Got it. Sounds absolutely lovely.

Started new thread, Platt exhaust only, came today, won't have time for a couple days to install and test, looks real good and has some baffling. Workmanship is awesome.

Fitted Dave Platt 1-2 a while back. Loving it, the original exhaust sounded just too tame.

I installed it today, exhaust fit perfect, I must say it looks awesome, sounds like a Ferrari on acceleration , but has the decel pop which I can't stand, lots of folks like it or don't mind it,. Maybe a tune would eliminate or reduce it. The exhaust is not obnoxious loud like one fella said, it's pretty tame. If anyone is interested in buying it PM me.

So you are selling because of decel popping . Surely you can tune it out

Got it. Sounds absolutely lovely.

Looks and sounds great. What is that rattle you have going on when reving

 

[Wadejesu]

There's no rattle, I have decel pop tuned out, with Tune ecu

 

[Evil Mitch]

I really like the look of these and there is a dyno shop near me that has great experience with tune ecu so i think once I pull the trigger I'll get her re mapped just to make sure it's not lean

Good update! I am looking forward to getting my Platte pipes some time next week.... would you be willing to share the specs of the baffles you built? Or, maybe even, consider a side job for any interested parties? (such as myself...

The baffle should come with it, i asked Dave about the popping on deceleration, he said they now come with a baffle, my patriots should be here in 10 days wooo hooo

Heavy rain here today......and with some free time on my hands, i've been thinking about an exhaust swap-out of some kind.

Reasoning:
- To save some weight.
- Get a beefier sound (but not too loud)
- Give me a good reason to get the bike on Richard Alban's rolling road and get the bike running and breathing in an optimal way.
- I'm not looking for ultimate HP increase but a bit more would be welcome.
- VERY IMPORTANT ____I don't want to compromise the bottom end grunt or any of the mid-range.

The problem for me with all of the aftermarket systems that i've seen so far is that the styling becomes compromised.
Perhaps the best looking of the bunch is the swoopy Zard system but so far I haven't seen one for real and they are a bit pricy.....So interested, but not yet convinced on that one.

Then there's the Patriot 3 into 3 from Dave Platt, which i've known about for a little while but not seen in the flesh either. I wasn't sold on the aesthetics when I first saw the videos and photos of it, but I got thinking about that system again today and I decided to do a bit of doodling in Photoshop just to see if I could improve the appearance with a trim cover of some sorts. (see below)

Does anyone out there have anything good (or bad) to report with their Dave Platt 'Patriot' system?
Any info or guidance will be very much appreciated.

I live less than an hour away from Dave Platt's listed address, so I suppose I should make a visit, but ideally i'd like to hear what you have to say first.

Anyway, here's a before and after doodle of a trim cover:

In this doodle i've attempted to extend the slash-cut of the end cans to try to get a bit more of a dynamic aesthetic:

That looks great! The popping indicates a lean mixture, Get her tuned and perhaps it will be reduced.
Do you have a link as to the purchase website?
Thx
