Agreed DJ, don't get me wrong it did sound cool. I sounded like N8 for a day 8) Now if I could just ride like that. :?

I'll keep the parts on the shelf, it's also easy to put back on. Who knows, I might feel the need some day :twisted:

After using different styles and sizes of pipe and clamps I've settled on this one.

I noticed when using a bit larger pipe, 2" with a 1.75"ID, that I heard more back firing, or rather "pops" from the exhaust.

This is a 1.75 pipe with a BMW exhaust clamp holding it. Before installing it I put clear silicone on both pipes, let it sit a minute before turning and tightening.

Hi Guy's
Yes I removed the can many miles ago . to day for the first time the can was off I noticed bad vibes at around 4k and above. I think the can will go back on very soon.
