    Here is the pic of mine. I love it, But the supertrapp i had i liked more (but its not your typical supertrapp) The thing i do like about it is i have a WB E-seris on it right now, but it will accept ANY 400ex slip on, and bolt right up with no problems. So if i am un satisified with the exhaust i have perty much an unlimited selection of exhusts to choose from.

    Well I finally got the new exhaust stud nut and new exhaust gaskets to fix my leaks and found a good way to mount the pipe so the end cap is not hitting the grab bar. This pipe sounds awesome, there really isn't any other way to describe it. Nice deep tone that sounds very crisp all the way through the rpm range. I haven't had time to dial the carb in to this new exhaust system but once I do I will let you guys know how the power is compared to the supertrapp system! I will have some pictures up tomarrow of the new mounting location and the rest of the bike cleaned up a bit!

    Did you grind the welds on the headpipe?

    No I haven't yet but since I finally got it to where it has a set mounting location and everything sealed up it will be the next thing I do, just have to get ahold of a dremel. Does grinding down the welds really make that much of a difference? If it does is it only performance wise or does it help the sound too?

    I didn't notice a sound difference but once you grind them down you'll be suppried how much larger the holes are.

    What do you mean it looks off?? Like crooked? If so I kinda noticed that too and I think its how my camera was angled because in person it is perfectly straight.

    First of all thank you guys for all the nice comments you have left about the pipe! I really haven't had much of a chance to see about getting my pipe dialed in but it is kind of confusing me. My bike for some reason puffs out a little smoke on start up and when I started it up I noticed that there was smoke coming from the head. I figured that since my old header didn't leak like this I would be fine on the exhaust gaskets but could this be making the bike so lean that a 195 jet won't even color the plug on a plug chop??? The bike really feels very lean with flat acceleration and no balls, and now pops excessively on deceleration when it didn't at all with the supertrapp. I knew I was going to have to jet up on the main but this a bit overkill! Oh yeah I was running a 178 with the supertrapp FYI .
