What does every good thumper need, but a Staintune Pipe. I ordered the pipe with the bike but did not fit it until I ran the bike in a little. I was advised that by using the stock pipe with more back pressure may help to seat the rings better.
Anyhow it was time to fit the pipe. The process is very straight forwars and only took about 15 mins.
Remove the right side cover. Unbolt the clamp and two botls attaching the silencer and slide it out. Reverse this process to install the new pipe.
The new pipe is VERY loud. Despite assurances that it meets Australian standards (<94db), it is still very loud.
I will be arranging to take the bike to have it checked out. The bike does go alot better though.
The stock exhaust weighs in at 4.5kg whilst the Staintune was only 2kg.
how much did you pay for the exhaust & do you think it was worth the money / can you feel the difference in power? Thanks, Paul.

I purchased the pipe with the bike so do not have a real cost for it. I believe they retail for about $600.
There is a noticeable difference in the performance, however I still believe that it is a little too loud.
Cheers
