THE DEFINITIVE STAINTUNE vs. ARROW SLIP-ON EXHAUST THREAD!!

[Guth_imp]

Something that really appealed to me about the Staintune other than the tone of the exhaust note (which is excellent) was the fact that it never needs repacking. This also allows them to pull off such beautiful construction without the use of rivets.

That said, the price was definitely on the high side and it was perhaps the only thing that I can remember owning that when asked "why" by my wife I couldn't even attempt to explain. "Just because I wanted it" isn't exactly a selling point, lol.

It may not be as expensive as you think. As Cormanus and I have suggested in other threads, check the cost of a direct order from Australia as opposed to buying from the, perhaps aptly named, "Pirates Lair". The AUD (sometimes known as the South Pacific Peso) has now fallen below USD .70.

Cheers

Understood. However, at that point in time, even if the can were only 1/4 what I paid for it, it would not have gone over well. Removing a perfectly good muffler from a brand new motorcycle and replacing it with anything that cost more than nothing simply did not compute for my wife. I couldn't blame her for thinking I was nuts.

Come to think of it, I'm still crazy — about my Staintune that is.

By the way, it was very cool of you to check in on the Staintune situation Ptero.
