Installed the stright shot pipe by Akrapovic

[mstngken]

This pipe sounds great and imo does not look bad in chrome adds a bit of flare to it.

Some people just don't like chrome! I think it looks great. :yes:

I installed mine today. All I have to add is some pictures of the packaging, which was done very well, and a scan of the instructions. It is a one-bolt installation. Very easy!

They sound good, don't they?! :thumbup:

Took an F3 fitted with the Straight Shot for a test ride this past Wednesday, & was trying to find the right words to describe the sound.... best I could come up with for something that conveys the 'right' noise was 'Ripsaw Roar' - anyone got a more descriptive alternative? pps:

To me, in fourth gear winding out from 3K to 8K, it sounds like a howl. Not as high-pitched as an inline-four, but very similar.

While the quality is top-shelf, and it looks very cool, it is hard to justify (IMO) that much $ for any muffler. I paid $930 plus tax.

I had an Akrapovič pipe on my VFR1200 and it cost roughly the same even though it was more "complicated". (Exhaust flappy valve, more piping and a carbon fiber tip.) That particular pipe sounded great (at idle and low speeds) with the "decibel killer" insert pulled out but it didn't change the sound much on the top end. The Akrapovič pipe for the F3 doesn't have a removable insert but if you look in the end of the pipe there isn't much there. The VFR pipe only had a sticker whereas the F3 pipe has a nice riveted medallion.

The stock muffler is 10#. I didn't weigh the new one but the box it came in has a UPS sticker on it that says 12.2#.

Its hard to tell the sound diff on the video but there is a more deeper tone and on the highway the sound is quite abit different.

Sure looks great. Hard to hear over the engine if that makes sense.

I know someone that added this pipe to a demo f3 but told me they took it off cause it didn't sound any different than the stock pipe and for the 1300$ cost it wasn't worth the money.

that's amazing that someone will pay over $900 for a motorcycle muffler... :yikes:

I was hoping the muffler would get louder and have better tone as it "broke in" but it still sounds like it did when new.

However, it sounds very very nice inside a tunnel. Too bad the only tunnels where I live are underpasses and are very short.

I don't think I'd buy it knowing what I know now, but at least it looks nice.

Did the cat delete pipe on mine and it sounds great. Kind of wish the pipe was a bit longer to move the sound a bit further back but overall very nice.
