Nice
Very well made

Looks great! Huge improvement over stock. Better looking, better sound, and better performance. One of the best mods you can make.

AND you only needed the right side muffler and looks great

I installed the new system on Saturday and I love it. Everything was a perfect drop-in fit, no hassles. The sound is great; a fair bit louder than stock but not at all obnoxious. The smaller mufflers seem (imho) much more proportional to the bike and make the rear end seem slimmed down.

The headers turned colors within 30 seconds or so of idling in the garage. I'm not sure if my bike is just running obnoxiously hot or if this was to be expected, but I love the look. Kudos to Paul for his fine work.

Next step is a proper dyno tune by Nels so I can actually ride this thing. Can't wait.

I prefer the chrome look. Hey Paul.....will they always turn color?

As Smitty said, the bike was running with (I assume) the stock tune, which as we know is lean to start with, then even leaner with a free flow Exhaust system.

I was running Penner's stock tune; not sure how lean that is versus factory stock. I also have a RamAir installed. Either way I think the color adds flavor.

For sure best looking header/exhaust combo for the rocket but holy hell your bike must of been breathing fire if it turned those pipes blue in 30 seconds. I've had several bikes that had same characteristic with the headers but that hapenned after years of abuse. Personally I also like the look of the blued pipes but I don't think I'd be riding it much before getting proper tune.

My PB chrome header turned blue during the 12 min tune, I believe the idle is at it was from the factory, not sure if changing tunes has an effect on the idle tune.

Yeah I imagine that the tune had little to do with it since mine wasn't running for long, and then only at idle. I'm still in love with the new system, though I haven't ridden it yet. I have a dyno appointment on Saturday morning, after which I'll probably love it even more.

what do you have for an air filter? I'm using a Ram Air.
Do you also have a PCV or are you tuning directly to the ECU?
I have yet to do a dyno tune, winter came here early, in Maine.

I have a RamAir already installed but no PCV. I've got an appointment with Nels at 2WheelDynoWorks. He's willing and able to tune directly with TuneECU.
