RE: Free exhaust mod - GREAT SOUND !
Last pic, everything is back together and it sounds more like a motorcycle. No performance improvements like you get with an aftermarket system, but it is free, takes about half an hour, and sounds good.

JC,
Let me completedly understand what you did.
From what I'm reading, you have created an exhaust leak in the exhaust system?
You're letting hot exhaust gasses escape within the confines of the motorcycle - possibly near your leg?
Am I reading this correctly?

no performance gains..........because you lost power. is this correct gearheads?
I'm not understanding this one either. I live in Iowa and work with chemically addicted clients, and know from the meth problem that people trippin' on meth like to disassemble anything from tv's to fingernail clippers, but this one dumbfounds me.

Deej,
I don't know if "Brutal" is the correct term or not.
One of the problems I see with some websites is that there is some bogus information being posted there. Folks that are new to the sport or new to the bike, see it, go out and do what is suggested and get very disillusioned with the bike and or sport - not to mention the site.
I have seen places where folks have posted information that can be dangerous to do. The exhaust leak caused by the mod JC posted could fit into that category. I don't want to see anyone get hurt because they did not fully understand what the posted was trying to accomplish.
How do we know that this wasn't just the case of someone putting bogus info up in an attempt to trip someone else up?
Perhaps the term "PROTECTIVE" of what is posted here in our little spot in cyberspace is a bit more discriptive. Just trying to keep things the way we want them - helpful, informative, useful, money-saving and proven modifications.
While I can see that JC wanted to get a bit of LOUD from his bike - which in my opinion is his perogative - I just wanted to make sure that others fully understood what he was trying to accomplish BEFORE they tore up a multi-hundred $$$$$ device.
Just trying to police the posts to make sure they meet the criteria of what should be posted here. I do think everyone shares in that intent!
