AMAZING the duifference. took me about 2 mins to get the old exhaust off and 5-10 mins to fit the Fuel one.

very very impressed. I have a before and after vid from my phone but have uploaded it to webshots but the sound is buzzing??
suggestions

the baffle was take out even before I started the bike up.

If anyone is thinking of getting an exhaust then I would very highly recommened Fuel.

why

their very well priced. mine was £175 free postage for a Titanium round
great service
looks good
very easy to fit
and best of all sounds amazing.

Hooligan

There used to be a lad at work with a Triumph Daytona 955 fitted with a Devil underseat exhaust - baffles out, it used to rattle the windows hehe



Mine sounds sooo mcuh better now. just wish I could post my GP3 vid on here

To add its better to be heard and not take off the bike then have a nice quiet exhaust and get wiped out. which I have done in Jan 07. OK not due to the exhaust but the car in front did not know I was following him for a mile before he did a u-turn in fron of me

Anyway, I'm guessing this is an end can yeah? Surely not a full system at that price and time to fit? I really need to get my zorst fixed soon.

Incidentally Matt, have you checked your brakes over recently? I cleaned & checked mine at the weekend: two pistons in both front calipers were a bit slow and one on the back had seized completely! eek New fluid, new rear pads, WOW! much better now, ta! yes[/quote]

Yup just end can and coming to work today was great. sounded lovely

also checked the brakes last weeek. all fine.

I don't really want to dick about with insurance as I only use the bike for regular commuting and it's unlikely I'd be in a position to swap them over if I was in a position to make a claim. Many people don't tell the insurance though.



Ok good to hear

Possibly, if you're more comfortable being in company but not if you actually want to be covered

However, there's lots of anecdotal evidence around that people have claimed and not had their claims affected by the legal status of their exhausts. I just didn't want to take the risk.



Not saying I won't inform the insurance. but may ask how much to change before I fit the can

There are ways to post it, if it's not too big then send it to my username at hotm ail dot com and I'll sort it for ya.







Looks good, same as mine.

and as for posting the mobile vid, I have double checked and the sounds crap so not worth posting now. Might get my camcorder on it and try to compress and post the vid.

But as I'm 30 today I will not be doing it today

Rather embarrassingly, I live in Leeds and my bike lives in Norfolk paperbag so it was a mate who took it to get fitted and took the video, as such I haven't actually ridden it with the new exhaust on yet. Don't think the baffle was ever in!

Yup, the SV revs to 10,500rpm, and hits the limiter there as I keep finding out as I can't hear whether it's doing 3000 or 10000 rpm, that should be sorted now though


ahh bet your looking forward to getting ont he bike witht he new exhaust on and you will hear it now. I'v only been commuting with my new can on but over screams all the way to 12,500. usually chicken out about 10 or 11,000
