How do you like it? How was the fit and quality? How loud? Most importantly, do you have any pics of it installed?

Almost forgot: Does it mount inside the frame like stock, or outside like Cobra?

Its pretty loud and it mounts inside the frame like a stock muffler. But it should give you a very noticeable power increase.

Thank you, Anyone else?

Well, I went ahead and ordered it from www.Denniskirk.com. It should be here tommorrow. I'll let you guys know what I think.

My brother has it on his 200S. He said it added a little bit of power. Normally that's hard to believe from a DG system but the head pipe is a lot bigger than stock.

Well, it came last night. The quality looks to be good so far. I can see the paint lasting about five minutes though. I will install it some time this week.

Those will fit a 200E right?

OK. Here is what happened. The bracket on the muffler was welded in the wrong spot. I had to bend the bracket and rig it up a little. I had to drill the threads out of the mounting hole on the frame and use a longer bolt. I also had to put it BEHIND (looking from the back of the bike) the cross brace instead of the front (again, looking from the back) like its supposed too. It's on there really solid though.

2nd thing: The header was not bent exactly right. I had to put a ding in it where the top rear motor mount bolt is with a ball peen . It's still resting on it and could probably use another whack. I don't think putting a ding in it affects performance one bit, because the header pipe is MUCH bigger than stock. Then I had to bend the end of the pipe that hooks to the muffler up a little.

Yeap, I was right about the paint. It instantly started frying when I started it.

I really like the sound. It might be too loud for some, but I usually run it out in the middle of no-where. I don't think the trees will mind.

I took it for a very short ride. I live in the city, so I can't run it for more than 2 minutes here. It sure did seem to have a NOTICABLE improvement in take off. I could only run through first and second gear though, I have a small yard and have already had a talking too by the cops about ripping up and down the street on it. I'll take it out to the country next Monday or Tuesday and let you guys know.

All and all, I guess it's not that bad for a $100.00 exhaust.

BTW: I'm running a #100 main jet (95 was stock) and the needle clip in the third groove (2nd groove was stock) and the pilot screw out an extra 1/2 turn. This seems to be about the right calibration for this pipe, but I'm going take a wide open run and double check.

[StangLX302]

Those will fit a 200E right?

I'm not sure. You can just go to www.denniskirk.com and look up exhaust systems by year and make.

So, how about some pictures? Why did you decide to go with DG as opposed to the Cobra system?

Can you get us an approximate diameter increasein the head pipe. I know the stock one is rather small.

Oh, you're going to run out of stuff to do that little 185 if you keep this pace! Have you serviced the clutch yet?

Ok. I'll get some pics up soon. I'd do it right now, but it's dark out.

I'd say it's at least 3/8" bigger, maybe 1/2". It looks HUGE next to the stock pipe.

Nope, haven't messed with the clutch yet.
