HMF exhaust

[bjt]

Got my HMF exhaust yesterday and installed it today. I managed to get in a short ride before going to work and I like it. Now I'm stuck just looking at it in the garage until this late winter storms clears up, hopefully by Saturday. Thanks Brunswick for selling me the exact HMF I was hoping for. :2thumbs:

:congrats: on your pipe. How about some pics since you can not ride.

:2thumbs: what color pipe did you get? :nopic:

Cool deal. Make sure it's not too close to the rear brake actuator lever--- I had to put a spacer and move mine out about 1.5" to keep it from hitting it.....

Might be a stupid question but do you have to use an 02 modifier or something else when putting on new exhaust?

You don't have to, but with the increased airflow the O2 mod or a Juice Box certainly helps get more fuel when you need it.....

No you don't the 02 sensor is farther up on the pipe.

:agree: i-i/2 is what you need

Since bjt is at work, I will post the photo he sent me. Tina, it is black and looks very nice.

Congrats, I had one on the Phantom and they sound great.

Pipe looks great. the black goes well with the rest of the black on the back. Does it make it run a lot better? Nice addition. :clap::thumbup:

I just put the carbon hmf on the wifes bike. the sound of it absolutely blows away the hindle.

Mine came with a spacer, about 3/8". At least on my Spyder it acts as a spacer as it doesn't fit completely inside the mounting hole near the passenger footpeg. I was looking at that though and agree that it's close. They could have made their 90 about a inch longer on the side going into the Spyder's pipe.

Is the pitch or tone of hmf higher or lower than hindle?
Is it louder than two bros without baffle?
Thank you in advance.

My first impression is that I think it's a little deeper sounding than the Hindle. Maybe I'll fire both up tomorrow morning and try to determine the exact difference in our two Spyders.

Deeper than the Hindle and quieter than the 2bros. I went thru all of the pipes on Phantom and liked the HMF the best.

Now put tunes in your helmet, and play with the throttle in tune with your favorite song.

WOW :yikes: That carbon HMF looks good bro. :thumbup:

I have the Hindle and went out and fired up bjt's HMF. My first impression was that it was not louder but maybe a little deeper. I then turned off his spyder and fired up mine. The Hindle is so close to the sound of the HMF that if I had my back turned when you started the bikes, I don't know if I would know the difference.

Yeah-- 1" more on the 90 would do it-- or bending it at 92 would work too. I used some gray PVC and made a 1.5" spacer to move it out as mine DID bottom out and punch a small hole in the bottom of my pipe. Can only see the hole from underneath and I patched it with high-temp RTV.

Of course mine is lower than yours due to my BRP bags......

I also like that they will do a repack for you for $35 if you send the pipe in to them....:2thumbs:
