Oh No, not another Power Box thread!

I haven’t done much farkling on my CB1100 this year, spending most of my time and money on a NC700X I purchased back in January. With 30 plus modifications so far, the bike is about done.



I wanted to freshen up my CB1100. I had installed a SP Tadao Twin Tail exhaust on the NC, so I thought I’d try their “Power Box” megaphone exhaust on the CB. It’s about 6” shorter and several pounds lighter than the Staintune exhaust I’ve been running. (See the For Sale section if you are interested in my Staintune.)



The SP Tadao’s exhaust note is nearly identical to the Staintune both in volume and sound quality. I think the smaller size complements the café style I’m going for:





Install was very easy. I paid about $600 for it which includes shipping. Takashi shipped it on a Saturday and it arrived on Monday! Gasket was included.

As much as Staintune owners love their sound, I am happy to hear that the Tadao is in the same ballpark. I have been entertaining a buy of the power box short. I agree with your "style" change. The Staintune is far too stock looking, for me. I couldn't bring myself to part with that much money on a mod that really didn't change the bikes look.
