TADAO: Power Box-Short

[twiin640_imp]

DGShannon,

I was as anxious as you to get the exhaust installed but life gets in the way so didn't get to it until this morning. I've decided not to post pics because they'll be no different the the others who have posted pics about this exhaust. Here are my observations:

Install:
Very easy to install. It took me approx. 1 hour. I put my laptop in the garage and followed the youtube video by sptadao on the install of this exhaust. At the youtube search bar type "CB1100 Power Box Install". This is the link if I copied it correctly.

It's all in Japanese but the video is very well done.

Sound:
The sound is a deeper tone. It isn't obnoxious or loud, but a noticeable deeper tone than stock. In my opinion, the audio online is close but not close enough to the real sound. If possible, try to find someone with this exhaust and listen to it. Personally I like the quietness of the stock exhaust and only got the powerbox because it wasn't loud and it's smaller than the tree trunk stocker that came on the bike.

Weight:
I didn't weigh the powerbox. I'm not worried about weight. I won't be doing track days or anything like that. Once again I just wanted to get rid of the tree trunk stocker. I was a Bueller before getting the CB so I'm used to the exhaust being tucked away under the bike or at least a bit smaller. The powerbox is the most I can stand hanging out to the side without wanting to get a saws all out and doing some "mods".

Power:
I don't know yet. It's 32 degrees right now where I live so I won't be riding today. I'll post again once I've had a day or two to test it out.

Anyhoo, I like it and would recommend it to someone who wants a smaller profile exhaust and a deeper tone than the stock exhaust.

Ride On
