Shorty Performance Exhaust

[Joker]

Congrats mate. As you say, the ToRs tune was close, but always good to get a little extra, and to know you're not running too lean.

so, no 20+ hp loss like others have said?
there may not be any performance gains with this exhaust, but imho the visual aesthetics gains are immeasurable
i'm gonna get me one... now if i can only find a tuneboy dyno tuner in the chicagoland area

avus.. the 20 hp loss is on the zards... ive never seen a dyno of these "shorties" but within a few weeks ill be dynoing them on my bike against my street thugs.. and i do have a base run of my bike stock to compare it against and will be on the same dyno.

Better price on exhaust

If you plan on buying this exhaust the guy who makes them also sells them on the U.K. eBay. Even with the exchange rate and shipping you could save your self a couple hundred bucks. I wish I would have known that before I bought mine and payed too much.

thanks for the heads-up on the link -- contacted the seller, and its only 40pounds to ship oversees. makes for a pretty significant price difference

i'll be sure to keep updated on this thread. look forward to your dyno results

Final observations and opinions...

The last item to do with this exhaust for me was to hear what it sounded like while someone else was riding the bike which I did today. I had a co-worker ride it up and down the street a couple of times so I could just listen. Up until now I had been worried it was too loud. I did not want to come across like a certain group of clones that we all know, whose exhausts are so loud and obnoxious it feels like a tack hammer hitting you repeatedly in the forehead as they drive by. What I discovered today was that the exhaust is not as loud as I thought it was and even though it is louder than normal the tone is pleasant in a beefy & mean way (think space shuttle instead of jack hammer). There are different options for R3 exhausts but for me I am happy with my choice. The only thing I need to do is find a good product to remove some of the gold discoloration that happened from heating it up so much on the Dyno last weekend. I don't have any bluing, but I do have some golding.

A copy of the dyno chart is included earlier in the thread but I will also include a text file of the results below.

Avus9, you are splitting the money saved with me, right?....lol.

Dont want to be a smart arse but I just got one of these exhausts second hand on ebay for £376 delivered. I also really like the look of the pipes so that is a real result for me.
