Staintune Exhaust

[Scoobynut_imp]

They do sound great don't they? I have about 400 miles on mine now and believe it or not, it sounds even better now than when brand new -- I don't think it's just my imagination, anyways! The sound as you approach 7k rpm turns from throaty growl to racebike howl, but even then the sound volume doesn't really increase, it just changes in tone. I love it. Those of you who are worried that this thing is too loud are probably just a little gun shy remembering the Kerkers and Vance and Hines 4 into 1s of days gone by. It's just not like that IMO. Maybe redreno can comment on that too.

Reno, I believe that servo motor cable is to operate the flap in the exhaust opening that's on Japanese and Australian market bikes, so yeah, that part of the instructions is meaningless for the US bikes. I don't recall seeing that in my instructions, but maybe you got the Aussie version of the instructions.

Glad the install went well for you. I haven't noticed the heat shield touching my foot at all and it didn't seem to be in a different spot after mounting, but I can't be positive. It probably helps that I only wear size 10 shoes!

I checked the clamp down by the collector a couple of times after the install as it seemed to want to loosen a bit after my first few rides. That was probably down to me just not tightening it enough, but just to be sure I put of few drops of blue loctite on the clamp bolt threads and tightened it down a little more. It hasn't budged since then.
