Nice!! I always get excited when I'm getting an exhaust in the mail, like a kid on Christmas.:lol: Leo Vince is good stuff I think you will be happy, post some pics up when you get it.:thumbup:

 

I dont think the M4 is obnioxious by any means..with the baffle in, its rather tame. Anyways, you also cant go wrong with a Leo. I've heard mixed reviews on kneedraggers in the past so let us know how it works out with them and pics of your pipe..Packages of parts always brings a smile to my face :birthday::thumbup:

 

I'ii definitely post picts when it's on the bike. Any of you have experience with ceramic coating? I'd love to know it's longevity and if it has any negative effects on the bike. From what I've been reading it's suppose to keep heat "in" so the outside of the muffler would technically not be as hot as it would be without the coating. Wondering if that's a bad thing for the bike.

 

Sorry can't help with the coating, I wanted a black exhaust so I just got carbon fiber, coating it never crossed my mind.

 

My exhaust came in today and it's now installed. Looks so much better! Easier than I ever thought it could be to install too. I've read a ton of stuff about Cat hack etc... not sure I will be doing it though I'm not so wild about the lima bean hanging from my bike right now I'm hoping to run across someone(in person) who's done the hack and running a mid-pipe w the slipon so I can hear how loud it sounds before I chop anything off.

I'm going to do a little more research too on the ceramic coating before I decide to do that also.

I do wonder if I'd need a mid pipe or if the pipe would work as is without the cat.

 

I really like Leo Vince stuff. I doubt it would fit properly without a midpipe, but the cat has to go, it weighs like 10 pounds. I'm not sure if Leo Vince makes a midpipe. Here's an Akrapovic midpipe, but it's like $250

 

Looking good...:thumbup:

 

Ceramic like this?

Yes, I've had mine coated since.. June or July I think. Whatcha want to know bout it?

 

Yes! That looks great. Maybe I'm misunderstanding but I was reading in one of the vendors sites that it is designed to reduce the movement of heat and keep the heat within the part. Was wondering if that affects the bike in any way other than the exhaust keeping cooler.

 

Won't negatively impact your bike whatsoever. The purpose of your exhaust pipe is to direct hot exhaust gases away from the motor (and the rider), the problem with the metals that are used is that they heat up and the heat from the hot exhaust gas is converted into radiant heat in the metal instead of flying away into the atmosphere behind you. The ceramic coating helps reduce this effect and allows the exhaust to more efficiently remove heat away from the bike. I did it just for looks, and you won't notice any change in performance whatsoever. Unless you use an infrared thermometer on your bike's parts for some reason, you'll never notice that the temperature of the exhaust's surface dropped 20 degrees.

 

The Leo looks great ma'am..a very nice choice :clap:

Have you taken any sound clips of it for us yet? :hmmm:

 

@ tls2death, thanks for the info! Makes sense. I called up a different place and it's something they do all the time so I'm gonna get it done. $20 a foot is not bad.

@ Bry, it's still got the lima bean on so not sure it's a useful clip. When it's back together maybe I'll give it a shot if I can get something close to what it sounds like in person.

Thanks for the help! Next will be deciding if I want the ugly LV sticker on there. I feel it needs something on it but not fond of their logo

 

Great looking exhaust. I love your ****ing bike! Is it stock on the outside? What year is it?

 

Thanks
Got your PM and replied.

 

Might be the first to say it looks to similar to the stock can for me... But as long as your happy :thumbup:

 

It's now off to get coated. I'm going to be waiting a bit on any cat hack until I can hear on in person. I can't wait for our group rides to begin again.

I found a TTunner midpipe on ebay for a bit over $100 that specifies my bike but no idea if the other end fits my exhaust. Is it usually a standard size end?

@350gt, maybe another year model but this is the stock can below

 

yup thats what it looks like... Will look better when coated for sure.....

 

Here's what it looks like now. I like it much better. I'll see how long I can live w the lima bean though I'm not sure about putting the LV logo on the pipe yet since I'm really not wild about their logo design.
