[sm=sigh.gif] I'm still looking for the smiley of "chicken little" crying out "the sky is falling!! the sky is falling!!"

 

This isn't a smiley, but maybe this will help:

 

Yes the Big Gun Evo is a much better pipe than the old model it looked kinda cheap IMO[] I have 1200 miles on mine now and I do very little WOT and just ride around on back country roads 25 mph to 45mph at times I go 70 or 80 but just short distance. I inspected my packing and Vortex which came in the exhaust and it has no signs of wear. From looking at the pics of a race core and quiet core is there a big differance in them? There both a pipe with holes in them and just leave a big hole back to the spark arrester. I don't no but I would like to try both BUT if my bike is jetted for the Vortex and I open it up with a quiet core the tune up will change.... As always you can't have it both ways unless we get EFI

 

I didn't sound overly loud in your video; just a nice deep throaty sound. I probably wouldn't want to be warming it up next to my neighbor at 6:00AM though. I imagine it's around 100db at 4000 RPM with just the race core.
