The Jardines went on with no hassle, everything fitted as it should, I think the system is the best looking for the Rocket, big and meaty,
Ok so they are loud in a good way not like the raspy TORs, but where did my torque go, I noticed a reduction in grunt after my Campbell system, I recon its the lack of back pressure so I set to making up some baffle tubes and got the torque back, ok so without the baffles it reved out faster but at the expense of torque, the baffles are 1.5" tube 8" long half closed off at the front end and drilled full off holes not too restrictive with a good sound and cuts down the backfiring.
 
What air filter system you running and are your secondaries open 100%? I installed a Tune Boy tune from the Custom Tune section and WOW did it wake up my bike and torque is awesome. I got TORS and decat underseat K&N. The dyno tune map stated 145hp and 157 tq.
 
Here you go, a pic from each end.
Im running triple K&Ns and Gipro in setting 3 so the secs are open, and the TORs tune for now.
 
Good grief but what did those clowns at Photobucket think the pictures were of.
 
They probably though it some sort of gun or cannon . . . go figure.

Interesting modification there on the pipes. :?

Would like to see actual dyno numbers with those in there. Guess the sound is bit quieter too.
