New Spyder Owner!!!

[hartsock1986]

Thank you all for your posts. I was pleased to see when I logged on a few days later, 40 posts or more!!!!! From the sounds of it, I may be going with a hindle exhaust. I know I do like LOUD bikes, however, the wife voiced her opinion on how she absolutely loves it when her ears are ringing and she has a headache on a long bike trip.

So, to please the wifey, I think I will go with the hindle. It seems to flow and blend with the bike, does look stock, and has a good sound to it.

I suppose if I want to make noise, I'll jump on my Harley Davidson V-Rod Muscle, with Tab mufflers and go raise hell. This bike sets of car alarms at idle. The police dont mess with me though, because I am a police officer myself. They just shake their head and wave to me, so I grab a hand full of throttle just for them.

Back to the Hindle exhaust, anyone have any ideas as to where I can get the best deal? Leaving on a trip to Iowa in 3 weeks, so I would like to have the pipe installed before my trip.

Thanks again for all your feedback guys. I love it!!!

...... now im not sure. Saw a couple sweet videos on youtube with the different exhausts with an air filter and juice box.... maybe I could buy the wifey an awsome set of earplugs??? HAHAHA.

I hope she doesnt read this.

As far as aftermarket exhaust cans though, sounds like I need to buy a 90 pipe to attatch the muffler. Can anyone elaborate?

Im sorry, Im a harley guy and am new to the spyder.

The Two Brothers, HMF, Micron, Hindle, and others that are made for the Spyder should just be a slip on. Best place to find deals is in the 4 sale section of this forum, and then on EBay. It may take you longer than 3 weeks to get a good deal on a Hindle though.

As for your wife and the ringing ears, why not try something like the Ear Fuze headphones with an MP3 player? She likely won't be complaining about the trip at all, as she will be entertained at the same time as blocking a lot of the exhaust noise.

Exhaust stuff

My bike came with a micron. I hated the sound of the stock one that I test rode... I'm a happy camper...:congrats::yes:

Aftermarket exhaust

I have a Leo Vince on mine - has a really nice rumble at idle and a Ducatti-ish type sound when cruising but screams in the higher RPMs. And thats with the removable baffle out of it.
Comes complete with everything you need - found new on ebay for about $600?
I have had the pipe almost 2 years now and no problems or repacks

BTW - Welcome to SpyderLovers!:congrats:

This one sounds good on youtube, don't know how load it would get at full throttle. Looks good INHO>

:congrats: and welcome

I am more than satisified with my Hindle but per Lamont's post from a while back, Hindle is amoung some of the milder pipes. I believe Tail Gunner is the loudest he tested and Two Brothers is a close second.
