    Well I finally got around to doing mine. I used a Magnaflow pipe. I have not painted it yet due to the fact that I want to get it tuned and be sure I am happy with it before putting anymore time into the project.

    So far I like it.

    In general I am not one for loud pipes. But I must say 2 things:

    First, when I played your video my 2 pugs jumped up and ran around the table barking like mad

    Second, I love the sound of that pipe

    Nice work, don't forget to update us when it is all painted up.
    Three in the garage, and I think I can fit at least one more in.....and then we will have to build another garage.
    The roads in NY are so bad that I am glad we bought a Ryker Rally

    Just sayin'............

    Maybe silly question, can't you just simply drill off the rivets and repack the Hindle? I like the looks of the BRP Hindle but didn't think they'd blow out so easily.

    You could yes, but where is the fun in that? I think it sounds much better now. The Hindle seemed to crackle more, this is a much throaty, deeper, rumble sound.

    Like I said I may just use it for around town and riding with my Harley buddies. I would use my Hindle for longer trips and riding with the wife. (Unless thing runs like a raped ape after it's tuned). Then I may have trouble taking it off.

    that pipe sounds great, a little deeper than mine.
    it was fun while it lasted.
