like a dump pipe...no muffler at all..?? Hows that working out..?? much heat when stopped..?? wish you had a sound track...:thumbup:

[coz]

is there any baffle in it?:popcorn: how does the bike run with it?

How loud is it and what else did you do to compensate for the no restrictions. This probably leaned the bike out ALOT.

How does it sound? Do you have a video with sound?

I love the sound especially between gears! I can plainly hear many of the V-twins and S/B's in the area when they pass by, definitely not the loudest pipe in the local area. It's jam packed with stainless pot scrubber and has the minimal/decorative mechanical stock baffling. It's got a union I had to cut, stop drill and use an exhaust expander to fit to the unusual diameter outlet the Spyder has. The tip is from Pepboys, it's a billet aluminum main body sleeve about 3/16~1/4 in thick, stock hardware drilled out to fit 10-32 steel button hexhead/hardware and 2 added 2mm button hexhead set screws/hardware to hold the stock mech baffle, has stainless mesh screen to hold the pot scrubber packing. 1 main T-bolt bandclamp and doubletwist safetywiring to mount/secure. I'll see if this computer likes my mini-cam better than the other and get a sound bite. It sits behind the foot just under the foot peg structure subframe, so no heat to the foot. There are some quicker tip possibilites on Ebay in the motorcycle parts section, the seller said he could customize, but said the 2.5in is the largest he had? So I guess he can't customize like he said, you would need to use and expander on it yourself.

Found a tip, new to me since I last looked.

Stainless mesh to keep stainless pot scrubber intact. Kitchen strainers, dryer lint catch.

Drilled out all hardware for use with 10-32 button hex head screws, washer. lockwasher, nuts.
Drilled an upper and lower hole for set screw to retain front face that looked to be pressed in. 2mm button head hex screw and hardware on that.
The adapter from exhaust outlet to tip was a 2 1/2 ID/ 2 1/4 ID I believe. Had to use an exhaust expander to open both sides so it would be a tight fit into tip and to slip over that unusual size of an exhaust oultet on the Spyder. I didn't use the stock slipjoint gasket from the Spyder on this one.
