Might be the photos, but to me it looks too far back. Any way to cut the pipe shorter?

It's all made with stainless brackets with fittings to line-up with the original exhaust fitting points -- so I doubt whether there is an ability to shorten it, as is. You'd have to weld or somehow fix new mounting brackets. It has never struck me as being oddly long -- and I'm a bit into aesthetics. So -- I don't think you'd have an issue with it in the flesh. |

Chris,ta for the pics it really does look amazingly like a staintune system,I had a google and it seems they are only compatible with the OEM centre stand and I have a H&B so the conversion is getting out of hand price wise.

BUT!! I hate, loath and detest those straight through shotgun pipes that a certain breed of Kath and Kim rider ( look ad moi, look ad moi) must have, that rattle shop windows and can be heard for miles. Something to do with a dick extension. Book the bastards I say. Last edited by saturn 5; 12-08-2012 at 03:37 PM. |

Now lets see the FACTS of some of these incidents that you talk about. Make sure that you can prove that the noise and ONLY the noise is the thing that saved the riders life. FACTS are not just "I have loud pipes and I didn't have a crash therefore the loud pipes saved me". Loud pipes are nothing more than penis extensions for riders who feel insecure and before the flames start loud is loud not different. Many after market pipes change the note of an exhaust to make it more business like but do not increase the volume of noise. |

good one cris, like the snaps of your new muffler.
apart from some weight saving your bike will sound the way you are happy with . AS FOR ALL THOSE LOOKING TO FORCE THEIR OPINIONS AND JUDGEMENT ON OTHERS . PERHAPS YOU SHOULD GO FOR A RIDE INSTEAD OF SITTING INSIDE BEHIND YOUR P.C.

Just had the first full day ride with the Staintune on.
My previously mentioned 3.7 L/100km was a short gentle ride in some local twisty's -- and the figure was from the dash readout. Today's ride (with the baffle in) was more than one tank full -- so I got an accurate bowser/odometer reading. 3.89 L/100km -- at a lot of 10 to 15 above the 100km/hr -- some speed limit stuff through minor road twisty's -- and a couple of passing runs up to the old ton (indicated speed). Looking back at previous figures, that's not an improvement -- but at least there's no fuel penalty for the noticeable increase in torque and greatly improved sound that seems to separate the beats to give more of a distinctive twin thumper sound. Well done Staintune; many thanks from this little black duck, (an ex Sandgroper -- escaped from the flat land to be enjoying the wonderful twisty roads mountains abound with).
