I have a marving SS silencer but recently bought a stubby titanium blueflame and what a difference it has made to performance of the XT.

OMG

I just fitted the quill, it said t3 on it though. Is it supposed to be so open? I could see through it..

About the sound.. geez its the most awesome thing ive ever heard, its so extremely deep.. On idle it sounds like theres a air cannon behind you..not too loud on idle but incredibly extremely deep and nice sound, like a harley..

When you give gas its more sound actually a bit loud..louder then i would have thought..but i think ts strange that i could see through the whole thing. Is this thing really street legal?

Sounded like it was more soothing sound when just cruising at a fixed rpm though, im gona have to test it more i havent tested it at 80km yet.

Did yours have something in the end of it or is it open?
No wonder it has a deep sound haha..ouch, at 80km/h below 4000rpm its like a loud harley davidson, not to mention below 3000rpm.
I noticed mine is completely open, i can see straight through it, it looks a bit suspicious, i would think some kind of insert at the end was supposed to be there hmm.

In aftermarket exhausts, this is quite ordinary. the sound waves expand through the fiberglass packing in the sides, which absorbs a lot of it, and smooths out the sound IMMENSELY. dont believe it run your bike for a second without a muffler, then tell me how it sounds. actually dont, the short tract could easily pull cold air back and damage an exhaust valve or two.

Hey bergspre.... How did you post that picture?

I still don't know how to put pictures on here from imageshack unless they are full size picture and not like a thumbnail like you did...

BTW... I looked at your other pictures on there... I might add that you live in a pretty cool region!


I'm almost home...10 days left.. hope to get some pictures on here as soon as possible!

I live in a valley so theres alot of mountain roads everywhere

On Imageshack go to "my images" and you get a list of your images shown in small thumbnail size. On the side of each image you can see some icons, click on the one that says "Image detail", this will take you to a new page for that image. The page will show you the picture but to the right side of the page you will see different links that you can use on forums etc..

I usually use the "forum" url under the "Embed thumbnails of this image"-section.

Also, a tips for when putting in the url is hitting the preview button before posting the post so that u will see for sure how it will look. after hitting preview you can also edit and remove that "uploaded with imageshack.us text.. I like imageshack, i think it also has a local software for easy uploading.

Well I decided to bite the bullit and buy the Arrow, it arrived today, only 17 days all the way from Italy to my front door, I bought it from an Ebay seller called EM Lineamoto. total cost was $ 424.59 Canadian.
This pipe is nothing short of WICKED !! the quality is superb with beautiful welds and it fits perfect, I've heard Yamaha even contract these guys to build pipes for their bikes in Europe.
The sound with the silencer installed is not noticably louder than the stock exhaust, but much deeper, without the silencer the sound is absolutely HEAVENLY !!! when I fired the bike up I thought I'd died and gone to heaven, the idle sounds amazing with a really nice Thump Thump Thump Thump, when you rev it it's LOUD ! Sweet

I'm fitting a GSXR 1000 end can to mine, having a mid pipe made at the moment, I got this one out of the scrap bin at my local bike shop, light as a feather & it won't be noisy. Looks good too....

Custom Exhaust
This is a "Coby" automotive "straight through" type muffler/resonator with a custom made intermediate pipe using the factory teflon slip ring where it connects to the front pipe.
It is very LOUD but just legal here.
It has given more low and midrange power, and is half the weight of the factory lump of metal, sounds good, and is safer.

how exactly is it safer? the loud pipes thing is a bunch of BS created by harley riders as an excuse to justify having deafening pipes. all they really do is annoy those behind/beside you. sound does not travel forward that well when the pipe's outlet is aimed to the back. pure physics.
